Tackling 14:49 - Dec 30 with 827 views | nshearman1 | I see all this talk about formations, systems, individual players but just one look at those highlights show that the entire defence and midfield seem to have no obvious understanding of the basic art of tackling. I know we're probably not supposed to mention an England player who we picked up from Cheltenham Town but Mings really understood how and where to tackle well, indeed in many cases to get the ball while clattering the man shortly afterwards. No-one in this team seems to get it, bar maybe Downes and Skuse. The team badly needs to get back to some basic skills. And then settle on our best 11 and squad of 18. | | | | |

Tackling on 15:34 - Dec 30 with 781 views | Bluefish | We picked the most lightweight midfield I've ever seen against a battling team like Lincoln. We were always going to concede many goals. I made that point before the game yesterday | |

Or in Edwards' case forces them to decide what to do with the freekick. | | | |
Tackling on 15:37 - Dec 30 with 771 views | Pinewoodblue | we certainly give away too many free kicks and pick up too many bookings of late. Norwood also get picked up for fouling too often. | |

Happened yesterday and for Pompey's goal too. Shadow boxing instead of showing real grit. | |
