Basic rules of defending : 1. Stop the cross 2. If you can’t stop the cross, attack the ball when it comes in. 3. If you can’t win the ball, challenge opposing players by being close enough to jump with them and at least put them off, failure to do all three usually ends in picking the ball out of your net while the goalkeeper and three centre halves look at each other saying “how did that happen†and blame each other. Captain Coady will say we’re disappointed with the goal and Nuno will say we must improve, get better, find solutions etc. Best solution ; Sign two Centre backs who can head crosses away, there must be some in Portugal.

Brilliant post ox. 2 c halves who are midfielder's is not good enough at this level. Must get 2.i also think silva needs to get some sprints in I think he's coming on but 2/ 3 times he lacked the acceleration to get away if nuno can get that into him I think he could play alongside raul. Podence is disappointing me at the moment and seems lost for confidence. vitinha is going to be hibbit Mark 2 but better. we need a good summer and keep otasowie involved cus he could also prove a few wrong. Semedo defending is worrying but was impressed with ain't noui. But waw and we'll get there.

All our problems are solved, get rid of Nuno and bring Oxley Moor Ron in.

Get him in.

Kilman might have stopped the WBA goal if he had been on the pitch. He's a good height at 6'3". Nuno hardly ever uses him.

Agree deep throat and its abit of a mystery to me. Maybe nuno feels seiss can play it out and distribute better. Nuno seemed abit iffy when asked about bolys absence last night before saying it was cv related, I hope big wily is OK and not on his way as has been rumoured.

Agree O. M. RON. 2 centre backs we have max kilman go out there and buy a 20 to 40 million pound super star quality centre back or even up to60 million.

Oxley Moor Ron, first class post :)

I actually wonder with Kilman if it's the opposite of what everyone's assuming. Maybe Nuno has already decided he's a long term investment and therefore is concentrating on maitaining the value of players more likely to be sold (Saiss and/ or Boly)? Like others I think we are going to have a big shake up this summer and if that's true these last matches are the last chance to put some of these players in the shop window? I have no inside knowledge but would explain things. I hope that's it because like others I think Max has lots more to give! ðŸ‘.

We all like a laugh especially over the last season or so but joking aside when I see Centre Backs playing in the FA Vase and in the National League who simply head crosses away from goal like there lives depend on it and wish we had a few like that, suppose they’re Centre Backs playing as Centre Backs though, not play anywhere midfielders.
