Written off already. Jeez.

Fact is our defence doesn't protect the goalkeeper enough. Sort the defence out and maybe our keepers will be more confident.

Don't even think that is too much of an issue. The defence did a lot to make sure it was as difficult at possible for the striker to score their second, even forcing him onto the near post shot. Keeper should 100 percent deal with that. Also, did everyone else notice that he was drinking every 20 seconds or so. Thought that was quite weird for a keeper.

Koncheskey seemed to bottle / misjudge the ball when he could / should have got rid.

I agree though, that 2nd goal was really bad. It's lucky for him that Green did what he did & took all the flack (rightly so tbf) else he woule be castigated or the 2nd goal. The more replays I saw, the worse it got.

As for him drinking, I wouldn't mind but it was Stella he was drinking. Orrible beer.

Yea that seems all the rage now don't it, all the hipsters are well into their craft beer.

Me I'm a Peroni man myself although have to confess when I'm on an all day & night session I tend to go with a weaker lager as too many Peroni's makes me forget I'm not very good at fighting.

Only have to look at how many our defense have conceded this season to see how much of an issue it is.

Losing Angella in the first half was a massive blow, I thought him and Ned were handling O'Grady well.

Nowhere, but obviously he wrote us off.

To be honest, I still feel that the issue lies with those in front of the defence. Didn't feel that Henry did a great job but until Sandro and Fer get back, we have to stick with him. Hall came on and did quite well too I thought.

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

Looking forward to seeing him play and hoping for for the best, but we could all look amazing using a YouTube showreel.

Henry has been poor all season so far.
