    "Reid punts it down field..."

    I think that just said it all.

    There's a counter argument to that

    We haven't. They're OK, and occasionaly they really click, but far too often they're very quiet.

    But we have seen them click more than rarely

    Preston, Bradford, Oldham, Scnuthorpe are merely the tip of the iceberg

    I didn't go to Preston

    But you're right about the Scunny and Bradford games. They were fantastic. Can't say I could think of many others though, although those that travel to all the away games may mention some others. I sometimes think those two games have blinded us somewhat to how good we really are. We've been ordinary at best since then. We've won 2 in 8 and haven't deserved any better.

    Agree after seeing Yeovil performance

    I still dont think its neccessarily a defensive thing tho.

    When the midfield were passing the defence were the best in the league or almost the best. Despite the fact its been swapped n changed right from the start of the season.

    I think one of the problems is that many of the players are semi injured but playing thru it due to tiny squad
