Sadly we've forgotten how to defend set pieces again

and as we can't score, especially at home, there's a sense of defeatism as soon as we go a goal behind.

In fact, there was a sense of defeatism all around the ground before kick off last night. That's what happens when you've only won two home games, can't score, and can't even beat Burton or Hull.
