Walton
Donacien Woolfy Burgess Leigh
Burns Davies
Morsey
Harness Chaplain

Basically, leave out one of our best playmakers to get another defender in. No thanks.
The op does raise a very valid concern though. Just watched the Pompey highlights and it's another woeful piece of defending against a dinky ball even I could have delivered. | |

Neither Leigh or Davis are winning that header. |  |

No need to drop anyone. Just return to a back three of JD (or Fridge), Woolf and Burgess. Use Burns and Davis as wing backs. Three central defenders gave us the the clean sheets we were achieving when KM took over. |  |

admittedly it Weakens central midfield, but strengthens defence and with Burns and Davies hugging the wings it gives Chaplain and Harness the channels and central midfield to operate in with Morsy backing them up. | | | |

Off the ball aren't we still basically playing 3 at the back? |  |

While making us more solid it does limit us a bit going forward. Our chance creation is much better this season having moved to a back 4 and while we have some vulnerabilities we still best in the league from Open Play at restricting shots, keeping xG down and have the fewest number of Open Play goals conceded. |  |

That is an option and maybe look at how we set up for corners/free kicks, always been an advocate of having players on the goal lines at near and far post and then look to man mark. | | | |

Town are one of a few clubs with the least amount of goal conceded via set pieces ( saw on twitter)
Again, for some reason despite KM talking about it everytime.. posters are ignoring the simple reasons we concede some of these goals with balls into the box is because we've lacked concentration and stopped the crosses being made in the first place.
Chaplin puts pressure on the pompy lad, the cross might not accurately reach the 6 ft player at the far post, who quite frankily would have beaten any other town player to the ball in that situation as the cross was perfect... put pressure on the crosser, make it an awkward cross to make and the chance might not have happened. | |

Yes, that's the perfect scenario, but we cant rely on that every game, as has been proved on more than one occasion this season. | | | |

It's not a perfect scenario it's an obvious weakness that players should be able to fix, there's no reason why Chaplin didnt close him down, only he knows why he didn't
When the defence itself has coped with corners, freekicks, throws etc all game... it shows there isn't a problem dealing with balls into the box | |

That goal was down to 3 or 4 reasons...Gave away a silly free kick , weren't organised to defend it, player gets out jumped by a 6foot 5 giant, and we were asleep on the knock down. Winning the second ball, and marking the eventual scorer are, imo, more of an error, than losing a far post header. All these things can be addressed on the training pitch for me..... Evans and Davis in their current rolls will stroll into any team in this division. I don't think it's a case of changing anything, formation wise. More a case of being alert, staying concentrated..There seems to be a slight lack of communication, looking at the Wycombe goal and Pompeys second.. Someone in there, either Walton or a defender, needs to start commanding and barking orders. It's as if, at times, they are all leaving it for a team mate to deal with.Noone being decisive enough. |  | | |

Why would we change shape and leave out Evans? Teams are going to attack us in the air because they know they can't outplay us on the deck. I thought it was quite a clever free kick, fair play to them for that. What made me cross was Burns giving away a needless foul when it was obvious that was their only way to threaten us. |  | | |
