Curtis Strong

I single him out - unfortunately for him as I stood by him shaking his head all second half!!!
But yes I agree - all crap

No but he asked the linesman the second half!

Remarkable that no one singles out Jones, who has led the backline of a defence that concedes minimum 2/3 goals every game. Darlo was very very fortunate, they missing a hatful of chances.

Ok - here we go - Jones is by nature slow and ponderous but that’s never been a problem as a central defender - look at Redmille- you dont committ and they don’t get by you and Matt was the king in that department- you actually had to own a sat-nav as a player to get round the man - neither him or Jones however were and are leaders of the line in attitude or talk

Dan you don’t at this stage of the season you do it pre-season and help me out guys AMs had 3 or 4 to do it

I'm with you 100% tfcfan1 in your assessment re Jones. Considering he's meant to be the leader/organiser and the experience of the defence yesterdays performance sums it up really,particularly the joke of a third goal. In fairness,its not just him but the worrying thing is that regardless of how the likes of he,Morley and 1 or 2 others play their place never seems under threat.My feelings on our defence are well documented. Many weeks back i highlighted that we had essentially the same back 4 Burns, Morley, Jones and Lane as last year at which time we chose to blame a poor midfield for lack of protection as being the main reason as to why we conceded so many goals last season. Fast forward to this season and despite adopting a change in formation initially, the same mistakes as last year continue to be made,individually and collectively.. Yesterday was the fourth game running where we have conceded 3 goals and the eighth time in total this season where 3 or more have been let in. How on earth can you seriously expect to challenge for promotion when that happens. The eternal optimists will point out that we are still in and around the play offs, but if they believe that we will seriously be in with a chance of going up they are deluded. Whilst i agree that we need a good striker,the priority for me is sorting out this awful defence which AM seems incapable of doing. I take no pleasure in predicting that 1 of the better teams in this league will hammer us at some point if better defenders arent somehow brought in, and even worse, that that lot down the A5 will beat us both games over the xmas period as usual which would be even harder to swallow. Prove me wrong TFC and i will happily eat humble pie
