Defending of cross balls.

[Gambo]

Our defending of crosses, corners and free kicks into our box was shocking today, we were lucky only to be punished once. No matter who is in defence, more often than not we normally tend to rely on the opposition mucking it up rather than defending(ie getting our head to the cross ball and clearing) cross balls imo.

 

This is nothing new imo, but needs to be sorted, we can't keep relying on the opposition fcn it up.

Yeah. We really need to get this problem eradicated. At times this season we have been all over the place. It seems the players just ball watch without bothering to get at it.

I think MacDonald in goals has a lot to do with it.

I don't remember a keeper so reluctant to come off his line.
