Sack the defensive coaches
« on: January 26, 2013, 07:39:37 PM »
They're obviously clueless at coaching defenders, we keep conceding nearly every game it seems from a set piece. Were can't do any worse then we are are already. They're one of the big reasons why we're so poor. It's time to move them on because it cant go on like this.

Change the coaches for a bus. Then park it.

I was thinking earlier that we should bring a specialist defensive coach in. Then I remembered what Mark Lawrenson said on the radio as I was driving back from the Bradford game. Along the lines of however much defensive preparation you put in, it is useless if the players aren't good enough to implement it. You know it's getting bad when Lawrenson starts making sense.

DANNY SHITTU has admitted Aston Villa’s defenders BEGGED him not to score another goal on Friday night.

The 6ft 3in Millwall powerhouse towered above tiny Villa to head in the equaliser from a corner in the Lions’ 2-1 FA Cup win.

Defender Shittu said: “I was surprised because their guys were really small and the player they put on me always looked really worried, so it was surprising.

“He was begging me not to get another goal.

“Villa did not look vulnerable just at the back — it was the whole team.”

Shittu was up against 5ft 10in Eric Lichaj and Matt Lowton, who is an inch taller.

And Millwall’s average height is 6ft — 3in taller than Villa’s.

The Lions star added: “We knew Villa were going to be a bit vulnerable and you could see it.

“The crowd also knew it and really got behind us and that affected them.

“We expected more because they are a Premier League side.

“They gave us time to play. Normally in the Championship you don’t get that time to bring the ball down.”

Striker Andreas Weimann revealed the depth of despair in the Villa dressing room after their week of shame.

He said: “Every time a team gets a corner against us we feel they are going to score.

“We’ve noticed ourselves that the last few games we’ve been conceding from set-pieces.”

And Millwall winger James Henry has taunted the Midlanders by telling them they must play better than they did at The Den.

He said: “Our previous game against Burnley was harder — even when we went behind we always fancied our chances.

“We knew if we could put the ball into the box we’d have half a chance of scoring.”

I think the whole situation could be an ecumenical matter.

Quotes from Shittu to be taken with a pinch of salt but I wish I didn't have to hear these lower league players tell us how sh*t we are....I've fathomed that myself!
