Defence.

Sad thing is everyone thought Douglas was the answer to the left back problem but in my eyes he doesn't seem any better than bell.

hes so slow clumsy and unambitious.. bell FAR better..!

It's all a connection. 3 in midfield leaves us wide open against good teams. And we struggle to break down average sides who pack midfields. It also offers no protection to a poor defence.

But it then exposes the already poor defence and it looks all the world kind its just the defence. It's not. For me its the system. And the midfield not being good enough. The goals conceded tonight where shocking. And I'm not even talking about the freak first goal after 9 seconds. William's got the ring around from that Joao who was nothing but average for us. He looked a world beater tonight.

We scored 2 decent goals and played some ok stuff going forward. But like at Watford we ship all these goals. We arent good enough to overcome so many basic errors. 7 goals in 2 games vrs 2 decent sides. 3 defeats in 4. 1 win in 5. Basically we beat 2 newly promoted sides with 10 men for half the game. And a woeful Derby side. And lost to everyone decent or average. And where unable to break down a sold average Cardiff.

Tonight was a real test vrs a decent in form side. Nothing has changed really. Poor defensive errors. Not quite good enough despite little spells. Poor in midfield where we lost the game.

I think he HAS to return to 4-2-3-1(with 2 sitters) at the expense of our attacking potency. there`s no other solution. i think we`ll suffer for a few games though before that works out. if he doesnt, yes, we`ll entertain, but for me football isnt about that.
