Billy is Stark About the Defending

was obviously disgusted by the goals lost on Saturday against Clyde;

"The goal that we lost was absolutely amateurish, with the goalkeeper kicking it down the middle of the pitch and then one touch and it's in the back of your net is absolute nonsense."

"We lost the second goal because we were caught in possession and were punished for it."

Having watched the highlights this afternoon, the defence's weaknesses were clearly highlighted in the loss of the first goal. Similar to the goals lost against Caley, a long ball into the heart of the defence was not dealt with.

Surely now, this issue has to be addressed before the rot runs so deep that we are falling further from contention. An out and out, central defender with the ability to organise would hopefully help cure the problems that are leaking goals.
