What is so wrong with our defensive structure? I really wanted to see Lindsay gone after the Derby game, but to be honest we have been even worse after he was left out. I had high hopes for Chester after his first game, but right now I feel we have the same problems as when Indi played in the middle. He is simply too vulnerable in the air and loses way too many headers. Anyway I really feel it's time Collins gets a real chance to play himself into our starting 11. He has more pace and is clearly stronger in the air than Chester. Chester seems really low on self confidence, and why he decided to let the QPR player pick up the ball for their third without trying to stop him from turning was one of the poorest decision of the afternoon for me.
....................Butland....................
Smith........Batth..........Collins......Indi
................Allen.....Clucas..............
Diouf................Powell...............Ince
...................Campbell..................
Subs; Davies, Lindsay, Chester, Vokes, Tymon, Thompson, Cousins.
I really hope Ryan will be back soon to replace Batth!

It seems a long time since we had 4 clean sheets on the bounce and Smith had his best ever game for us. What has gone wrong?
They are all too slow, but they always have been.
I would suggest over confidence, too many games for old legs, lack of focus and concentration, little assistance from MF and forwards. McClean helps the defence but the rest just lose the ball and stand and watch.
The back line was ragged today, instead of straight, Pulis would have had a seizure!

Even with those clean sheets we were driving in last chance blocks etc weren't we? We all love to see them but it was still desperate, they comes from being shit in other positions.. Mostly midfield. |
