| International break - learning how to defend 07:38 - Sep 4 with 1100 views | PatfromPoole | We need some really intensive training on the art of defending this week. However I guess we will lose the following players for the next few days:- Bazunu Bednarek Harwood-Bellis Charles Smallbone Not ideal. |  |

And no wacky positional changes, like:- - KWP at LB - Manning at CB - Charles at RB As long as I am alive, I will never work that one out….. |  |

It was the same at MK Dons. It was the same at Swansea. Everyone knew this would happen. We've conceded more goals in 5 games than any other team in the league. |  |

Agreed. RM's policy of possession football just doesn't work (unless you have the quality of Man City). It's a recipe for disaster, we were very lucky in our 4 previous matches to pick up the ten points because we look like conceding goals everytime the opposition get in our half. We had an opportunity to bring in a Manager that has proven himself at this level, RM has achieved nothing other than convincing our owners that he's the right man for the job. With the squad we've got we should be able to get automatic promotion but we will not achieve it with RM at the helm. |  | |  |

not a question of learning how to defend just play them a little deeper so the kick and rush football cant get behind them when the ball is turned over,there you go solved it,i await an approach from saints for my input |  | |  |
