Defence.

[champs95]

I think the most startling statistic is that Reading had only five goal attempts, and scored four!
Until we find the best blend in defence, I suspect we have to accept that we are going to be beating the weaker teams, while struggling to keep the top six at bay.
Of course, when you have the start from hell against the table-toppers, confidence drains immediately.
Come on, though, we've been here before.
We can't write a player (Douglas) off on the basis of one game! Look at his previous achievements.
How long have we all been watching football?

After a nightmare start. Confidence didnt appear to be affected as we equalised with out first chance. And it was an excellent goal. It soon disappeared as our woeful defence parted like the red sea. Then again as it fell apart to put us out of the game before HT. It was embarrassing.

Running out of excuses quickly. 4 defeats already and it's only Oct.
