Chris Mills Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Christie is still better than Shotton and Keogh is more effective in the middle for us. Albentosa has been solid, no major mistakes. Forsyth is better suited to our defence due to his aerial capabilities which puts him ahead of Warnock in my book.What would be your back 4 out of interest?I think Warnock was decent in the air yesterday and did a great job defending. Would choose him over Forsyth at the minute. Other than that swap any of the rest around, don't think it makes too much difference, just pick out of a hat and stuck with it for the remaining games.

I think it's that last sentence that worries me more than anything. There isn't 4 defenders that stand out above the rest as solid and dependable, Keogh aside.Regardless of which league we're in next season, we're going to need a new defence. Keogh and Albentosa (once he gets to grips with the league and squad) are decent but none of our full-backs are good enough at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised at how good he was in the air last night considering he's not exactly threatening door frames with his height. I thought both full backs played deeper last night. We seemed to play down the middle far more than our usual plan of getting the full backs or wingers in a good crossing position on the touchline then hitting the first man or man sitting in row A on the opposite side of the pitch.

I wouldn't expect it again against Huddersfield/Millwall/Reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashz09 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 1st time in a long time which gave us all the space in the world and didn't really do a good job closing us down. Was good to have space again thoe that's when we're deadly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't expect it again against Huddersfield/Millwall/Reading.Yeah, I was wondering if it was a new tactic, considering the full backs who played last night are more defensive than those who started the season (and in Warnock's case, if the Brentford game is anything to go by, can't cross for toffee), or whether it was down to the opposition. Guess we'll find out more on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
