What’s happened to our defence?

The goalkeeper situation was always going to bite us in the bottom eventually.
I'll stick my neck out and say Lopata has been off for a bit now.
Sorry but Taylor in the middle of the park is not for me, moves around laboriously.
Then chuck in the lack of hold up play from our forwards...ball comes back quickly.

Agreed that inexperienced Blondy might make mistakes but could still be a safer bet than young( er) Collin.
I can’t help dreaming that Steve coming back could enable us to win the play-offs.

Agree with all points here.
 
Fine margins, these are all young lads. A bit of self-doubt creeping in maybe. Football is as much psychological as anything else. Change of goalkeeper naturally unsettles a defence.

Also after a great run like we had, there is always a little wobble. I remember the 05/06 title winning season when we won 8 in a row. We then went and lost 3 or 4 on the bounce and everyone was panicking. No need to, every club has good and bad runs throughout a season and injuries play their part of course.

We haven't become a bad side overnight. A clean sheet or two will hopefully restore a bit of belief.
