A Rapid Rise Would Not Surprise.

[Lods]

There isnt a game plan yet and IMO our defense is dodgy in the key spots......dont see Jones and Weitering holding up vs the teams that have real deal KP forwards....
Mcgovern, Charlie and Harry will need to kick a lot of goals for us to win because down the other end its going to be carnage.....

I think the defensive side of things comes back to the mid-field pressure I talked about in the OP.
It's not the only factor....but if the mids are getting dominated and the ball is coming in quickly and often that's when players like Jones and Weitering will get caught out.
If Jones drifts away from his man and there's a turnover midfield....or he backs his judgement and attacks the ball while a group of opposition midfielders are waltzing through ours... then we're in strife.
