I think one or both of Wright and Maguire need to be dropped and Mukena and Ransom given another go. They don’t do the basics of the game well enough for me.

Agreed, as defenders in a 3 man defence, they are often too far forward too. At least Mukena and Ransom defend, but I am not sure Ransom is fit. Another option would to put Williams in defence as centre back and move Conroy to whatever side he suits. Weight is better in midfield.
Looking at the highlights, the defending for both the second and third goal were terrible mistakes. In both cases, they had time to make a better choice.

we need to go back to basics 4-4-2 & change is essential at the back

SL's Obsession with Mcguire may cost us the Play-Offs. Ive been saying all year he is too inconsistent. It is not a coincedence Chesterfield are better without him and we are worse with him. We average 1.77 goals every time he has started for us. Yes he has the odd good game, but far more bad games.
What gets me is we averaged less than a goal a game when Mukena started and he was replaced by McGuire. We all know we get more points per game when Ransom & Jerry Kelly start matches. Start sticking to the stats & facts SL before its too late.

Ransom is still injured. But I agree Mukena should be starting. He looks good. Why SL persists with the same 3 CBs match after match I don't understand. As a back three they aren't good enough or reliable enough. SL is happy to continually change the wing backs, but resistant to changing the CBs unless one is injured.
No idea what's going on with Omole or Olagunju, is it? Give them a go, they can't do any worse. And i still think Gordon and Tsaroulla should be starting every game for us. They attack well, they have experience at this level..... they're good. SL is wasting their ability. Forster has done ok recently, but shouldn't be keeping Tsaroulla out of the side. He and Darcy ate better as impact players off the bench, when we are chasing the game and need to change things, a situation that happens often but SL seems oblivious to at times.
If SL hasn't sorted out the weaknesses in defence by now, it's not going to happen. If we do get promoted this season, our current defence will be torn to pieces in L1. We need at least 3 new defenders, bigger, better, more experienced - whichever division we are playing in next season.
Scrap the cheap tickets its just wasteful and far too cheap. Its obvious many arent really interested. As for what happened on the pitch Wright, Macquire and Conroy are not good enough. Ransom no better. SL needs a plan B and fast. If Barrow park the bus we are doomed. We cant break teams down. Tuesday is a cup final. We cannot fail to win.

Plan A seems to be play the same three at the back, and if it does not work, plan B is to ask the same 3 to play better.
