what's the point…...

…….in having a defence

we have 11 players who from a set piece can't mark in the 6 yard box.

they don't man mark
they don't follow their men
they don't match runs

they don't even bother their backsides picking up the posts.

In 35 years I can't remember such lacklustre performances.

Even the die hard fans are struggling with reasons to come along to the matches.

Joking aside if our defence done the basics we will improve because heads are going down inside half an hour every week due to the lazy sods at the back not giving a toss.

See our midfield is utter dross and missing in every game so defence always under pressure and front line getting no chances so if midfield needs to be looked at on a grand scale.

Absolutely spot on in your assessment of whats wrong.

But, we all need to get behind the team to get out of this mess.

Think hand on heart the one thing that has been consistant with the club is the support the fans have given the team this season both home and away.They will do until the last game of the season

Correct - the midfield is non existant and getting behind the team isn't going to achieve much.

We are doomed and the new manager won't change that. This is the worst team I have seen on the park for 40 years - everyone of them a wage thief.

The Board need to go - it is under them this club has failed to prosper in the best footballing times I have known in 40 years supporting the club.
