Great 3 points but my god all 4 of there goals were too soft. Button for first too were bloody dreadful, third took deflection so will let him off and 4th how he was left so free was outrageous.

That result will paper over the cracks I feel however we need to sort this out and we would be far further up that league and we were lucky we out scored more than we gifted away

Just spoken to a mate who said "great result but everytime the opposition attack you let a goal in!"  I'm delighted but he has a point maybe?

Their last goal looked well offside?

We can´t keep scoring 5 to scrape a win. We have let in 24 goals in 18 games. That is so bad.

It is, but is on a par with last season (almost).

Our defence has never looked safe in quite a while now, and if nothing is done to prevent us from conceding soft and unnecessary goals, is to change the personnel as the current players cannot be or are incapable of being coached due to Limited ability and far too many shortcomings and weaknesses.

There's something very wrong with how we defend, we are lightweight and do not defend as a unit.

I was there tonight and take away United's confidence and physical effort and they are a very ordinary team while we were as bad as anything seen before, luckily we were better going forward.

The balance is wrong, Button, Kalas and Ream don't work, I don't care how good or bad they are individually as a unit they leak goals.

Fredericks flatters to deceive, only Odoi combines steel and a football brain.

They were great against Derby.

Not sure I can completely agree with you on the Derby match.
The goal we conceded was a classic soft goal that was the combined fault of Kalas Ream and Button, all either not closing the scorer down quick enough, failing to respond and attack the ball, and a lack of tenacity in unloading the player, and do they not communicate with each other. None of them has a presence.
Even last night the goals we conceded were poor even by our own standards.
Is a clean sheet a thing of the past.
