    Aye I think that's fair comment. Lewin isn't a LB, he simply doesn't look comfortable there. Smith should have played yesterday. And we do need another LB. I wonder if he selected Lewin there to counter Vicenti's height though, although it didn't work for the 2nd goal.

    Only trolling numpties criticise individual players

    after a defeat. Third game where we've conceded at least 3, same dificiencies as last season and season before, common factor...?
    Nope, only those that went to the fans meeting can see the bigger picture, apparently.

    LJ put Nyatanga at left back at Millwall I think it was to counter the height of their strikers but he's stayed there since. I think he's a decent centre back although on current form he's behind Mawson and Roberts but he's dreadful at left back. Feel sorry for the lad. Real round peg in a square hole. Looks very uncomfortable. Did every time he had to play there last season and same again this season.

    I'm sure LJ knows he needs a left back and it seems he doesn't trust Smith too much. But yes we've conceded a lot of goals. Even Millwall who are the divisions whipping boys at the moment scored 2. The thing is apart from left back the rest of the defence looks sound!
