Today has at least showed some more positives again, on various subjects. But admittedly, we can't keep doing that to ourselves with appalling defending like that. And in fairness, there will be many better teams than Burton who will take even more advantage, of such bad defending and keeping.
Sign a proper no nonsense centre half and we could be in business this season but sadly my gut feeling is we’ll try to get by with what we’ve got.
If l was Connor l would be begging the board, a bit of investment in the defence could reap it's rewards this season. I'm not holding my breath though
A centre half with a bit of pace is a must but they don’t come cheap. Might end up being a loan. Whatever but it needs to be sooner rather than later.
We need a central defender and a central forward too. We can't rely on McGoldrick all season. And we were regularly pumping through balls for him to chase today - who came up with that as a tactic?
Said elsewhere but it's still valid, we are two proper central defenders and a decent back-up for McGoldrick from having a squad that might be able to compete over course and distance imho. Small sample size but McGoldrick, Cleary, Kelly and Vickers have all impressed. Vimal and Bland continue to progress and DKD, Phillips and Russell remain potent goal threats. But you can't simply be expected to score 3 and 4 goals every game to win (as in our only three home wins since January 4th). We need to be able to win 1-0 now and again! Let's hope the penny has finally dropped with Sormaz and Neerav and the next week or two will see the arrival of this season's Bobby Thomas or Lewis Brunt equivalent together with a more seasoned reliable L1 centre back.
I couldn't believe that either. He should be doing as little running for the ball as possible for us.
