Don't get me wrong, I DO actually like Ken Paal - but only in his attacking format.
I have griped and moaned (as many will know and probably will comment) for the last two seasons and despair at his defending!
How many times are we going to see Paal beaten and a cross come in from close quarters or the goal line to the centre of the box leading to a simple tap in. Time and time again the ball goes to our right and 15 seconds later they score a goal.
(This is how sensitised to this weakness I am, I couldn't watch the match yesterday but was keeping track and asked someone who was at the ground whether any of the first two were balls played past Paal and crossed in to the centre and sure enough one was! I'm not psychic, so how did I know that this WOULD be the case? - and if I know this, other teams know this, but clearly Ken doesn't get it! 
Surely they analyse and break down who should have done what for each goal and learn from things don't they? In any job, you WILL make mistakes but the key is to learn from them and not keeping doing more of the same?
Teams playing us probably rub their hands with goal inspired glee when they see Paal on the play sheet as a defender.š¤š¤¬.
We were unlucky with the third but their second, which put us under pressure was, in my opinion, due to Paal's continued lack of awareness and reaction.
But hey, I am probably once again talking rubbish and someone will advise me as such and cite that he does an outstanding job in defence, and clears balls off the line etc. [Post edited 27 Dec 13:39]

Our left side is poor in attack without Paal, like against Bristol we just gave away the ball every time it ended up there. With no creativity on the left side it was all up to our right sideā¦Much better at home to Preston with Paal on the left able to combine with Saiko/ Chair, and Dunne on the receiving end. At our budget we struggle to get a better LB than Paal, when not ill as he apparantly was last game. Paal has been very loyal and professional since lured in by Snakeā¦ split opinions as always by fans, we even have some that wouldnāt play Chairā¦. |  | | |

We'll be recalling Larkeche from his loan next month, Shirley?
Although there remain serious questions about his defensive ability, at least he would provide cover/a different option |  |

Twas a daft idea starting the season with Paal and Fox, and don't call me Shirley ;-) | |

He's got a hamstring issue so I can't see him being able to play full matches for some time. |  | | |
