Whilst his signing didn't particularly worry me on it's own, it does tie in with everything else. The commentary seemed to mention and lot of "being torn apart" today... are we too slow? Hutton, Chester, Terry, Taylor, Whelan/Jedinak as your defensive 5 has very little pace. Is this a problem, or did Cardiff pass it round us today? It looked like an issue yesterday. I hope other teams didn't take notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted August 13, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2017 I hope they're all at Bodymoor Heath right now getting torn a new one by Terry whilst Bruce is sat in front of Round and Wyness getting his marching orders. One can hope! Terry has made us and him a target, but the best don't allow that to faze them, it's part and parcel of being the best. If we want to compete we should be handling second tier strikers being 'fired up' against us and Terry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted August 13, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2017 Terry hasn't been on the receiving end of any of our attacking set pieces, I think. This may also be down to extra attention. Of course, an intelligent manager would take advantage of this in some way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe also has to do with our best set piece taker being on the bench . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Conspiracy theory~~~~~~ Was Terry brought in with one eye on him being our next manager .......and did Bruce counter this by selling Baker ...meaning that should JT become manager he would still need to play as well Probably not - but I wouldn't give very long odds against Terry getting a run as caretaker manager at the very least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 He had offers from around the world. And said that he came here for the project. How must he feel when he sees the team asked to play like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I can see him retire mid season rather than continuing with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Our defence has regressed since he replaced Baker at the back. Not for one minute blaming him for our problems but I was kind of hoping for us to look even stronger at the back - not weaker! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 There is only so much a defensive unit can do when there are no outlets, no relief of pressure, no defending from the front. Just camped in. It is inevitable you will concede. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan_007 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Not sure how I feel about him spending 3 days a week recovering back at Stamford Bridge with the Chelsea players. At get that's where he lives and it's probably closer but as captain shouldn't it be all or nothing?? Be with our troops all the time. Seems a bit half hearted.

omariqy Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Our defence is too too slow. A big problem in the Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just camped in. It is inevitable you will concede. This. I actually think we defended quite well last night. It's just that every time we defended something, we just hoofed it forward and it came straight back at us. It was constant pressure, and you have to have an exceptional defence, or exceptional luck, to keep a clean sheet in those circumstances. Defence isn't the problem. A constant lack of possession and outlets is the problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Losing a solid championship partnership is now looking a bad idea. Fail to go up and this is a gamble that backfired big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattjpa Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Terry has not been responsible for one of the goals this season, i think he has more than held his own. we cannot defend for 70+ minutes every game, it will kill us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
