"It's like..."
We clearly STILL do not do any work on these at all. When you watch from every corner or ball in, our players do not mark, do not take up zones. They do not attempt to close down crosses and force opposition players into areas where we defend more strongly.
We sit off teams and let them get the ball into our box, and then they'll have one pplayer there and none of oour players will be anywhere near them. None of our players will be lined up to intercept the path of the ball. It looks like they have never actuallly worked on defending in their lives.
All this talk of us "learning" and sorting out past mistakes is absolutely empty when we just flat out refuse to work on or improve the most basic part of our game, despite it being at a level which is genuinely embarassing and costs us soft goals time after time after time.
This isn't something that requires us to sign better players. It's just the most basic parts of the game. The sort of thing it would be perfectly fair to criticise a league 2 side for being as poor as we are at.
