How many times have we done that at Meadow Lane this season. They were parked in our half for five minutes before scoring their third and we offered nothing at 4-3. Can we also add fitness to our list of weaknesses? My other issue, and this applies to both LW and SM, is the habit of mass substitutions with 20 minutes or so to go. Very rarely has it improved our performance!
We’ve been on the slide for months now but we need to give our new Head Coach a chance to turn it round, supported by positive action from our Recruitment Team.
Its too late for the recruitment team to help out , the transfer window is shut. They should have addressed the defensive problems before the start of the season.. Also, SM doesn't make things any better for himself when he leaves out one of our better defenders, and then takes off the wrong players at a critical time in the game.
