Congratulations Sherlock. I meant who do we have at centre back who could do a better job?

Agreed we don't have any defenders other than Christie. But attacking wise we have the best bench all season

[ccfc92]

I can't comment on individual mistakes as I'm not there but Willis is a decent centre half. We also have a right back at left back and a left back in left midfield.

Just had a look, no Willis on bench

Didn't look very well then did you? :thinking about:

What is pressley thinking with this shite back 4. This is very winnable game he has thrown away before a ball was kicked. Clarke is crap and should never play for us again. He offers nothing. Adams left wing???! Pressley has done an unbelievable job for us this season but his selections over the last 5-6 games i find a huge concern.

Webster off Willis to cb Christie rb, Adams off moussa on.

We could bring on one of Marshall, Moussa, Mcgeouch and put Blair Adams into his natural position of LB. This would allow us to put Jordan Clarke into his position of RB which would then allow us to put Willis in his natural position of centre back. (Or you could switch around Clarke to CB and Willis to RB if you wish)

Alternatively if we wish to continue to play Clarke and Adams out of position we could bring on Christie at RB and put Willis at centre back.

I would put Adams at LB.

My bad, first time I've heard him mentioned :facepalm:

We really have cocked up against the shitter teams in the league of late. Embarrassing. Defence has absolutely killed us this season. Not there today so can't comment but imo Jordan Clarke would struggle to get in a conference side. No coincidence that the goals against column has taken a battering because of this young mans lack of ability.

We always seemed to make hard work of playing struggling teams in the past, it would be great to beat that demon.

He's playing at RB today you spoon

Have a look on the pitch

 

[1966skyblue]

Christie and Willis are both better cbs than webster

I was talking about the defence specifically

 

[ccfc92]

Didn't look very well then did you? :thinking about:

See post #78 :facepalm:

 

[mark82]

Shrewsbury 1 Bristol City 1

 

[ccfc92]

He's playing at RB today you spoon

My bad everyone :wave:

In my defence, hasn't done much to be mentioned? :facepalm:

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

I would put Adams at LB.

Agreed, considering our squad is possibly at the strongest today (minus Leon of course) than any other time of the season. I find it staggering that our left hand side reads Clarke LB and Adams LM

 

[ccfc92]

I was going on the theory we wouldn't possibly play a CB at RB :guitar2:

 

[ccfc92]

Really need a goal before HT :thinking about:

 

[sw88]

Another corner wasted by us. Took it short after sending both Cb's up, concede possession very quickly, Thomas as the only one back in fairness managed to stop the attack, but still a risky tactic

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Goal Wilson

2-1

 

[ccfc92]

Crewe 2-1 down

 

[ccfc92]

Yessssssssssss

 

[sw88]

Wilson pulls one back. All his own doing and puts it in the far bottom corner

 

[ccfc92]

Look out Leon, Wilson's gonna get yaaaa......

 

[junglej13]

Is there anyone who would have even considered this first XI???! Its infuriated me. Back 4 should be adams, willis, seaborne or webster, christie. Its really starting to worry me that pressley cant get this right and is costing us games at the moment. With todays squad there is a very good team in there someone that should be murdering the colchesters of this world.

 

[James Smith]

Well done Wilson - PUSB!

 

[Nick]

Get in you beauty!

 

[mark82]

Who says Wilson can only score with Clarke. Shows just what these football experts know.

 

[mark82]

Great time to score. We can still win this.

 

[1966skyblue]

Quickest player in the league, more balls over the top to Wilson.

 

[ccfc92]

Who says Wilson can only score with Clarke. Shows just what these football experts know.

Have to say, he's gone from a fringe player to a star player for the team in 3/4 of a season

More like Clarke can only score with Wilson

Should have noticed that seaborne Webster doesn't work. I agree Adams seaborne Willis Christie.

Glad that half is over. Wilson gives us a lifeline. We deserve to be 4-0 and out of it.

Beds to change second half still and I hope Wilson who has played well his goal doesn't paper over what was a shocking half.

Moussa or Marshall or mcgeough on left wing and Adams left back and Clarke off. Please oh please.

Shooting towards sba now and need a good start with subs made as that was embarrassing.

It's just the defence every time the ball is hoofed forward it looks dangerous when it isn't at all.

The first 2 goals lads. Fuck me they walked and I'm not joking they walked them both in. Easiest goals of the season for sure.

I'm a city fan so never give up hope and 3-2 here we come.
