Defensive Crisis

[debram]

I fully expect to see defensive recruitment in Jan.

So the Mariappa link was poo then was it?

No but we didn't sign him, there were 100's if not more out of contract defenders in the summer and we signed none, instead going with 3 players with injury issues, a kid from Everton with injury issues and no preseason, then the one lad we had in the youth set up who was making progress, we send him out on loan to sit on Notts County's bench.

 

If DM had this 3 at the back formation planned why did we not have a few more centre backs and a few less wingers sat on the bench.

 

Andre Wisdom, at Derby last season good age, experience of championship for many years and a free agent. When you factor in the money we wasted on Gibson, he would have been a great signing he still could be but instead of going for a bloke who is 28, We go for a bloke  who 35.

 

We got 4 clean sheet out of 4 at the start of the season, since DM, started playing with different players and we lose hutch and Iorfa together at the back we have managed 2 clean sheets in our last 15, so to win the game we need to score at least 2 goals every game.
