Curtains Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Was it **** when we were 5 points clear?Ok this is the thing we have a new manager .He doesn't know our defensive frailties.He will soon find out.I was hoping for Shackell to come in. But I'm not sure he could even sort it out with our wing backs as they are . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 When will people learn that defending and attacking is done as a team, not just a back four or front two/three?Bournemouth conceded 66 goals in the 2013/14 campaign. The only changes they made to the back five were Boruc for Camp (after about 12 games in) and Daniels replacing Harte at left-back.Are you telling me that those two changes is the reason why they conceded 21 goals less the following campaign?

Curtains Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Right then curtains, what should our starting back 5 be for the Bolton game? Any signings you think we can get can be included if you wishWe have no certain starters do we IMO Shackell would be a certain starter . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 The defence is what it is, top 6 Champ quality to a man, not Prem class (why would it be?). Losing all our CDMs, losing Chris Martin and Cyrus Christie forgetting how to play football are what cost us last season. Thing is, despite all the sexy signings, we're still short in all those areas, unless we're playing a different formation. Looks of things at Grimsby would say we are sticking 433, so we are short of a right back and/or cover for Thorne (depending on how you see Baird), and cover for Chrissy Martin. Same as we were in May.We have goal threat from Bent as a game changer, we have possibly upgraded our wide areas, we'll see, and we have greater competition in goal and centre half, but the fundamentals of the squad haven't changed.

Cam the Ram Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 You're a very confusing person curtains Back in January you made numerous threads saying McClaren will stay at Derby and won't leave for Newcastle and he will guide us to the Premier League. Then at the end of the season you said he had to go because he's had his heart set on Newcastle since January and he's at fault for us dropping down the league. Now a month later you're blaming it on the defence, make your mind up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some posters need to be honest with themselves they say things like your an idiot if you think Mac was going to Newcastle and then hey ho he goes.

Mafiabob Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Thats because worryingly a good few people seem to think only defenders defend. They see the last line of defence and ignore the mistakes, poor marking, terrible positioning of the midfield and wingers.Thought everyone on here was smarter than that. On topic though. I'd expect Shackell to come in and be first choice. He's the best CB we've had here for a while. Just hope he's not bringing those rubbish Hollywood passes to Roy in row S, seat 433. totally agree alpha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has little to do with us attacking and defending as a team. That's the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
