Defence

Our previously solid defence isn't as solid recently. I think this can obviously be attributed to the lack of Butler and Wildin, as well as Nathan Thompson moving on, but is it also a consequence of trying to score more.
I hope we don't end up sacrificing our good defence and not making much progress in the goals department.
A nice 1-0 win against Burton would be ideal for reassuring me. 3 points and clean sheet is the order of the day.
Looks like we are firmly in the 10th to 15th range at the moment and that was fine with me at the start of the season.

A mixture of the two for me, the (enforced) changes in personnel, as well as playing more openly in an attempt to score more (if playing our usual style that everybody moaned was boring, Crawley absolutely wouldn't have done to us what they did second half midweek).
Five league games without a clean sheet now, our longest run of the season. Yet still on our most clean sheets ever in the EFL at this stage, which shows how incredible we were doing.
If we cannot rely on clean sheets as frequently, which may be more of a case looking further ahead, to next season and beyond, then now is where Revs needs to start finding more goals whilst we don't really have any pressure on us, and with an eye on next season (ST sales as much as league results).

I think it’s more the changes rather than us trying to play more attacking football. Freestone, Smith, Goode, Sweeney are all good enough. Are they as good as LJW, Nathan Thomson or Butler (funny how everyone slated Butler but many now wish he was back) probably not, but I don’t see any as a significant drop off.
Perhaps, the constant chopping and changing in midfield is more of a factor than anything else.

Kane Smith was my motm today, but i guess he isn't as consistant as Luther.
We would've kept another clean sheet today if it wasn't for Jordan Roberts.

Yes I’ve no issue with Smith, always does a job. I think Luther’s just got a bit more than him.

Our strikers are usually the ones doing the huge miss.
Oh, I'm with you...
