Clean Sheets

Wed Oct 01, 2014 10:16 am

One concern is the number of clean sheets that we have achieved this season so far.

We have played 12 games and only kept 1 clean sheet and that was against Wigan at home. Even Coventry & Port Vale have scored goals against us.

There is no doubt that the chopping and changing has not helped and hopefully with a more settled defence we can tighten up at the back. We are not scoring a lot so having a tight defence is the difference when it comes to getting a result. We need to start keeping a few clean sheets particularly when we come up against the top teams like Forest.

Agree about the clean sheets...but its not so much the defence as the midfield being too weak and giving possession away

as long the midfield weaknesses aren t addressed our defence will continue to be under pressure

Totally agree. We need a solid midfield to break down the opponents on the attack because at the moment the defence are having to cope with wave after wave of attack with little help from the midfield. We need to shore up the midfield.
