    I think LJ has recruited 2 centrals who aren't up to it - Roberts and Mawson - and Nyatanga's confidence by virtue of not knowing what's going on is low.

    Long is so far not the Darren Moore character that LJ has been saying we need.

    As far as full backs are concerned, I must admit I tend to judge them on what happens when we do have the ball, rather than when the other side are attacking.

    Wabbara does not impress. Juddy makes hard work of everything. Bree is not yet good enough (seems to me he might not even be a full back). White was great today but he isn't ours.

    Anyway, today we were cut open (again) with ease. I don't think that most teams who come to our place realise how soft we are if they attack. Things could be even worse.

    Summat's got to change. Again. Personnel or organisation.

    Our defence

    The problem is the defence isn't protected they could just run straight through, the job of the midfield is stop their attackers getting to our defenders

    The problem is we have signed 5 new defenders and a goalie already this season. How many rolls of the dice do we give LJ?
