You are spot on, the defence is and has been poor for several years. The individual players are ok as championship defenders. Collectively they are all over the place, terrible positionally, can’t stop a cross, can’t mark anyone consistently - which is unforgivable in the championship. Either they are not being coached properly, they are but they don’t listen, or the lack of on pitch organisation isn’t there and it’s every man for himself. We are crying out for a wise head in central defence to sort them out and organise them during the game. Should we go up this season, every single one of our defenders who played today would need replacing in the prem. THB is the only one who maybe could be coached to a better standard. In fact of the starting side today IMO, Jander, Scienza, Azaz and possibly THB are the only ones who would be good enough in the Prem. Add Fellows to that who was injured and the extent of the required rebuild is clear. Fast, strong, fit as butchers dogs players are required. We don’t have many of those currently.

well if we don’t go up, leaving it until next season on reduced parachute payments certainly won’t do us any favours….

Not his fault that Nathan Wood completely fucked it up.

Nathan Wood, step up and receive your completely shit defending award.

Nice Saints. Absolutely wank defending. Excellent 😖

From nowhere, a Manning goal…dodgy keeper moment!

So we get tired, but the opposition get more energetic second half 🤔 These are professional athletes - however tired we are, at least 6 of them have to play the full 90, weirdly, same for the opponents… Every game our second half performance is quite frankly crap. That isn’t acceptable or understandable by any metric. Either we aren’t fit enough, or our tactics aren’t right. Yes a win feels good after the last 16 months, but we need to be so much better second half. Whatever the question is, Joe Aribo is proving he is just not the answer either…

Been coming. Crap game management Tonda.

Why oh why do we do this every game? Brilliant first half, make subs and we give the opposition the advantage. Really wank game management again.

Have to say today, we look so dangerous. Fair play to you Tonda 👍

Anyone who doubts Adam Armstrong at this level 🙄🤣🤣🤣 he’s on for another ~25 goals this season

Leo you legend 🥇

Baggies have a terrible away record. We have hit good form - 4-0 Saints 🤞 Assume we won’t need to water the pitch tonight 😁😁

Looking forward to this - Scienza back is a huge bonus for us. A lot will depend on how Birmingham set up. We don’t like teams that play deep with the bus behind the ball, also didn’t enjoy Millwall’s quick press and suffocating midfield. It’ll be intriguing to see how we adapt and change as the games progresses. Good luck Tonda in your first official game as boss. My prediction - a tight scrappy 1-1 draw.

Name a manager who has never been sacked!!
