Keep the players away to deck from them....not interested in hearing about us needing to beat Hamilton blah blah blah

Just go out and do it

[Riodee]

Agreed

[CW 90+3 02/05/16]

Think before the game today Jules was in the press speaking about us not being good enough defensively, not enough clean sheets and letting in too many goals from crosses in to the box and set plays but we've been working on it hard at training.

The result? We let in 3 goals to the second bottom team and another corner/cross header.

We are defensively a relegation outfit.

Through personnel or organisation in your opinion?

I have twice asked if we need a defensive coach - -I think the answer is YES

Think the left back area will be a problem all season as it has been.

The other 3 of McGinn and 2 from McPake, Jules and Konrad aren't exactly world beaters but shouldn't be the second worst in the league.

Left back will benefit from left mid cover IMO.

I agree it's our weakest area but player for player it's not bottom 2 standard, therefore you have to look at why we are performing so poorly.

Can't say I'm a fan of the hackneyed pish that gets recycled with different names every now and then. I rarely read them now, the 'headline' is usually enough to give you the gist and there will be plenty on here who will flag if there's actually anything worth reading.

Through a mixture of both.

The lack of wide midfield cover gifts opportunities to get the ball in our box.

From there McPake struggle to stay on his man, Konrad can't get off the ground and Julen likes to wander and dive in. I don't rate any of the three of them.

It's a not a good combination, but if we could limit the amount of crosses, we obviously limit the amount of mistakes thereafter.

Yup, I read the headlines through the week and ignore Friday and Saturday press, as it's all utter garbage. 

Any actual news can be picked up online.

Absolutely bang on there offshore.

I am all in favour of this interaction/communication stuff between Club & Fans, as many of my posts have shown.

But this garbage which get spouted oot in the press is way beyond !!  If backed up wi some good results I could

maybe jist aboot handle it (maybe no). PH & players should spend FIVE FULL CONSECUTIVE DAYS AT DENS,

(behind locked doors) ironing out & talking through, NEW TACTICS that everyone understands ....and that might

have a chance of producing results. Once they all understand it, then spend  time that's left doing hard training !!

Would a defensive coach help if Hartley continues with his narrow formation with little to no protection for the full backs? I recall that as a player Hartley used to tear down the wings but he doesn't play someone to do that for us. Not sure what is going on inside his head at the moment (football wise).
