Shocking defending has marred our recent games. Only last Tuesday Hogan was unmarked for Birmingham’s first goal after 12’ as the ball sailed over the heads of three Swans defenders. Deeney equalised from a set-piece in the 89’, Manning leaving him unmarked for a simple close range tap-in.
RM said after the game “We have conceded far too many goals for the amount of shots and chances we give away, so we have an issue with that.”
Moving on to Huddersfield at the John Smiths Stadium on Saturday, our last game for a month. Bottom of the table they went to sixth place QPR on Tue night and won 1-2 so will have their tails up when they play us.
Huddersfield have only scored 5 goals in their last 6 games, but just 3 conceded.
Only five other teams have a worse defence than us, with 28 goals conceded.
