Last one was Boxing Day against Wednesday, 12 games ago. Going to have to sort the defence out if we’re going to have any chance of promotion.
It is ValentinesNot many clean sheets on this forum m8.
Doesn’t seem to worry Klopp or Pep , play to your strengthsLast one was Boxing Day against Wednesday, 12 games ago. Going to have to sort the defence out if we’re going to have any chance of promotion.
Reminds me of a headline I saw years ago " Wayne Wanklins Staines keep clean sheet ".It is Valentines
Brilliant

Last season we got to the play offs because of a very good defence regularly keeping clean sheets.
This season we are aren't keeping clean sheets but we are scoring loads. Since our last clean sheet I think we've scored 2 in all but one game?
It will settle down and tighten up again once Thomas & Kitching get back in their flow.
No need to stress.

I mean we clearly are making too many mistakes in terms of the back 4 and holding midfielders. So that’s very simplistic.On the plus side, we've scored as many goals this season so far as we did in the whole of last season (excluding the play-offs). You can't have it both ways.

Also we have scored in every game since Stoke at Home.Last season we got to the play offs because of a very good defence regularly keeping clean sheets.

Is this really a problem? Only 5 teams have conceded less in that time we’ve taken 18 out of 27 pointsLast one was Boxing Day against Wednesday, 12 games ago. Going to have to sort the defence out if we’re going to have any chance of promotion.
Our next clean sheet will probably be once Sheaf returns to play a full 90 mins for us. Our midfield regularly gets overrun in games these days and players like COH, Saka and MVE look jaded. Also we cannot afford to gift other teams goals. We really need to sign several more good players this summer to beef up our squad.
I agree, his positional play in the past couple of games hasn’t been great, and has put us under pressure. Both Millwall and Plymouth looked dangerous down our right flank. Not just about MVE though (who is a good player, perhaps jaded) in the last two games, teams have broken through our midfield so easily, perhaps time for Kelly to come in to provide protection in front of the back four? That was a rash challenge of Thomas’s last night which led to a goal, he’s young and hopefully will learn from mistakes like that. Stoke will be tough on Saturday, considering the tough game at Plymouth and the short recovery time/long journey times. A draw again may be a decent result.MVE has looked poor the last couple of games, mostly just because I think he needs a rest, but everything came down our right last night.
