What makeshift defence? Don't we have everybody available?
Why apart from Leeds and Arsenal no team have conceded fewer?

Won't Vesta be back? With the emergance at long last of CC, and Doyle getting his match legs back, it is difficult to see who gives way
unless thre is a tactical switch somewhere. In any event there is no sign of any real weakness in defence..
I am more bothered about our recent tendancy to fail to get a second goal to put us with some clear water.
Last night we seemed to lose control straight after our early goal and allowed Sunderland to play a bit.
The way to avoid these long minutes of uncertaity at the back is to score that second goal!
Enzo talks of 'collective tiredness' but is it more the lack of a killer punch when opponents are forced to chase the game?
Out early season confidence seems to have been replaced with a brittleness which opponents sense.

They dropped points in the previous two games an all. Does that mean they’ll be REALLY up for it, or they aren’t actually very good?
I’d bring Vestergard in for Scale and Feathers.

Pereira is out isn’t he which means Choudhury will play.
Hull drew at Preston, WBA and against Birmingham in the last 3 games. They’re hardly on fire.

The Earl de Grey was my port of call in the early 80s
It’s because they don’t play in blue obviously

They defended pretty resolutely at our place once they had taken the lead with their deflected goal.
Given we have a mean defence, we’ve conceded a high percentage of deflected goals this season.

My theory on that is that faes stands too far away and then makes himself 'big' with that sideways stance he does.
If he went towards the attacker a couple of steps then any deflection is more likely to take the ball miles away from goal, rather than the feather edge we've seen so many times.
