Our collective defence 2023-24

[wolviedinho]

It’s no desire nor will to win. Very obvious that they are all working hard for the team.

Maybe complacency has crept in by accident.

Settled back for that led to greatness is not together.

Injuries and new players settling in. Departed players controlled the game a lot more.

Get the back 3 and stones on the pitch and you will see both a better defence and a more stable midfield. No luck that lad with injuries.

New players have certainly not been impervious. Good at times but also crap at times.

Mixed bag.

Big Earl could help by scoring again.

Simple answer…with the personnel we have this season, we have thrown an extra player forward, leaving us with 2 at the back…where “the back” is 35 yards from the opposition goal…and we are not the quickest defence in the League, with only Walker having pace and him only using it after he’s given the attacker a head start (to make it more fun for him?).

It was 26 in 21/22 for the whole season, it is getting worse over time.

26 was an anomaly, low to mid 30s it’ll be in 3 of the last 4 seasons including this one.

26 was an anomaly, low to mid 30s it’ll be in 3 of the last 4 seasons including this one.

It is higher when we have not won the league, 23, 27 & 26 the last 5 PL wins, and Mancini's win was in the 20s too.

30s is more likely to be 2nd.
