But isn’t clear that

our entire defence riddled with the accident prone? Weren’t we top of the mistakes leading to goals chart - by miles and miles? As a unit it’s been failing. With Lungi and Andy O in there, it was just as bad. Huge gaps between players. Players unmarked. Runs not covered.

Maybe Andy is the next Rio Ferdinand, but I don’t look at any of our defence and think they must be kept at all costs. Equally, I’d be amazed if we can sell any of them for sizeable fees, precisely because of this.

(To be fair, they all might look a bit better if we had replaced Tettey with a proper f**king CDM.)

        It's how they are being asked to play. Playing out from the back suits (NCFC) - The Gaffer, May 5, 08:18:10
        
        PPlaying out from the back suits neither Hanley and especially Gibson. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, May 5, 08:19:39
        
        I think it would suit them with a competent midfield to pass to (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, May 5, 09:32:01
        
        agree. they would probs be fine in a hoofball team (n/m) (NCFC) - fal5taff, May 5, 08:27:11
        
        They were fine in a footballing Farke side with proper defensive structure (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, May 5, 09:29:09
- Defensively we have been atrocious since Hanley and Gibson were injured. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, May 5, 06:24:57
