Lord_Ram Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 weve been flooding a lot of goals recently, we were on a run of about 7 cleansheets in 10 games and now weve conceded plenty in a few games the results from: - february: - Derby 4 - 1 Bolton - Bournemouth 2 - 2 Derby - Derby 1 - 2 Reading - Rotherham 3 - 3 Derby - Derby 3 - 2 Wednesday - Derby 2 - 0 Charlton - Fulham 2 - 0 Derby - March: - Brighton 2 - 0 Derby - Derby 2 - 2 Birmingham excluding , thats 3 wins in the last 9 games16 goals conceded in 9 games, 11 in the last 6, midtable formweve been relying on our attack to bail out our defence a lot recently, but we found out last season that that tactic doesnt work, but whats been the problem, whats changed thats caused us to concede so many, is it the absence of a defensive unit through eustace, have we bottled it, or are we getting complacent?oh, and this isnt an 'its all doom and gloom, were not even going into the playoffs, were completely **** thread', its a sensible and valid point that i felt is in deserve of a thread for discussion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroyDyer Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I would argue that the defence has been poor all season. Martin holds it up and gives them a better outlet, and Grant was pulling off a couple of Worldy saves a game. Take Martin out, and add a dip in Grants form, and this was always going to happen. Juggles defenders around almost every week, and leaves one common denominator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistoldPete2 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Defence was not at fault for either of the goals today. Poor pass by Hendrick, poor challenge by ince and poor decision by the ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloughandtaylor Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 The game should have been put to bed long before 90+ minutesToday was a game that we should have never lost 2 pts from - poor defending at set play once again .I do feel we are now going into make or break time..........Norwich away, Boro home, Wolves away, Watford Home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 we've been inconsistent in defence except one thing. I'll leave you to work out what that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroyDyer Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 your campaign against keogh has gone too far. after about 2 minutes today he turned and passed back to Grant, and clearly the crowd nearby had a go at him.he then turned and had a go back at the Derby fans....which is something i've never seen before.a derby player visibly angry and upset with the home fans....and after only 2 minutes of the game?for gods sake get off his back.everyone.he may have flaws, but he is the captain and is still probably the best option.

cloughandtaylor Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Look the whole defence requires a shake up - we cannot defend set pieces, another one today!Sooooooooo fragile and we going into the next few games were the opposition do score for fun!But that is a summer job and to be fair the Brummies never looked like scoring 1 never mind 2.

Purpleram Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Blaming the defence today is silly, unless you have seen the game your opinion is at best flawed, Keogh played very well today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
