Terry played in a deep lieing back four for us, and our wingers and full backs didn’t dare take chances in getting caught out upfield. The likes of Adomah and Snoddy would always be goal side of their player.
There’s pros and cons to both. When Terry was on the pitch I felt we created a lot of space between our defence and midfield, which good play makers in this league would love - so we need to be more compact. Secondly, it stifled our players getting forward sometimes and we need Targett to be an outlet not a Neil Taylor Mk2.
We debated what Terry is doing on here a while ago, but it’s the polar opposite of what he would do and yesterday if he was manager you’d have seen two teams playing defensively first trying to keep the other team out.
I don’t think Terry can have any real influence in the defence overall, he is I’m sure helping players individually but it’s hard to see that impact on a Saturday for 90 mins.
You Don't think Very has any influence at all? Then why are we paying him as a coach then? What is his purpose at the club if not to get the defence organised and drilled. When we make as many defensive errors as we do, and the setup of the defence is so poor, I would say that has everything to do with Terry. He obviously isn't doing his job very well is he?
