We seem to have reverted back to defending like we did at the start of the season

Lambert & Co managed to sort that out, it just seems to have lapsed now.

Two weeks on the training pitch can hopefully sort that out, no neccessary need to change players until January when I would hope we will sign a top drawer CB.

That said, the set up yesterday didnt provide the usual cover for the defence with Wes dropping into CM and Johnson / Crofts being the only cover for the back four. With that set up I would expect that the full backs would need to play with more discipline but for want of a better word we play with 'cavalier' full backs.

It was neccessary to give the 4-4-2 a go I think because of Holt's form, but I would be very suprised if we didnt revert back to 4-4-1-1 for Arsenal with the same team that went unchanged for so long.
