We haven't signed a right back we signed A recognised centre back then play a young lad ,Williams a big miss ,I'm not surprised we need time to sort it but time is running out!

Until we sort out the defence, we have no chance!!

We are all over the place. So awful.

Raglan and Anderson have competed for the same ball a few times - tells me one of them is out of position. Isn’t Anderson a centre back?

We are beating our self.
Two weeks to organise and we have two players challenging while the smaller crewe player nips in and scores a farce goal.

Hopefully supersub. Cameron will come on and get tripped 3 times in the penalty area.
Jackson has been poor last few games.

Maybe the system is right but we just don't have the quality or making too many mistakes. Square pegs? I don't know. He will see this as highlighting where we need to strengthen, but on paper, the squad is light in too many key areas.

When I saw Raglan flagged by a young lad and Shipley, I feared the worst can't understand the thought process here!

How hard is it to sign a right back? We've known this for months it's an absolute joke!

Not looking good at Half Time. And yes, I was positive going into this today, big wake up call and a reminder of how short we are on quality. (and yes Nige, a Right back!)

Grabbing that goal gave us a way back in but to concede three before HT is not good at all.

Games lost right now, so he may as well go gung-ho trying to get back into it.

I think it's because the shirt printers never produced a No. 2 strip.
