How the **** can you expect to make the prem with a bad DEF, since SGE took over we have managed just 7 clean sheets. Itôs not a go at SGE but the whole picture & going into next season with this sort of DEF...... SGE has done wonders & what with the short time he had to get DEFôs in & try & sort out the PS mess, I ainôt having a go at him (SGE) but Iôm just wondering, are the back 4 & GK working together ? understanding each other ? not with our poor GA stats they ainôt. SGE can only work with what he now has which ainôt alot. In my opinion we only have Bamba so thatôs alot of sorting out in the summer. To many teams going for the P. Oôs now & even though I hate to say it, we will miss out.

The offside trap isn't working. The attempt at it last night was pitiful. We play too high a line. Naughton pushes up and is often out of position. Bruno put in the wrost performance I've ever seen from him last night (as did most players). Abe is no holding midfielder. He doesn't protect the back four at all. None of the midfield do. The strikers don't protect the midfield. None of them chase it down, unless Waggy is on. Last night was particularly bad because we had no width and therefore no protection against there's. Also Sousa. That pathetic excuse for defending at the start of the season was a lot to recover from. I don't think we've got bad defenders now. Last night was a write off and was down to them having no confidence at all. It was a shambles. Ricardo can't fill them with much confidence either.
