It’s all well and good criticising individual performances but the bottom line is we have a weak defence that needs drastic improvement.
To me it’s quite clear that no defence coaching takes place at all at the club, the back four are basically clueless and are making basic schoolboy errors.
Gillingham’s goals were nothing special, a standard corner hoofed into the box and two simple crosses. No spectacular Messi type performances, just the basic bread and butter stuff of the lower leagues, the tactic of hit the ball to the big bloke up front. We had no answer to it giving away three unopposed free headers.
Talk of signing a replacement for Moore or resigning Pringle or some other striker is just stupid. While ever we have a Warne and Barkef at the helm we will continue with this **** or bust style of football whilst letting in at least one goal per game from basic errors.
But what do we expect from Warne and Barker when it comes to coaching a defence? Not much considering both were forwards in their playing careers.
We need a defence coach now, forget signing anything else.
Without one we can only hope for mid table at best.
