It's becoming embarrassing listening to everyone jump on the blame the defence bandwagon.
We look shaky at times and very obviously need to improve but the team as a whole is falling short. Lack of movement, too much emphasis on Tavernier's crossing, ball not being recycled quickly enough.
Fans should actually watch the games rather than just acquiece to the narrative "the defence is shit". Barton is playing true to form; a bang average nobody. Rossiter is tenacious but basic. Halliday works hard but lacks real quality. McKay and Holt are extremely clever players but need some power alongside them.
Given the fact our defence are left so exposed I actually think they do well at times to limit opposing teams to 1 goal per game.
