Les and Cornet are soooooooooo bad.

Someone really fucking boring. I'm going CB Fry 😉

He's doing the list for the penalties!

This is fucking turgid.

Our defence is

Again, piss poor defending. Can't get away from having shit at the back.

Les looks like he's won a competition to play.

Cornet is so bad. Cancel his loan, he's on £65k PW.

Yeah, agreed. I think we should play a narrow 3 of BBD, Archer and AA, and then use the full backs as the width.

BBD scored those off the wing yeah...

It's why it works so well for Man City, and probably why it would work again next season in the Championship.

The Sky coverage is more boring than the football.

Not sure I agree with that.

The issue is we don't seem to get near the ball, and when we do it deflects oddly off our players - like they're not expecting to get it.

Makes sense with the players and Manager we have.

He's been shit since leaving Burnley TBF.

We've had years of shit defending, and the only time it has been anything but shit Bednarek has not been in the team. That is not a coincidence.

These are not children - they're supposed to be Premier League players. They should be able to defend a set piece without specific set piece training. It's pathetic.

Cornet has looked rubbish so far as a Saints player as well.

I'm sorry, you can train and train as much as you like, go through tactical briefings etc but our defenders are fucking jank and are not good enough.

The revisionist history this year is fucking startling isn't it?

+ HD - 412

I'm not sure if you read earlier - I did say the £100k pw was probably overstated - oh, you must have as you replied to it? I wish we were Brentford.

Not sure what makes you think I'm a Martin fan, I think he needs to go.

Che scored 16 in 40 last season. Last time Archer was in the Championship he scored 11 in 20, and last time BBD was he scored 14 in 43, coming off the left. I think Archer is probably better, so I'd call that 6 of one... Defensively we'll have Suga to replace KWP in theory. Tactically, maybe, but then better teams in a League rarely change the way they play to stop people counteracting it. People were doing it early on last season (Sunderland, Boro etc) and people on here were commenting that tactically we'd been found out, and then we went on a long unbeaten run, so not sure that holds up particularly well either. I think we're in roughly the same position.
