South Coast RoyalSnowflake RoyalSouth Coast Royal A bit harsh to blame Drinkwater for the goal-there were still opportunities to defend the break but this team just cannot defend and we subsequently got away with what could well have been a bigger defeat with some poor finishing (their problem all season) by WBA..

Are you kidding? His error made it a 3 v 2 running at slow defenders who don't like being run at. All because he wanted to oxf*rd about under pressure deep in our half with half our defenders ahead of him.
No I'm not kidding.
Yes, he lost possession about 10 yards inside our half, not "deep in our half".
There was plenty of time to still defend-unfortunately it was deja vu as we have seen so many goals like that scored against us this season.
At our level 3v2 does not always guarantee a goal, apart from Reading of course.
The whole defence of our side needs an overhaul and that includes the defensive duties of the midfield and attackers in what is meant to be a team game.
This season the attacker has been isolated as have the back 4 with our midfielders just not doing enough.
All you can do defending a 3 v 2 break is try to stay goal side and hope they make a mistake. They didn't.
It may not have been far inside our half, but there were only two deeper players. He oxf*rd it, and he should be blaming himself. He's done it time and again.
