It's official.....

....I kid you not, we have actually been doing defensive work in training!

According to the skipper the lads who have not been on international duty have been working on defensive duties in traning to tighten, not just at the back but overall.

“A focus has been on tightening things up defensively, not just the lads in the back four but as a team. As a unit we have to become more solid. Without the ball, we have been concentrating on defending as a team and making things harder for our opponents.''

“We acknowledge that it hasn't been the best of starts to the season but there is no doom and gloom around.''

Hard to imagine they don't do it every week. They must....surely?

So we shouldnt ship a sackload of goals then on saturday?

Or is it just me expecting an epic fail?

They're scoring an average 1.25 goals a game. We didn't score A goal against Burnely who've conceded 8 in their three games since.

So I'm concerned that the focus is on "tightening things up defensively", when we have major problems at the other end too.

You've got to be joking.
