I am guessing this is not going to be very popular, but all things considered we are holding our own. Of course we are not attacking the way we would want the team to, but show me any team in the league that you could take out their three starting centre backs, leaving only one first choice centre-back in the entire squad which could? (I don't rank Holgate as 1st choice anymore). Players are not playing their normal game as they have to be keeping that extra eye behind them and that is the basis of many the mistakes and opportunities we are seeing. Do you think that player would have got passed Bartley for their non goal last night or Mowat would have made that mistake against Luton, if one of the normal defenders had been behind him? OK we still need to be scoring and some of these issues crept in before they were all out, but would they have lasted so long?
