Bit of help defensively please

[Calz88]

Not a moany Groany thread, I am aldershot town in 2nd season in skrill premier, I started off really well winning games, now my defence is playing very poorly all averaging 5s or less ( the rest of team match ratings 6 and above) I have more than adequate defence for this level any ideas how I can get them playing? Cheers

i would say a high line with closing down ... but due to your leauge i will say 'drop deeper' 'stand off' 'clear ball to flanks'

The other teams seemed to have found the flaws in your defense. Just change to adapt: check where the defenders are leaking and try to change, like dropping deeper, stand off, or change to aggressive tackle at the last 20 minutes of the game if you are winning.
