As I’ve always suggested on here our defence isn’t strong enough 13:52 - Jan 10 with 8421 viewsArnieM

And now we need strikers too, so our defensive brittleness will become all too evident .

Anything I post on here is ridiculed so I thought what the hell. I’ve given up now tbh . Happy days guys ….


We have one of the best defensive records in the league. That's how far south you are.

Away from home, yes. At home, there are only 3 teams worse than us.

As has been stated, a lot of that is to do with the style we play.

We all know that McKenna is happy to play a, we will score more than you, way of football. We are going to let in goals. It doesn't make our defenders cr@p. It shows that as a side we will push forward at every opportunity. Teams are starting to work this out and some will punish us, but it is a team effort to defend and to attack. It doesn't mean our defenders can't defend. It is just a stupid post by the Op.

Well you've repeatedly suggested that Woolfenden can't defend. That's an opinion that deserves nothing other than ridicule. If we don't go up we're going to struggle to keep hold of him.


I like how the OP is whining that everyone is ridiculing him and he's giving up now, but didn't actually bother to try and defend his ludicrous point at any time.

It is interesting how Goodman's analysis has a premise that if we lose the next two we will be third. He states Southampton will win their next two without doubt. However, they didn't win their last match so why such certainty about the next two. Why the premise that Town "who haven't won in 5" will lose our next two? We have lost 1 in our last 9 league matches and haven't lost 2 consecutive matches all season.

I’m going to stick my neck out and say

1/ I think the OP maybe a she not a he but I could be wrong.
2/ Fair enough to respond to ridicule
3/ I absolutely couldn’t agree less with the OP.

At the end of the day we’re all a pretty anonymous bunch of folk and have no idea who the person is we are responding to is and if they’re having a sh!t time or not…ffs I’m saying ‘be kind’

I think it's important to understand that there is a vast difference between Royle and KM.

Under Royle it literally was about scoring one more than the opposition. Under KM you only have to see that defensively there is a very clear approach...you only have to watch the transition from in to out of possession and what we do when we don't have the ball.

What is evident is that KM believes that creating those great scoring opportunities outweigh a more defensive, sid, nick a goal approach.

Evidence to date rather proves KM right.

I think, moreover, Goodman shows he has no idea how we play or why we play the way we do. As Steve_M says below...I don't think he's ever a good word to say about us.

I agree and think KM is basically being pragmatic and using the best approach for us to win football matches. He’s bloody good at it too.

If people are having a bad time of things and maybe struggling a bit with life, then perhaps social media isn't the best place for them at the moment. Nobody has been particularly nasty or said anything harmful as such, just that the Op is very, very wrong with their analysis of our defenders.

Each to their own. I think perhaps regardless of yours or my feelings about the responses to Arnie’s post their response sounded a bit upset so I guess they saw it differently.

There’s been no crime of the century I agree.

This isn't social media ( well it is but isnt lol ). It's a fan site for all town fans to discuss all things town.
To many its an escape room. It's not on imo to tell people to stay away if they're struggling with mental health.

The OP may not be. But even if they were. They are highly welcome to the forum as are their thoughts.

Striker definitely.. maybe a central defender to keep Wolfe and burgess on their toes, .. I’d be happy with that, I think axel will be played out on the right a bit more, Clarke can cover right or left. .. 15 downvotes is a bit harsh.

We have four central defenders , all good enough for the Championship. I don’t see that we need a fifth

Well. Let’s get promoted and then think about that. The owners will be looking to spend what is needed to get promoted. If we do get in the Premiership, the budget increases exponentially so there really isn’t a priority to recruit to sign a central defender.

I’d rather go to the prem with players who have settled in, who have their feet on the ground, as opposed to players who will look to hold us to ransom, or journeymen, but I do feel that a central
Defender and a striker Will be the two Areas we will Add too, it’s just my humble opinion tho.

We can’t spend Premiership money when we are still in the championship. If we don’t get promoted FFP will kick in.

That is kind of what I’m saying, add to those areas with players who can see the prospects at the club , for a fair price, as opposed to waiting, we go up this season , and then need to reinforce, and get held to ransom, I know what I’m trying to say.😂
