Also this ‘defensive’ coach has watched us concede this same goal multiple times.
The wing backs who are expected to be our only outlet going forward but then have to cover the centre back, also always has to mark someone at the back post on any cross whilst the 3 CBs have the pleasure of standing near the one centre back.
The thing when you’re constantly defending deep with 11 players behind the ball, like a provincial club, is you are left with players who no longer have the personality and confidence to play 1 v 1 and are regularly happy to pass the responsibility off to someone else and sit in their ‘zone' marking space because they can.
The entire burden is placed on the attacking players and it's no surprise they are burnt out physically and mentally.
