I know plenty has been mentioned in regards to our goalkeeping coach situation but I'm curious as to why we don't have a defensive coach. Does anyone know who deals with the defensive coaching on a day to day basis?

Whoever it is must face the unpalatable fact that Clarke and Huntington are finished at this level.
 
I said a few weeks ago that we will concede more this season because our full backs are higher up the pitch, there is so much space out wide, this means the centre backs are getting dragged all over the place. Add in the fact that our goalkeeper is glued to his line and it makes for a very leaky defence.

Tactically we are reminiscent of AN’s final season at Norwich.
 
I dont understand why he persists with Rudd - beyond my knowldege of watching us for the past 50 years

I thought Earl had been substituted. Every time I peeped between my fingers he was never there.
 
We're so lightweight / inept up front that our defence is coming under a lot of continual pressure. We have missed Hugill big time since his departure....he always gave us an outlet by either winning a header, free kick or holding the ball up. We simply do not have that any longer and consequently we're conceding due to the pressure...especially without Pearson to bolster the midfield. Not sure how we're going to resolve this issue, even when we get Maguire back....as heads go down and confidence drains away, I think we're going to be in for a long old season!
