I guess the extended highlights last week were just because we played Blackburn. Then again we probably don't want to see any more than this.
 
Jeez that was worse than I was expecting. Defenders and midfielders just nowhere near
 
Ferdinand didn't move on two of them.

Can't do anything about the third, just a good goal
 
Goal highlights. Don't click the link RHB, just don't do it you know you'll be upset.......................Oh **** that was just awful, I should have listened to me.
 
Looked like a non contact game so many tackles avoided .Thought the team were supposed to be very close as a unit,but look like a lot of individuals who are not bothered on that showing
 
I think having a midfield might have helped.

We've dumped our only decent defensive midfielder in Atkinson, yet expect an easy win?! Both full backs can't defend, yet we're surprised at a pasting? PB - earn your corn now mate, need a win to restore some faith!

You know that Leonard is still with us, right?

I actually agree that although Atkinson was limited and I wasn't sad to see him leave, we probably do miss his industriousness on one flank to sure things up. I wasn't there but can imagine that McGlashan and Kightly leaves us a bit exposed and we were simply overrun. If Ranger gets back in a few weeks I wonder if we might play 451 a bit more with him as a sole striker. Cox and Fortune aren't going to play a full press and so we do run the risk of struggling to win the midfield battle, if up against a strong 4 or 5.
 
Fair point, perhaps I should have said wide defensive midfielders. We've got two full backs who struggle to defend and yet we have no defensive back up from wide in midfield:sad:
