Have we been sussed?


Teams have pressed us many times this season and we've had answers. The last two games we've lacked the sharpness to break the press and Roefs has looked very rusty after his injury. The players will learn and we'll be ok.
Last night and at the Villa game it looked like Sunderland’s tank was empty, we didn’t have an answer for their tactics except for repeating the same thing that lead to us conceding a goal. There was a half hearted tactical change after that huddle which… lead to another goal going in
 
The 3 behind / alongside Brobbey ( Le Fee, Rigg, Diarra ) is where our problems are .. Just not good enough at all

Le Fee should be central - and we should have 2 out wide capable of offering a threat to the opposition fullback.

Injuries for most of the season (Traore , Angulo, Mundle ) have really held us back IMHO
 
Hume out - Reinildo in. Rigg out - Talbi in. Diarra out and as far away from team as possible - Geertruda in until the end of season.
 
9 goals in two games by teams pressing our defence. Worrying.
Most sides have pressed the defence. It is worrying but we have handled it pretty well previously. It’s probably a blessing that we’ve clustered all our biggest cock ups together. Hopefully back to our more usual selves next match.
