This seems to go on and on.
Look at the number of goals conceded. Same as scum.
Problem lies up front.
Our midfield is the problem
Its been the keystone cops at the back this season in about 10 games.
How many times have we known the other team would score,quite a few such ad 2-2 aberdeen.
We need goalscoring midfielders to chip in 10+ a season. That’s the main difference between us and the scum.
Compared to what? The best defences in world football? Our Xg against and goals conceded is as good as any recent title winning side. Pointing out some particular goals doesn't change that.In 2020 alone (in the space of 10 domestic games)
Kamara at Tynecastle in the league
Long ball over the top v Hamilton in the cup
Long ball down the middle v Killie
Katic at St Johnstone
Tav at Tynecastle in the cup
Goldson v Hamilton at home
Lowest in the league or not, It's happening far too regularly.
Take a look at my last post.Goldson is not consistent enough to win the Championship. Anyone who thinks he’s good needs to watch his individual errors in the Celtic, Aberdeen & Hamilton games again.
He’s my biggest worry as he seems to be Gerrard’s favourite player. I hope some Championship Club bids for him...I’d take the 3 million & run.
Do you honestly believe Goldson has improved? He’s played every week so it’s been very beneficial for him individually but I don’t see a better player than his first 6 weeks with us. That’s why I’m worried about our coaching team.Take a look at my last post.
And 3 million? FFS that would be a shafting.
ReJust because our defence have the same goals against that mob that does not mean we can have a better defence.
As stated the yahoos don’t lose as many match defining goals as we do .

That's because they score more goals and have a winning mentality.
How many games have they won in the last 5 minutes or injury time.
There were quite a few last season.
Their midfield and wide men score 10 to 15 a season that's what cost us the league we just don't score enough goals
Just look at Kents numbers or aribo etc no where near the filth.
We need morelos to produce or we struggled
His goals dryed up and we had no answers
Id agree, there is games i would like to see us sacrifice a defensive player, for an attacking penalty box striker, and go two up front. If we have someone who occupies 1 of the other teams CB (or even both) then it would free up so much space. I also think it would ease the rotation on Tav & Borna, as the drop in quality when we play the same system without them is huge.I'm not a great fan of goldson but he's not a bad defender makes the odd bad choice or has a lapse of concentration unfortunately it usually ends up costing a goal. Tav offers so much going forward but makes really basic defensive mistakes. I would like to see us try a back 3 against the weaker more defensive teams.
The defence hasn’t been good enough in these situations.These gifts wouldn't be a problem if we weren't so wasteful of chances and killed more games early.
There will always be games where you grind out a 1-0 therefore a solid defence is required.If you score 3 it doesn’t matter if you concede 1
Simply no. Look at when we have won throughout our history. By not conceding. Tavernier cannot defend well, hence he is not a defender. He is incidentally also an arrogant person without the ability. I have met hundreds of our players in the past 40 years and the only one who matches his ability v attitude was Stuart fecking Munro
I don't know if he's improved, but that's beside the point entirely.Do you honestly believe Goldson has improved? He’s played every week so it’s been very beneficial for him individually but I don’t see a better player than his first 6 weeks with us. That’s why I’m worried about our coaching team.
Going by this thread we are are still well off a winning team, some reckon we need to improve defenders, others say midfielders & most are saying we need to create & score more. It’s worrying Bears.
I agree that’s beside the point but bottom line he makes too many individual errors for my liking.I don't know if he's improved, but that's beside the point entirely.
McGregor needs to come for more cross ball from corner / free kicks to help the central defenders / he’s glued to his effin line most of the time
Hard to argue with that pointWe need goalscoring midfielders to chip in 10+ a season. That’s the main difference between us and the scum.
That alone tells you there IS a problem.We lose horrific goals, consistently.
Aberdeen away, 2 up - defensive collapse, 2 points thrown away
Kilmarnock away, 1 up, 2 awful second half goals, 3 points thrown away
Hearts away, 1 up, defensive collapse, 3 points thrown away.
That’s just off the top of my head, but the fact is that’s why we are losing leagues. We cannot defend leads, ergo, our defence is not good enough.
