Listening to Mckenna 15:05 - Jan 23 with 3150 views | Bobsthename | Prematch interview looks like no new defender he must think we have enough and i for one will blame him if we keep conceding soft goals and fail to win the play offs because fans and pundits can see we appear to be very fragile at the back lately. |  | | |  |

Listening to Mckenna on 15:08 - Jan 23 with 2448 views | clive_baker | We can't keep throwing mud at the wall and hoping some sticks. We've got plenty of options and plenty of players good enough to get us out of this division. They need to step up and show it. |  |

Listening to Mckenna on 15:09 - Jan 23 with 2429 views | J2BLUE | I'd be more worried if he just wanted to sign a new player every time we have a problem. We have a defence more than good enough. See the conceded xG for proof. We just need tp get a grip and clearly he thinks he can do that on the training pitch. |  |

Listening to Mckenna on 15:18 - Jan 23 with 2330 views | itfcsuth | Our defensive options are very good. Whilst fragile lately, it has also shown how solid it can be (strong clean sheet return last year particularly) - we opened the season with 5 clean sheets in the first 8! Donacien, Woolfenden, Burgess, Edmundson, Keogh, & Clarke. That is more than enough, and certainly more than good enough to find some defensive form again. |  | |  |

Yep and to those happy clappers who think we have more than enough we will see my hearts say yes but my head is saying we might fail at the final hurdle. |  | |  |

We might fail of if we don't adapt and change how we play, if we aren't flexible. Plan B and C when A doesn't work. |  | |  |

Haven’t really seen any other plan but for the tippy tappy way and playing from the back is a no no when strikers and midfielders press high up the field we’ll see tomorrow should be a breeze but i doubt it’ll happen. |  | |  |

that's quite disparaging though. We don't just play tippy tappy at all (EDIT: and I would not describe our football as tippy tappy). We do encourage playing out from the back but Evans Woolfy quite often hit the wide men with a long diagonal. Also, worth noting that the current style isn't the issue.

Listening to Mckenna on 15:50 - Jan 23 with 1979 views | WeirdFishes | We signed a defender last week! The answer to everything isn’t to throw more money at it. Only 5 teams have conceded less than us and we’ve conceded less than Plymouth. |  |

Bobsthename Punctuation ain’t the game. I’m pretty happy with the squad. Does that make me a happy clapper? |  | |  |

Listening to Mckenna on 16:04 - Jan 23 with 1864 views | Guthrum | Our defence is pretty much the same (in terms of goals conceded) as it was earlier in the season when we were winning games. What has changed is the number of chances we're converting. |  |

i care i also don't think you can moan about the lack of defenders, when we've just spent a million on a defender! give him a chance to see what difference he can make before droning and moaning on typical plastic fan who wants to solve everything with money rather than coaching and getting behind the team. |  |

Listening to Mckenna on 18:14 - Jan 23 with 1548 views | FrimleyBlue | Think you've gone a bit to strong. We have signed a new fullback. But does that answer our problems at the back? We don't seem to want to use Edmundson.. Keough hasn't looked comfortable in any game he's played and Burgess is getting stick every week. So tbf you have a point. Bit strong within the OP so perhaps that's why people have gone a bit angry.. but if People are disagreeing about not getting a new cb.. I find it quite surprising as we don't seem to have a CB that the majority on here are happy with and who's available. |  |
