Re: Bury game

I sort of agree with Redraine,with the ball we have done ok,without it we are all over the place.In pre-season I mentioned about trying to work out the structure which we would adopt and I struggled !.
It may have something to do with players we had lined up and not on board,I don't know,but normally you have this sorted early doors.
In my opinion it's not about how good players are,but how they play/combine with each other.
For example,a attacking fullback needs a defensive minded wide man ,an attacking centre mid needs a anchor along side him,a quick forward needs a centre forward to act as a foil.
Nine goals conceded in our first three games isn't good enough,and for me we set up/defend too deep so we are making tackles/headers and the second balls are going to hurt you.
I just feel our defence are hesitant about playing a high line as they like to be goal side all the time,good players will pin you back and chances will come.
Lets be fair,Bury were poor yesterday,but we made the young centre forward from blackburn look a world beater ( MOM),as time and time again we let him receive the ball and turn in dangerous areas.
Lot of work IMHO to do on the training ground to sort the defensive shape out
