Boro v notts goals

Does Pindroch speak English?

Pindroch was injured, it was Fitzsimons again. Nolan said that he's going to review the Pindroch injury situation, I suspect he's giving Fitzsimons one more game (tonight). I fully suspect that we will have a new goalie for next Tuesday!

Terrible defending, almost comical on the first goal. Come on Nolan get a loan keeper in at least.

I've been harping on about no protection from the midfield but we've also let in a lot of set pieces, maybe the goalie needs to be more commanding and communicate more? I.e we need a new keeper?

Yes. Midfielders are only culpable when folk are running through unmarked. Most of the pish is from poor defending of crosses, either blocking the cross, heading it, or keeper dillying.

These are a mixture of all of the above.

I think if you start with a noisy, commanding keeper, it fixes a lot of issues. Clear, sharp early communication, eliminates the "yours/mine, erm damn" issue, and can often make the center back look a lot more commanding too. The keeper is the one with the view. He needs to be more forthright and vocal, which will fix a bunch of issues at the same time.

New keeper or vast improvement needed

Shocking defending alright, but some potent striking. Have to say that while Stead can still score like that from open play, he's still a major asset to the squad never mind what he brings off the field.
