First season he won all the dixie awards with a terrible defence so I’m afraid the defence was already bad before that. We blamed Joel, we’ve blamed Howard before that. This season and last season for me has been the defence we haven’t got a leader and that comes with pickford aswell. To say he’s the main problem is a bit of joke to be honest. Can you say Coleman has been good? No, can you say mina? No, can you Keane? No, can you say digne? No, can you say sidibe? No, holgate has improved but has he been outstanding probably not. But no, we’ll see it’s pickfords fault as he’s done a few mistakes. Like everyone does in a team. I get it’s a specialist position, but the amount of mistakes positionally and defensively that back four has done this season goes unnoticed as we as fans are to hung up on pinning the blame on one player. I’m not a fan of that. The leaders of that team are supposed to be Coleman, gylfi and digne? 2 of which are defenders who haven’t been good enough. Defenders who are meant to lead and defend? Get my point. The defence as a collective have not been good enough. It doesn’t start and stop with one person. Give your head a shake. Pickford has kept us in a few games and kept the score down on numerous occasions. I’m not gonna hammer him, can he do better? Yes certainly? Can others around him? Yes most definitely. Stop crucifying one player. It’s beggars belief it really is.
