Been away for a few days and so just caught up on the RLC v others re our defence
Of course it has been decent given how little we have conceded but I tend to side with the others for 2 reasons. How many critical saves Murphy has made (and which many other keepers at this level possibly including Davies would not have made) but also we all seem to forget the opposition have hit the post/ bar 5 or 6 times now which is incredibly high after so few games plus 2 off the line so with a bit less luck that would transform our thinking. What concerns me the most is why the hell Maguire was recruited as now he isn't even considered a squad player by MM given he insists in playing Morris there who with the best will in the world simply isn't good enough. The sooner McDonald is back the better.
That said RLC and others are 100% right that our main issue is attacking and although I didn't see the highlights from Saturday yet the last 15 minutes is what I hold my hat on as by all acounts we were transformed...
