Just watched the Swindon highlights - if you run down the middle we had two central defenders miles apart covering wing backs that were not back. It was so easy. I guess the midfield should be covering those central runs? We need to sort this system or else we will ship a lot of goals.

On the plus side - our goals were all well taken!

Think with the last signing there's no need to defend. Four up front

I saw the same against Bolton. I think we will just have to score quicker than we let them in.

We always defend a lot better when Greer plays so that could be why we struggled at the back yesterday.

Well the best performing defender so far this season wasn't playing last night, so perhaps you could just put it down to that.

I'd assume Greer would be back in on Saturday, hopefully with the also excellent Dunk. No reflection on Hughes, who hasn't done a lot wrong so far, but I do want to see Dunk get a real go and continue to improve.

It did seem they were able to run right through the middle from the half way line to our area with ease. Kasim was immense though.

But that is where Holla will be for most games. So no need to panic.
