I think Malpas knows that, he's been talking about adding height in the week. Just need to be a bit more organised on the marking as well I think.

Clean sheets in the league under Sturrock: 3
Clean sheets in the league under Malpas: 3
To be fair, most goals at this level will come from a cross. That is why Sturrock focused on it so much, and why he is so successful.

...though I dare say we concede more per game now than we did under Sturrock!
2 per game over the last 6...

To be fair, most goals at this level will come from a cross. That is why Sturrock focused on it so much, and why he is so successful. its not a question of clean sheets though. its the fact that conceding alot from crossing will do no good for a defence's confidence. it means conceding a corner late on (cobblers, carlisle etc) is going to cause nervousness throughout the side, invariably leading to an equaliser. beating northampton and carlisle (i.e. without conceding those headers in the last 5 minutes) would see us 4 points better off. its as simple as that. |

i've just realised how unclear and shabby that last post is, but the sentiments are true and hopefully understandable.

I think McNamee brings the average down a bit! I think most of the players are in the 5' 10- 6' 1 mark with only really Corr and perhaps Paynter (how tall is Paynter?) getting up to 6' 4+ Perhaps a taller defender would be useful, but who they'd replace I don't know. |

paynter looks like a big lad on the pitch but is actually quite small in person, i was suprised.
peacock is a big lad though.

plus Peacock is a fucking rock in the air, he wins everything....
I do think we were better under Sturrock however.....
Not that I want Malpas out, I'll give him a chance.....but he doesnt have Sturrocks track record and not alot do. I think Sturrocks one of, if not the best manager outside of the Premiership.

i think we definitely lack some proper big bruisers, we're not a particularly short team but even losing someone like peacock means we lose a fair bit of height and aerial strength.
someone else has probably made this point but i'm too lazy to check.
