Meanwhile theres been posts to request thread titles be more specific?

They did, he was very good last season despite what some people are trying to rewrite. Our defence hasn’t been the same since Flitcroft and Futcher left, and I think Futcher was probably mostly responsible for the defensive side of things.
It is also very clear from changing room videos etc. last season that he is very close with Krystian Pearce. He may have been effected by Pearces unhappiness or the treatment of him.
Don't make my heart bleed mate.
The guy is a pro footballer, earning very good money for doing something we would all have probably sold our soul to do but he iseis just not on the same page as he was last season.
Always comes out last, maybe something he likes to do, never looks "up for it", always clutching a bottle of something or other, slow, rash in the tackle and his body language awful.
Maybe he should drop out of footballing duties and go live in Canada with some others who are finding work difficult.

Whoever it is I hope it’s a head it and kick it defender, preferably a clearance that lands right on your bonce, knock some sense into you.

im hoping for a big brick raspberries house kinda CB... Like when Ben Turner arrived. Couldn't give a toss if they don't want to play out from the back, just stop being beat to the ball from any set piece please.

Agree. I’ve mentioned Jake Wright a few times, would be a good signing. Local, leader, can defend. Just whether he fancies dropping to the bottom of League Two.
Bore off Clanger, do you actually post about football?

We've conceded 14 goals in the last 7 games and 9 have been from restarts/set pieces (3 penalties, 3 free kicks, 2 corners and one throw in). Mal Benning also scored an own goal. Graham Coughlan was bang on after the Forest Green game that we do not stop or block enough crosses coming into the area. Kellan Gordon, James Clarke, Mal Benning, CJ Hamilton and Alex MacDonald have all been guilty of this.
We also lack what Paul Hurst described on Saturday as "first header" of the ball who is also a leader. Scunthorpe have a similar problem due to injuries although they have only conceded 40 goals. Ryan Sweeney is our best header of the ball but he often switches off and loses his man. Matt Preston is brave and will stick his head in where it hurts but he does the same. Krystian Pearce did not win the first header that resulted in the first goal for Salford. He also switched off and lost his man against Newport, Exeter City, Walsall and Plymouth.
GC was a great defender for Plymouth and I trust him to sort out the defence when he gets his own players in and has more time to coach the defence. I think he was initially brought in by Bristol Rovers as a defensive coach.
