    Anyone watch them today? Score an early goal against the run of play, soak up pressure for over an hour with 6-7 people behind the ball defending and walk away with your fifth win and fifth clean sheet in a row.

    If we 'soaked up pressue'

    it would be seen as sitting back and HOPING to defend a lead.

    We'd just get accused of sitting back on the lead and people would be shouting "stop defending"

    A brilliant plan sir, but for two small problems

    We wouldn't be able to score the early goal and we wouldn't be able to defend it!

    6-7 people behind the ball

    Were they leaving 4-5 up front then?

    Right now i'd take us sitting on a lead with nearly everyone defending behind the ball soaking up pressure if it means we will win the next five with five clean sheets they Newcastle have just done.

    But our current team cant defend a lead either

    At least I dont think they can - not really had much practice this season but last season they couldnt

    It was a tactic Davey got a lot of stick for - trying to hang onto a lead -we couldnt do it

    Not since the early days of Gudyon and his team of centre halves have we had the players who can shut up shop once we got ahead

    We can't defend a lead as we never play for the full 90 minutes of a game. Remember last season and the goals conceded in the last 10-15 minutes. Hopefully Mark Robins will explain to our team that a game lasts for 90+ minutes!!
