Despite the result and the performance, I managed to grab some semi-decent shots.

well I didn't go....but Trafford seemed to have a bunch of more physical players??

Who is Trafford's boss?...he seems to have done an excellent job on what must be miniscule resources...

Question, admittidly we lost 2-0 but in general were we solid at the back? I am just wondering if we were inviting pressure on to us to work on the defense and then gave the ball away in the final 1/3 so they could come back at us and keep trafford hunting the win rather than making them dispondent and throwing in the towel?

The defence was the least of our problems. We were poor in midfield (Rodgers gave more away than Smooth Radio, and Clee is carrying an injury), while Perry and Walshaw did little to inspire confidence.

When is Clee never NOT carrying an injury?

I thought we were poor in defence, defo need another centre half

Williams not the answer to slow and to short

[Mrs Warbouys]

I don't think Williams will play at centre back

[Timperley The Best]

Who will partner havern then ? Leather ?

Havern and Leather

Williams LB

[markecky]

I thought Williams did pretty well against Accrington and Tranmere.  He didn't do well against Trafford but was in good company.

Judging by the fact that no player did anything of note against Trafford, I think the manager is probably right in that they were heavy legged from the weekend.

[AltyTunnelSteward]

I would have to say that Williams was possibly one of our better players against Trafford. He did seem to have to cover for Buzz quite a lot which might have had an adverse affect on his performance.

Have to say he doesn't look slow to me at all and he reads a game well enough that his percieved lack of height may not be such an issue as some would have us believe. Anyone remember Paul Cuddy who wasn't exactly a giant but was a very effective CB?

That being said I can see him ousting Buzz at LB if Scott moves into the middle with Luca

[JDN]

And then we have no cover at CB

[Mrs Warbouys]

Would rogers not be the centre back cover?

No get a proper defender the Rodgers can play centre half is a myth made up on this forum

Telford Supporters of my acquaintance would suggest that he is more of a Centre Back than a Midfielder
