The price of not focusing on DEFENSE

[NMH]

Jara on the bench, and that's it. Who are our defensive backups?
Greer, el-Abd (who is having a shocker), Calderon (also awful), and Painter (no better).


Our tactics are proving inept, and to start a match looking like we're only ready for the warmup

 

[NMH]

....and we haven't even bothered Green.

I'm listening to the commentator SCOFFING at our aspirations now.

Pa-thet-ic

We've only had one defender on the bench for most of the season. Quite funny how you respond to your own thread when no-one else has...

agree about the commentator 'and they thought they could get into the playoffs HAHAHA'

f***ing ****.

YOU just did. What the eff point ARE you trying to make, apart from trying to be clever when you are not?

 

[brightn'ove]

this commentator is a true ****, im sure its the same one that commentated the stains 3-0 at st marys.

must be a palace fan

'i would have called brightons defending amateurish but that would be unfair to amateurs.'

first class c*nt

The point I'm making is that people start this sort of talk when we are losing. It's not our bench that's the problem, it's what we're doing on the pitch. It's 6-0 and I'm jet-lagged and in a bad mood so sorry to wind you up!

We aren't the finished product yet and we'll be better next year. It takes time to build a team and Gus will improve the squad next year. We'll have bigger crowds too, so hopefully we can strengthen further. Today shows we need that, but the make-up of the bench today hasn't caused this.

Defense? Are we American?

 

[Dickyboy]

only consolation might stop saints going up not much but i can take something from it.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

This is one reason why I cannot understand people voting for Greer as Player of the Season.

Okay no problem, it's annoying for all of us to witness.

I hope it's end-of-season fatigue, but then Gus has been 'rotating' players up front and barely at the back, which is my point. Jara on the bench remained unused, while the players on the field proceeded to resemble a farce comedy. I think even Gus knows he wouldn't have done any better - which says that we do need to look seriously at who we have for the defensive positions.

Defense? Are we American?

We have lived almost half our life in America.
But yes, you are correct in pointing that out - and being defencive about our native language.
