Good defence?

[silverfox]

Think again Robbo.......2 simple goals cost us!

 

[MAQ]

your back early SF, how shite was that?????

think my sig says it all

 

[lawlessdan]

very poor defense today

 

[Bladesman]

Shocking defending.

2 soft goals.

Got to hit the ground running in the division and we wont get far with defending like that.

 

[The One]

the black dude was too strong for them.

Think the problem was we didn't have morgan to shout orders and organise. Don't think he has much to worry about.

 

[shorehamview]

Bloody awful defence. Bring back Morgan. He's not even scared of tigers.

 

[DazBlade88]

We missed Morgan today and it was clear for all to see.

The first goal was a ridiculous lapse of concentration after taking the lead and the marking for the second goal was horrendous.

Plenty to work on at the back but I'm sure we will get it right.

 

[keenzy]

said it before and its been confirmed today. we need another defender.

 

[Sharpy]

Anybody notice what side both goals came from?

Naysmith had a poor game.

And what the hell are Monty and Leggy doing together? Mental.

Naysmith had a poor game.

I thought it was more down to Armstrong than Naysmith if I'm honest, he was nowhere to be seen.

 

[keenzy]

everyone got sucked over. armstrong should have been with him, but naysmith had no one to mark and was looking at him so should have followed him. no one jumped with the big black lad. needed someone to go up for it and put them off at the least!

It was just a collective defensive shambles. Especially the second.

I didn't boooooo

 

[S64 Blade]

I thought Naysmith played well.

Think we really missed Morgan commanding at the back today.

 

[Tinoblade]

Thought naysmith played wel also!

Yup no way would that have been a free header had morgan been playing

I dont think too bad a performance except for the 2 goals

 

[keenzy]

looked abit, what can i say... dull without warnock on the sideline.

 

[Tinoblade]

Robbo looked like he was stood as far to the right as he possibly could

 

[RichJay]

I was very disappointed with the first goal, it reminded me of the goal that Villa scored against us last season. We should be professional enough to concentrate and defend after we have scored a goal. Hope Morgan is back for next game to organise the defence.

 

[rotherhamblade]

lucketti isnt a leader....once morgs is back this problem should clear up

 

[Greasy Chip Butty]

Poor defending for the goal, we couldn't handle Platt's strength and height. If Morgs was in he'd have stood for nothing, gave him a few kicks to say hello and made sure he was being marked!!

 

[7UpJordan]

Unfortunately, we have always had a problem of conceding too many soft goals and I don't think it will ever change.

 

[jodman]

I agree on both counts.

Platt won EVERYTHING today, the guy looked to be a foot bigger then our tallest player.

Morgs would have definately made a difference today, no communication from lucky coupled with some very poor decision making by killa cost us dear.

I am wondering if the lack of decent opposition during our pre-season has failed to give our deffence the correct preperation.

 

[Robbie]

Was I watching a different game to you?

Seriously, whilst Platt gave us loads of problems, he very rarely won the ball (the goal apart)...... Killa whilst struggling always got to the ball first and at least half cleared.

 

[60Williams]

Platt

I agree with you Robbie! Although Platt challenged for everything Killa was a match most of the time & even if Killa didn't make contact with the ball he did enough to make Platt ineffectual. Apart from the goal :shakehead:
