Why Can't we defend dead ball situations?

[Jonboy60]

Watching goals on Sunday, Cattermole, Sunderland captain dragged off after 30 mins, playing shit, knee jerk reaction or warranted. Can you see Adkins ever doing this, right or wrong.

Probably Gillespie was the last player we had capable of putting a dangerous ball into the box, it's pathetic
