We haven't been closing people down for years now. How many goals have we conceded from outside the box in recent years? So many simple things we can't get right.
Dont forget we'll actually have the EFL Trophy to look forward to in a few days - Its where we'll get to see the kids actually putting in a shift and giving a shit for us.
as it stands we're 4 points from Burton in last place........ this is dire. Two teams below have a game in hand. Make no mistake, we are in a relegation battle.
Watching their goal on replay again, every one of our defenders is facing the goal as it goes in. Shocking defending, 5 defensive players in the pitch (6 if you include Dobson) and not one could think to move towards the attacker and close down.

It's such a chore watching us.
This change in formation doesn't work.
Genuinely looking forward to that at the moment
Playing 3 at the back is supposed to shore up the defense, guess when they're all terrible players it means nothing.
This formation is equally as dire as it has been every single time we play it.
Make no mistake, we are in a relegation battle.
But don't they pick the players and choose the signings (eg Swindon rejects)!
Probably Garner was the cheapest option!
His Swindon players would have been squad fillers, not starters.
Christ.
