Wonder when Hause has a few more behind closed door games he might go in at left back eventually.Hopefully JT improves as a coach .Don't forget some say that we can't assume JT has anything to do with our current shoddily playing defence .(I think that view is because it's been awful ! JT can only be accountable for a successful defence so can't be his remit! But it's not been totally made clear ) Good to see our ambiguous coach having a positive influence in mings signing though

Smith quoted in the local rag that he intends to play Mings at left centre back.
17 games in 4 years. Oh my god, we never learn.
Well I'll happily admit that I didn't expect an interview quite like this one. What a thoroughly level-headed chap, superb.

But it's not been totally made clear ) Good to see our ambiguous coach having a positive influence in mings signing though Literally no one has said that, a strawman argument that everyone would be praising JT if we were defending well is an utterly pointless one, the defence isn't good, so no one is giving him credit and no one is going to say they would be if the defence was good so it's a nothing point. All we know is that JT is part of the coaching team and that the team, collectively, has been unable to get the defence working in much the same way that Bruce was unable to. You can blame 2 separate groups of coaches or you can blame the recruitment policy that saw us with almost no options in defence. Now we have a couple of extra centre backs (and maybe more) we can hope to see improvements over the next 4-5 games. If that doesn't happen then it' fair to start looking at the coaching team, but collectively.
Maybe left sided centre half for a few games while Hause gets fit?
