Seems to me that everyone agrees that the defenders play well i.e give 100% but we still leak goals What about a extra defensive midfielder which provides extra cover, as much as i like howard sometimes defnsively he has let us down, marking at corners, tracking back, caught in poccession. Away from home adding that extra cover in front of the back 4 could work?? The defenders are not just to blame, you defend as a TEAM!!!!!!
RE: thought that was togwells job? is but you have 5 attacking players and 5 defensive players as soon as they went 3 upfront last night we got swamped, not saying every game but away from home could work? Arsenal had petit and viera they offered extra protection to the defence?!?!?
RE: thought that was togwells job? In situations like that, we need to respond with changes of our own. Did we?
Go on then a defensive midfielder, Paul Thirwell. You wont find him on Soccerbase but has just gone out on loan from i think Derby County,why i dont work scouting for Barnsley i will never know.
