I just feel the lack of confidence in the defence permeates throughout the team, and one premier league midfielder isnt the answer to our prayers. Yes theyre the first (possibly second if the attackers press) line of defence, but none of our back 4 has had a good game in weeks now. MVE - always has to rely on his pace to get back, you can probably count on one hand the number of headers hes made, and always turns back looking for the pass. Hes arguably better bombing forward and taking players on, so why he always does back is a mystery. The other three are just having a mare at the moment. I'm sure tiredness has a huge part to play, but would Wolf be any worse than Thomas or Kitching? I wouldnt have thought so. I've never been a JDS fan, his reading of the game is poor and hes just not up to being a full back in this league.

If we dont stregthen in defence I'm struggling to see any improvement in form in the short term at least.

We need a midfield that protects or defence more and that is what we will have.

Anything more is a bonus

No, but he can cut out more at source and stop the 30 yard run at our defence that we’re giving our opposition.

I think for a club aiming at autos, to have 3 CB and Lati - who has done well but was originally bought in as a DM, it doesn’t show much ambition, and should’ve been an area we strengthened!

He wasn't brought in as a DM?

He was brought in to play in a back three?

Three left backs none are good enough
