Tom Lockyer needs to be stripped of captaincy and quite frankly dropped, or better still binned. Too keep a clean sheet at Scunthorpe would have been impressive with your best defenders, we didn’t quite hang on but our last great away defensive performance was minus sir tom. Battled for 93 mins then today 93 seconds. Awful awful player let alone captain or defensive organiser. Steve Elliott’s little toe on his wrong foot sums Lockyer up.

Trouble is lockyer,sweeney,burn,broadbent and partington have all been mostly poor in that important position all season so just picking on lockyer dosnt sit well with me.

What’s Sweeney done wrong? People say he’s not the player he was last season, ive not seen him have a shocker this season. He was class last season and because of international breaks he seems to have been punished for it. Unlike golden boy. Sweeney needs to start, d.c (and I 100% back you) needs to sort out a leader. Peter Hartley anyone?

The guy was a threat in the opposition box, but he was also a danger in ours!

It’s sad when our best player at clearing balls out of the danger area has been Ellis Harrison. How about putting Gaffney up front & giving Ellis ago in a back 4 or 5 ?

It's all well and good, blaming the defending for everything, but our midfield give no cover whatsoever to our defence. Ollie Clarks performance yesterday was embarrassing, and I was plauditing him last year. Our defending all over the pitch is poor.

Everyone bar Ellis, Gaffney, Sercs and Bodin have been poor this season.

I still think the problem is that we lack an organiser at the back and we need tactics to change because when your centre halves are struggling the last thing you want is your full backs trying to charge up and down and leaving huge gaps which is dragging the middle two all over the place ala the first goal. The midfield is poor but mainly because it is sitting far too deep as is the team and the only pass seems to be backwards and put us in more trouble.

Peter Hartley anyone? Im sure Sweeney will start now v Blackburn, The problem is we need all 4/5 of the backline on their game for 90 + minutes and a solid keeper behind them - weve managed that this season in about 2 of 20 games !

Hasn’t the whole back 4/5 been poor all season that’s why we letting in goals for fun ? Someone needs to step up but who that the question? Very difficult when whole defence has been crap so far

Much as I agree with taking the captaincy from Locks and indeed giving him a break, the reason we almost got the draw at Scunny was not because of Locks being absent. If you were there you would know the reason was because we played 9 and sometimes 10 defenders all game. You can't imagine how exciting it was travelling 200 miles to see that. Mind you, I would have settled for it for the sake of a point. But if a team came here and played like that, the immediate reaction from our fans would rightly be, 'they got what they deserved, nothing'. Remember MK Dons?

He was brilliant against Wolves, absolutely ran the show. Unfortunately performances like that have been few and far between this season

I don't get all this TL bashing. The team has been poor lately, why Tom is being singled out I do not know.
Honestly, some right fickle fans who have already forgotten the heroics he has put in to drag us back playing a decent level of football. I lost count of how many times I heard him get abuse on Saturday. How is anyone supposed to come through a bad spell with idiots like that in their ear all the time ffs.
