The back four has been woeful all season - regardless of who's been playing

Either all of our defenders are making the same basic errors as each other - not marking properly, not defending set pieces properly, getting on the wrong side of the striker etc etc etc - or whatever "system" we are playing is patently not working.

Fans often seem to blame the players - Turner's s**t, Bassong's a donkey, Klose isn't all that, Bennett isn't sure which foot is which, Olsson can't play, Pinto has no positional sense, Martin's rubbish, Whitts is hopeless - but in truth there are some good defenders at least on paper in our squad and at least for champs level football. The problem is so clearly in the organisation and coaching. I just can't fathom how the hierarchy at the club can't see what we're all seeing week in week out.
