Didn’t go today, lucky me!

Another home game, another defeat... Really need to retire Michael Turner on this showing, awful defending yet again!

 

[Flinty]

What was he doing for the 1st goal and looks pretty poor for the 2nd !

 

[Ricey]

White and Turner are ****e, they both looked terrible and at fault for our goals. Sooner Lennon comes back the better.

I would blame the system of 3 CB's. If Taylor Moore was playing in his best position, sweeping behind Turner in a back 4, then I doubt they would have scored those 2 goals.

JW at RB and some width on the right in midfield would make us look stronger in defence and give ourselves an option going forward.

no room in the coverage for the disallowed goal

What on Earth is Turner doing for the first?

Elvis is punished for the second by not releasing the ball sooner, however with 3 centre backs there should have still be adequate cover for him. Both goals are an absolute shambles from us

Spot on.

The best defending in recent times was when Ferdy was here. He would sweep and whoever played alongside him, Thommo or Turner, would attack the ball. The full-backs would tuck in to cover and in front of the back four would be a ball winner like Lenny or Tims who marshalled the threat of any runners.

Yesterday, the three centre-halves are almost playing like one centre half and two full-backs tucked in and consequently BR just walked through the gaps in the middle!

If you watch the first goal when Turner gets turned, its obvious that he can't run properly.. Perhaps he is playing injured or even his legs have finally failed him ?

 

[Andy_S]

This is their second goal. What on earth is John White doing there as a CENTRE BACK!?!?!

It's in the YouTube highlights at the end. I think the lino got it right.

 

[RobM]

Yes. Looks offside to me.

But watch the second goal. Who actually sprinted back when Yearwood lost possession? Er...um....

 

[LBBlue]

Yes. Looks offside to me.

No one - because there’s no one who is able to sprint - we lack pace in every position apart from Taylor Moore.

I thought it was Bwomono that lost possession

Oh- it might have been but my point remains.
