Lets be honest we've all known the defence lets us down.....

Tue Dec 28, 2010 4:32 pm

time and time again we know left back and centre half is the weskest link in what could be a fantastic season.

No point barking on about Drinkwater, Bellamy, Bothroyd - HUDSON AND NAYLOR ARE THE WEAKEST LINK!

And no reserve team football means the likes of Gypesa dn Blake are struggling to make the speed of games.

Who is to blame????

Totally agree, but they suck up to Jones so their places are guaranteed!

Nothing to do with sucking up... there aint competition in these two places, there just 2 good players in a bad bunch.

You've pretty much said it all there. We might as well have a traffic cone at left back. We ain't got a decent center half with MAYBE the exception of Riggot. And top it off Marshal couldn't catch pox in a Thai knocking shop.

This is why I don't understand why we are being linked with the likes of Hammill, Routledge, Best, Parkin and so on who are all attacking players. Surely people can see that going forward we have enough and that its the amount of goals we are conceding which is the problem. In my opinion I would see Heaton and Mcnaughton and possibly Riggott when fit stay in the starting XII and get new players for the rest of it because its begginning to cause us problems that we may live to regret

DJ has been in football long enough to recognise a good player from an average or poor one surely, so I expect to see a LB and CB coming to us in January.

If he can recognise good players why didn't he do that at the beginning of the season he had the means then from VT.

We desperately needed center backs last season and Jones gets an injury prone Riggot whose started one match. Now with Lee Failor on the left, who to me looks more of an interested bystander than a left back, we are easy meat. Hopefully Jones will drop him.
