And yet we didn’t concede from open play yesterday, so one could argue the defensive set up is working. Unfortunately we can’t defend set pieces not one but two free headers for the first goal, followed by two free headers for the rest, weak defending by poor defenders is our problem. As for full backs people got on the back of Mellor and Taylor-Sinclair but these two are a massive downgrade on them, one thing I’ve learnt this season is the premier league U21 is no preparation for the grind of real league football.Altarnun_Green":mmz13sd1 said:Steve Evans":mmz13sd1 said:i agree that our full backs looked every inch non league standard yesterday.oldage":mmz13sd1 said:Its not only Macey.What sort of training did our fullbacks have with Premiership sides.They seem to lack the basics of how to defend!
To be fair, our full backs are being overloaded. The midfield is so narrow that most of the opposition managers seem to work out that its all rather easy playing 1/2 around the stranded full backs. I like Lamerias going forward but whichever side he plays on gets no protection at all. Also, sometimes our full backs seem to get pulled in closer to our centre backs, leaving space on both wings. Is that our game plan (which I think it is otherwise they would have had a rocket up their backsides and told to sit out wider).

Luke said he had a discussion with him and decided it was time to move on. He might of been told that he intended to get a premiership youngster in or xyz as first choice and that he would be used as second choice. Luke didn't want this so decided to move on whereas letheren might be happy with that situation

Not really because he knew he'd be #2 at Swindon. Unless he resigned himself to it when bettwer offers didn't materialise as expected
