TV Highlights Goals v Port Vale 13th August 16

Highlights don't show McLaughlin giving the ball away on the halfway line when we were on the attack for their first. We were enjoying our best spell of the match at that stage. Not the first time he's done that.
I don't remember Vale having any other notable efforts on goal.

1st goal: Awful defending to let the cross come into the box in the first place seeing as the crosser was surrounded by three blue shirts. Sokolik then at fault for leaving his man and standing in no mans land as the cross came in. Demetriou wasn't shy about telling him what he thought of being left to do Sokolik's job.
2nd goal: Quite difficult to pin point the blame, other than poor overall defending, but I'd say it was a mixture of Barrett and Sokolik. Barrett challenged for the ball with Streete and then ball watched whilst Streete quickly got himself into space. Barrett should have been quicker to react and far more aware of where his man was, but Sokolik saw it happening and ran off to do his own thing rather than covering Barrett.
All in all, we're in desperate need of one or two really decent new centre backs. Forget Simpson, the defence should be our main priority. The jury's still out on Sokolik for me and Barrett, despite being a hero of mine and still having something to offer, shouldn't be playing every game at this level when he's 37 this season. It quite simply isn't good enough and it's easy to blame Oxley as he's the goalkeeper, but any keeper would struggle with such an awful defence in front of them.

Set peices again aye... I wonder if it's any coincidence that us being poor at delivering attacking set peices has something to do with us being poor at defending set peices... Considering it'll be those attacking set peices being delivered for the defenders to defend against in training.
