Due to our issues defensively I can guarantee Carr isn't setting the team up as you think he is.

So you think we played 5221 not 3421 today?

They’re all shit defensively. The goals we’ve given away this season have been comical. Why the left wing back gets the stick rather than the DMs that can’t screen or the CBs who can’t track runner I don’t know.

You've not read my posts about the CBs then.
But Dasilva gets targeted. He cost us 2 goals today, the 2nd was just incompetentce

… or in this case a keeper who can’t move off his line and cut out a cross

Thomas also went to clear the cross then pulled away. He could have intercepted it if he just stuck his leg out or slid for it.

Really positive result and great commitment from the boys. Yeah defensively we need to improve, but that aside I thought we looked pretty comfortable. Hamer will always show sparks of class and the finish for their second was really good. O’Hare looked really mediocre.
But I love Basette.
EMC looked good also on LW so that’s promising with Hadji being out for several weeks.

I think our full backs are expected to drop back defensively when the opposition counters. There isn't a galaxy in this universe where you can successfully claim that isn't their job.

COH was a spectator, like in most of his performances last season the game passed him by. Didn’t think the booing would affect him but it seemed to

yeah true - I thought that but I’m not sure he was close enough to reach the ball, have to watch it back to check…

I think it will be to be fair. To claim it's not Dasilva's / MVE's job to defend is frankly idiotic.

We played really well even when it was 11 v 11. A point was well deserved and could/should have been more.

Two really poor goals conceded and that was down to combination of Da silva and Lati for both goals. Lati's marking and lack of pace really hits us hard at the back and Da silvas lack of concentration and sloppiness isn't helping our cause. We really need to address the CB & LB position in next two transfer windows.

2 points against supposedly two top of the the league sides in consecutive games is a real bonus. Let's kick on now.

Just watched the goals. The first he’s done for pace but Thomas fails to cut the cross out.
The second was a bad pass. Thomas again fails to come and deal, Collins should have done better. We’ve had this with sheaf a couple of years ago, giving the ball away thirty yards from goal isn’t an instant goal, two or three others had to fail to do their job as well.

Very true, we quite often drop back to a flat 5 when the opposition has gained possession and we've got everyone behind the ball

It’s not pedantry is it? The entire point is I understand the difference between a fullback and a wingback and you clearly don’t.

It's whatever you want it to be to suit your argument Robins will have signed off on it luckily for us, but Austin will have found him and fair play for that as I think he's going to be a huge asset for us. I know we agree on that much.

Thomas pulled out of the clearance due to the risk of an OG. Lati let Campbell get ahead of him far too easily.

Yeah watching it back it's not like he's ball watching, or on his heels, or facing the wrong way. He was well positioned and anticipated the pass.

It was just a superb pass by Hamer and Sakyi did him for pace.

Not everything has to be down to individual error, sometimes it's just good play by the opposition. Far better players than him have been done by a ball like that.

It's basically 5-4-1 in defence and we try and get into a 3-2-5 in attack.

Fuck knows what schmmeeee is on about

The entire point is you don't think our wing backs need to contribute defensively. So do you still stand by that?

I'm not entirely happy we failed to beat 10 men . We should have put 2 up much much sooner and we pass the ball around far too much on the edge of the area to just cross it in anyway .
