I don't think the defenders are crap as individual players. The problem seems to me to be a lack of effective coaching to make them a cohesive and organised unit. Let's not forget that we have had defenders in the league's "Team of the Week". Too many goals have been given away because of uncertainty about who should be tackling and who should be covering.

We've had 3 promotions with a crap defence. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Of course it's broke, and it needs fixing quick. We have conceded the most goals in League One and Two and you don't think it needs fixing. We have scored three goals in each of our last two games (both at home) and not won either game because we have conceded seven goals - and you think that the defence doesn't need fixing. We have had two clean sheets in twenty one league games and you think the defence is ok and doesn't need fixing. Wake up and get real, if we carry on defending like this it will be a long downward slide.

I agree; we shouldn't be conceding so many goals. I disagreed with your comment of "He should have been searching the market for the last few years as our defence has been crap for ages", which of course is rubbish. :)

I disagree that the whole problem is the defence. Since Craney left there is a huge gap in midfield - which Proccy or Harris can't fill - so that's where a lot of the goals come from.

Usually enjoy your posts Haggis, but not a big fan of the fat arsed Morecambe dilettante. Plus it would ruin Christie's Child's Christmas (try saying that when you're drunk), he's my best mate :rolleyes: .

It said on the radio this afternoon that Twiss wasn't interested and Morcombe would be signing him for the long term?
 
You cant just blame the defence for conceeding goals. The defense starts with the strikers. If they didnt give the ball away then there would be less 'defensive work' for the midfields and so on. Losing Gary Roberts and Ian has had a big effect and i think we need to find a midfielder and a new striker. We only have Paul and Andy who are fit to play (up front) at the moment.
