Our defence is, and has been for ages, CRAP. Last season Coley signed Julian N'Da and didn't play him, he signed Mauro Almeda and didn't play him, this season he has signed Sean Webb and he won't play him, why sign these players and pay them wages when he has no intention of playing them ? Rocky and Cav are the first names on the team sheet, how many bad games must they have before they are dropped ? How many points have they cost us over the seasons ? On Saturday there was only one chant of 'dodgy keeper' from the opposition fans this happens nearly every week. Who can say that they have confidence in Dunbavin ? Last season our defence was the worst in the league, this season it is no better. We have added Roberts who has taken the place of Welch/Antwi, we have added Branch who has taken the place of Rodgers (and is just about as useless). Dunbavin is first choice keeper at the moment, yet he wasn't good enough to get in the team last season, he played second string to loan keepers. In Saturdays programme notes Coley once again said that our defence has to improve and that we are working on it in training. When will he realise that no amount of work in training is going to improve a player's ability, when will he realise that one or two of the defenders are just not good enough and never will be, when will he make the changes in defence that he has keeps threatening to do ? Probably never. We will just have to carry on watching our desperate defending. On Saturday I never saw any of the defenders talking to each other, nobody organising the defence at set pieces, they were all just roaming around like lost sheep. As I have said for years now IF WE HAD A DEFENCE WE WOULD BE DANGEROUS.
