Thankfully we have a decent keeper and central defender on the bench

Pitch isn’t helping, but they’re just shambolic at the back today. O’Brien weak, Odimayo being outpaced, Conroy ponderous. No (effective) communication, we’re just not as good as them.

Not just him by any means but his kick was woeful initially.

Theres no sugar coating this, we have conceded 15 goals in the last 6 games now and only 1 win in the last 6 (with how it stands).

3-1. Second goal killed us as I thought we would get the next goal to take the lead. Just a shame we tend to gift so many chances to the opposition. Today we have paid the price.

Ward really does not create confidence at the back.
I'm nervous whenever it goes near him. His distribution is woeful.
It was a poor kick for the third which put us straight back under pressure.

I think it was mentioned in the pre-match analysis for the City game that we are the "luckiest" team in the league.  OK, they said we had the biggest differential between goals conceded and expected goals conceded, but you get my point.  Chickens are just coming home to roost and not helped by moving the pieces around the board as well I imagine.

I remember worrying about Reed based on his first game for us, which turned out to be ill founded.  Hope the same happens with O'Brien, he looks completely out of his depth.  This is one of my issues with the Garner approach of this all being a Project and developing youth talent.  What we clearly have lacked is a League Two stopper but we seem to have put in another player who we risk having to see learn the game live.

Had a nagging feeling that the first game after Man City was always going to be this way.  You're right.  Defence looks lost.  Caught between the headlights for two of the goals.

We look awful at the back.

Ward poor distribution
O'Brien struggling with the pace of the game
Conroy seems to be playing hospital balls for fun
Odimayo silly challenge and needs some help
Hunt couple of good crosses, but looking rusty at RB

Midfield has been over run:
Lyden made some good challenges but has had difficulty finding a red shirt
Reed hasnt been at the races
Williams seems to have an understanding with McKirdy, but apart from one awesome pass the ball has bounced off him!
Iandolo has had space but hasn't been able to exploit it.

That’s why coaching isn’t enough. Defences need organising. It’s always been my gripe with Garner.

There’s got to be more behind a game than just passing the ball around.
