paultheroyal That defence on Saturday was pretty much last years defence which was equally as shocking.
Needs a total shake up when players fit. Out go Baba, Holmes, Mcyintyre and the back 4 or 5 is picked from Yiadom, Sarr, Dann, Hutchison, Mbengue, Guiness Walker. Time for change.

I think dropping Mbengue has proven to be a pretty poor decision. He was excellent right up until the World Cup break and came back strong against Coventry. Ok, had a mare against Birmingham for one of the goals but what trust does it show in your players if they are axed for one (admittedly bad) error against Birmingham despite several strong performances.
I know P.Ince favours experience, but Mbengue was probably our best CB for a spell and I think he has shown more than what Sarr has got. Sarr's biggest strength should be in the air and he regularly costs us goals by getting beat in the air.

Equally Sarr was an absolute rock against Millwall, a proper standout - needs a strong run in the team and keep fit.

He was, but that's one game and played 90 minutes in 4/5 games over the festive period and was responsible for a goal conceded in each of those 4 games. He's had a long time injured and no pre-season which is understandable. I'd have hoped he may have been a bit more "solid" for an experienced defender, but I think Mbengue has out-performed him based on the games they've played at CB.

Like to see them both in the team together - height and power complimented by some pace. Decent foundations that will be.

RoyalBlue I think both Holmes and McIntyre are decent young players but they need to be playing alongside experienced and, just as importantly, very vocal team-mates. Personally I don't see any of our current experienced defenders doing enough talking and organising on the pitch. Regardless of what faults he might have (I don't think there are many), you would always see Liam Moore talking his fellow defenders, particularly the younger ones, through a game.

Royal_jimmy I think the midfield is just as to blame for our poor goals conceded record. They don't always protect the defence.
Lumley has been ok for us, but he's not made made great saves either.
