A question for anyone who went on Saturday and also one of Jim's "concerns"

Morning All.

Firstly a quick question for anyone who went on Saturday. After we got the goal it felt like they were all over us. Did we sit back or did they push us back because it sounded like we'd been playing a bit better prior to the goal and then we just stopped, dropped deep and let them come at us. Although I know we had ten men which has to be taken into account do those that were there think sitting back was a deliberate tactic? Regardless of tactics we seem to struggle more to stop the opposition creating clear cut chances when Tettey doesn't play.

Secondly one of my famed concerns. Admittedly in terms of Saturday I am basing this solely on the highlights but is anyone else a bit concerned at the way the defence seems to have regressed over the last few games? We gifted Shef Weds a couple of first half chances, Bolton had several moves where they got in behind us and had men unmarked in the box, we were a shambles against Boro for 20 minutes and looking at Rotherham's chances on Saturday there were several where they got in behind our full backs and had men in far too much space in our area when crosses came in. Does anyone else feel that standards have slipped of late in this regard? I'm hoping its just a concentration thing with players getting a little over confident and the occasion of the playoffs will focus their minds again?
