It's not mattered what pairing we've had in the centre of defence, we just can't defend long balls into the box. That's Walsall, Tranmere, Swindon and Bristol we've conceded goals like this. Richardson is a problem here too. Most of the goals, if not all, he has beaten to the ball at his post.
Sodje does some great "raw defending", but also makes a lot of silly mistakes. That's why, as I've said before, he's not really a Championship player. Dailly does ok, but he's not the most physical centre back around, which is probably his main weakness. Llera just a typically decent but inconsistent League One defender. Solid on his day, very worrying when have a poor game.

He is losing his marbles, gave away needless free kicks in both boxes and what the hell was he doing running into their player[/quote]
Absolutely agree. In fact, like most of our players, his main fault is that he is not very bright. Rob E had the ball well covered but Sodje simply barged into the BR player and was lucky to get away without conceding a penalty. Such stupid pushes and nudges continued throughout the game. He's stupid. As are all our players who continually hoof the ball.
Agreed, the only stonewall penalty tonight was Sodje shoving one of the yokels over when Rob had full control of the situation. How he managed to head the ball with the top of his noggin (in his assist for the winner) when he was coming at it from 10 yards back baffles me. If I did that on a Sunday I'd (correctly) expect to be bellowed at by the manager. But apparently we lost because the ref refused to give 10 minutes' injury time . Nothing to do with some of the most pathetic zonal marking I've ever seen. If anyone on here's ever done any coaching I'd appreciate a view of what our defence was up to tonight. The tallest centre back wandering around the box with nobody within 5 yards? I also noticed Solly and Richardson switching man from the bloke that had the ball when he cut back, when it made no sense to do so. I reckon Parky's had the manual out again.
for me another example of bad management,did we not concede a goal at home to them from a corner to a unmarked man.All the trouble they caused as at the vallry came from corners yet we dont friggin learn.Shite shite management.On the first corner i said to my old man watch lines who picks him up,the answer feckin no one.

If you want to do well in this division you need pace and it seems we are lacking big time.
