A case for the defence

[Milltown1882]

53 goals conceded in two Dyche relegation seasons.

Currently conceded 55 and we have 13 games left

....and Kompany was a fantastic defender ?
I thought all good managers build from the back?

[Vim Fuego]

Kompany looks lost. We are a mess right now

[IanMcL]

Kompany looks very alone.

[Vegas Claret]

lack of experience and leadership on the pitch, root cause.

[CoolClaret]

Embarrassingly bad.

[ElectroClaret]

There isn't one.

[bfcjg]

A suitcase, pack it and p1ss off.

[RVclaret]

40 goals of our 55 conceded have been against teams in the top 10. In our next 9 games we play just 3 teams in the top 10.

You see the thing is... you kinda have to play the top 10 every season in the PL and need to take points off some of them if you want to stay up.

The league table has proven how completely pointless that stat is.

You are so deluded. Blind to the obvious. We are crap

Yes and didn’t we hear a similar argument when we played Luton and Fulham ,and how well that turned out,smell the coffee were abysmal.

Not like you two to miss the point (hint, look at the thread title).

[Newcastleclaret93]

I didn’t miss the point at all.

I am saying how completely pointless that stat is. Basically our defence is crap but less crap against the worse teams. Well done that’s every team in the league

[ksrclaret]

The defensive coaching at our football club is inept.

I think it's you that's massively missing the point tbh, with each passing loss.

Nah.

I’m not sure that’s correct is it?

[RVclaret]

It is.

[Bordeauxclaret]

We’ve conceded 19 to the side in 10th (Chelsea) and below by my reckoning?

Top 10 includes Chelsea, in 10th.

[Bordeauxclaret]

That’s a very good point

Its hard to find a more positive poster than you RV. You have never wavered in your belief we are going in the right direction.

Wait until we play teams on our level. I remember hearing this at the beginning of the season when it was clear the set up was all wrong. What a silly post above.

[Carlos the Great]

The panel at Talk Sport baffled by Trafford in the team describing him as looking like a youth team player completely out of his depth .. that’s what most people see .. it’s worrying how VK can’t see it

[Sheedyclaret]

Starts with that 19m flop floods through the side

[Goody1975]

We finally look like we have round pegs for the round holes in the back four but there is literally no protection from the players in front of them, either by ball retention or winning the ball back/breaking up attacks.

The first goal today was a mirror image of so many goals this season.

Confidence is shot throughout the side now, the only way to correct this is to win a game or two but we look a million miles off being able to do that.
