We're the second worst team in the Championship for conceding goals, and the only team in the Football League without ever registered a clean sheet. It is no use scoring if we keep conceding so many 'stupid' goals. Eventually, it will effect the players confidence and we will end up at wrong end of the table. I put our problem on the system we play. I know it is MW philosophy to play from the back. It's the modern way to play football. However, you need the right players to play. They need to be fast to recover, can play and dribble with the ball, be calm and concentrated and move around to open spaces. I am sorry to say that most of our defenders are nowhere near these credentials. We keep conceding two goals per game sums up these facts.
We must adopt a different way to defend. Last season, although the football played was much worse then we're producing now, however, we managed 14 clean sheets! Every winning team must first ensure not to concede goals and then score the goals required. Both our keepers cannot play the ball the way good keepers do and there is that habit that someone will make that fatal mistake. Every time I watch the R's playing, I am always afraid of someone doing a blunder. I always end the game so frustrated.
