If he wants to know how to keep clean sheets I’ll offer my advice from ten years of coaching kids football!

When the opposition start getting a foothold in the game don’t sit back and try to absorb pressure giving them even more possession in our half. Get the word onto the pitch to go at them, close them down high up the pitch and turnover possession in their half, the crowd reacts and lifts the team more giving them the added energy they lack. Time after time, season after season we’ve sat back and tried to defend with ten men behind the ball and it has NEVER worked.

Oh and I’ll say it one more time tonight, get them to be the fittest team in the league not the least fit.

I’d love to know what they do on the training pitch with regards to defensive structure. When Allardyce came in (for example but same for any defensive manager really) you could see that they were well drilled, body positions were all spot on and the shape of the team was excellent. We just look like a bag of shite at the back.

Ipswich got dicked last season, have came down & have only conceded 4 goals this season. Before today Peterborough had only faced 1 shot on target in 4 games and had beat us 3-0/Rochdale 6-0!

Sigh...
 
"tough game against a good side"...... The thing is, they weren't a good side. When we pressed and hassled them they were diabolical at the back and we should've been out of sight. Then we missed the pen, everyone's heads dropped and we just stopped doing anything.

They might have been "good" in his eyes...... but we should be better. I don't expect to win every week, but I'd like for once to be convincing or play well for 90 minutes rather than for 20-30 and scrape by for the rest against teams which in reality offer very little.
