Tell me why not yesterday we were absolutely clueless defence was shocking.

It's not due to 3 or 4

It's down to zonal defending instead of man to man

We aren't very good at zonal defending

Thought you hated Wood.

[gru]

Thought you hated Wood.

In a back 3 he can do a job played when recovered from games. We need a commanding centre back there's only him fit & Odoffin whose got height.

Just one thing. We dont have proper wing backs!

Kioso was bought as a wing back and so was Bramall, leo can play wing back too

I think gru has a point, it allows us to get two up front, gives us width, we have to learn to switch play faster than we do, Coventry is a 10 yard pass man, he should be able to ping it left and right. I think Humphreys and Blackett are in the 3 and then you can pick one from Wright, Wood, harding and Peltier

We're short of a few things we haven't replaced Barlaser for taking corners free kicks. Kioso can play RWB. Leo can defend gets forward can't see why he can't play LWB.

Does zonal mean man to man marking? Central defending to me is how you can read the game. Wood that was one of his strengths. Remember Broadfoot he wasn't that quick but could read game 2nd season here when he played centre back nothing much got past him.
