We need a defensive coach urgently

You never know Kelton, once they've hired this set piece coach a defensive coach may be next. You could still end up being right! Notts are very good at keeping things under wraps lately.

Your right and the club are about to address it with a coach

I accept the apologise from the posters who ridiculed the very idea when i put this thread out there last week. Some on here will try to split hairs by saying it is not a defensive coach but a coach dealing with corners set pieces and free kicks etc and claim it involves both ends of the pitch. Yea ok ……… i think most on hear will accept where the main role will concentrate its efforts on dont we.

I’ve had a look at the job description and there’s one word that is definitely notable by its absence.

Kelton that's not a oops it's a fact, regardless of what coach we go for. We conceded more because of the change in style of play, Ardley went for 1-0 style, IB for 5-4 but with NA's squad. Both get 3 points but I know which is better to watch. From the description it will be from both attack and defence perspectives

Fair play to Kelton on this one.

Despite the ridicule, at the very least he was proved half right.

Would that be the 'defensive' half by any chance?

The defensive bit, allied to the 'new coach needed' bit.

To me that makes Kelton 'half right' as a minimum.

We had Dean Yates as a defensive coach a few seasons ago

He nailed half of it for sure.

In fact as he clearly doesn't recognise or even acknowledge anything in the attacking half during football matches, I'd go as far as saying he's 100% right ;)

Credit where credits due.
