Liam Lindsay

But what he tried to do, it seemed like there was a lot of passing between the defenders.

And in Liam Lindsay and Jordan's story, they're just passing it to each other.

Sometimes it was almost a case of just get it up.

So we almost seem to the start of this season seem to be trying to pass it at the back without actually...

And they're solid operators at this level.

It's the likes of Daniel Iverson's, Liam Lindsay's, Jordan Story's who have not really started the season particularly well that he needs to be picking up as well.

So he's got a really, really hard job, does Graham Alexander, because it's hard to see Preston getting out of this funk because it is mentality.

It's confidence.

Um, you know, if you play back four with Afire and Gibson, you know, you could potentially threaten us in the air if you're going to do aerially.

Um, if we end up trying to, you know, put, put a bit more height at the back and end up playing Liam Lindsay, he's been in turgid form this season, you know, cost us on multiple occasions.

So yeah, um, I'm sure your manager will be, uh, right on it in terms of how, which style he wants to play.

Maybe if he wants to get the ball in behind, um, if we're playing with a bit more height or, uh, just go, uh, all guns blazing if we're, uh, playing Afire and Gibson, just aerial threat after aerial threat.

And, you know, when one goes up and next thing you know, they're up against a really speedy winger.

that's massive that's a massive gap left behind and you know i don't think we ever really we we we never really looked like we were planning to fill that gap we weren't flexible enough we weren't there was no identity there was no structure in place there was no commanding you like commanding presence in that back line and also The players in that back line weren't very good either, like Liam Lindsay and Jordan Storys.

He's been really, really off it.

I mean, he lost a really, really bad header to Freddie Draper for the goal yesterday as I'm recording this.
