Jeezuz ! Just saw their goals on Sportscene. I knew we were poor, but FFS, the defending from midfield backwards was simply amateurish. Bang goes 3rd place IMO :blue:

With regards to 3rd or 2nd as still not gave up it will depend on next 2 home games and was always going to IMO if we can get 2 wins and it is possible we will be guaranteed 3rd and will possibly have a change at 2nd last game. We need to put that nightmare behind us and move forward as saturdays game is massive now.
I watched the lowlights on bbc,:(
We were lucky it was only 5 :s
Thankfully i wasn't at the game but watching that on tv...Christ that was grim. Looking at our team before a ball was kicked in anger this season you would have thought our defense would have been the strongest part of our team. Maybe hutchie leaving could be a blessing, i'm not blaming him for our defensive woes, but maybe it could mean a better defensive unit. Saying that, the midfield have got to take some blame for our goals against column. Our defending in general is all over the place.
Exactly I do not blame Hutchison for our defensive woes (but he has been poor as part of a poor unit) Had he not been leaving I think McCall would be tempted to stay the course with our defence and frankly that doesnt bare thinking about for next season. The defence has had 12 months to get better and they get worse by the week. Hutchison leaving will force a re think, including goalkeeper, and thats no bad thing. If Sutton has a dry spell next sQuote:

The goalkeeper is key...you can argue just how bad or not Gunnar and Hollis are but when the defence had a skinny teenager behind them they played with much more confidence around Christmas.
I also think we miss Ramsden a lot - not only was he solid at right back, I think he helped prop up Hutch a bit, though that's based on only a feeling.
