Mercian Owl Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Just realised, we have only conceded 1 league goal in the past 6 matches, that's some formidable defending, surely got to be one of the most in form defences in the league at the moment.

TheEnchanter Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Amazing considering our full backs being criticused a lot! Although I'm not saying it isn't deserved sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronio Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 The spine of the team are working wonders at the moment. Carrying on where we left off last season Westwood Lees Loovens Hutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Tom Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 They're a total unit. Never even looked seriously stretched today. That combo of Loovens and Lees like calm rocks in a river, with Hutch buzzing around shutting down any rush into the box and Westwood to get past if you somehow get through that lot. For attackers it must look like that Gauntlet round on Gladiators that they eventually took out of the show because none of the contestants ever won it.

Yes, terrific spine - Westwood, Loovens, Lees and Hutchinson - got to be the best in the division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 the way carlos sets us is designed not to concede goals and not just down to the back 4 and keeper ....hutch protects them ,bannan plays deep ,Wallace and reach do there share of tracking back with FF and fletch doing a lot of chasing up top ........its a good system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannan needs to play further forward for me. Hutch is holding midfielder and can pass. Bannan needs to be in space linking defence to attack.

It's working though. It needs the ball to be carried forward more so the Bannan further forward theory works. Looked a lot better with a bit more movement from Winall in place of Fletcher. We'd all have taken 8 from 12 including away at Newcastle I reckon. Here's hoping we get something at Brighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueblood Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Loovens coming back in and Hutch going back to midfield is the magic formula. Hutch was good at CB, but we lost that protection on the defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
