Our Defense As A Team

[CREDYGRECIAN]

The two centre half's are decent players - Troy is solid enough & JMT has loads of potential & Ribs is a decent right back although he's far better moving forwards than he is defensively

The left back slot has caused us problems all season - McCallister is too old and Woodman isn't good enough - sadly Tisdale hasn't addressed that all season with a Loan player even though is obvious

City's biggest problem is the central midfield - we don't have any one who breaks the play up or capable of going through someone in a 50/50 - James Dunne style

Tippy tappy central midfielders at this level isn't the answer - energy and ball winners are.

DefenCe, unless we've migrated across the pond.

My view is based on seeing only a handful of home games this season, but I do agree that we are missing a bit of violence, thuggery and intimidation in central midfield.

Most people can see it, unfortunately the man who really matters clearly can't.

We have never properly replaced The Doc.

Very true ,take a lot to replace him too ,a master .

Absolutely. The legendary Arsenal back four had Petit and Viera in front of them - that's what made them look so good...

Tilson seemed to carving out a role for himself there, but seing as he was slotting into what was a natural position for him it was imperative that he was dropped....

Very good point about Tillson ,he had some good games playing in front of the back four .

Perhaps the Red Legion could get a De-fense, De-fense, De-fense chant going against Argyle. It would be just like the NBA.

Good idea. Perhaps it will motivate our center backs

Good idea. Perhaps it will motivate our center backs

Maybe they could help out with a few assists.
