Our defence has been a joke all season.

Second season in a row that our last home league game of the season has finished 4-4!

A truly stupid game.

We were absolutely awful today defensively- Kelly and some bad finishing by Sutton prevented us being absolutely slaughtered. Sutton could and should have scored 10.

Tucker, Robson, Harvie - so , so casual.

We cannot defend like this against Crawley. I have no idea what the manager does but we cannot play that defence in the play offs.

I've just found out who our defence coach is

We've conceded more goals this season than we did last. That's a serious worry. But it's probably too late to do much about it now, so suck it up and enjoy the ride. Could be a crazy couple of weeks

I'd not noticed that!
To lose would have been very very disappointing even given our play off place but, hey, it didn't happen.

Kelly was rightly livid with the goals - esp the last two. I can't recall seeing him bawling out the defenders like that ever before.

But with so many subs the whole shape of the team had gone to pot...I know, I know, that whoever comes on should in theory be able to adapt but that didn't happen and all that chopping and changing - and not putting on Lewie to shore things up - is not going to happen the the playoffs.

All credit to Sutton.

And the same can be said about last weeks match at Harrogate, they had loads of chances to score more and hit the goal frame about five times, our defence is absolutely shocking, the only good thing is we’re scoring plenty, because we have to

Yeah, the defence is a worry, regardless of how meaningless the last 2 games have been.

I was counting down the days till Tucker was back, after being impressed with him under MW until his injury, however his return has left me disappointed.

He’s very laboured on the ball and gets his pocket picked way too often. Today it happened twice in a row and eventually led to their first.

Based on his performances since coming back, I’m not sure he should be playing ahead of Norman.
