Whilst town showed great character in coming back from 2 nil down I hope Chris Powell knows what is needed in defence. In particular the second gaol we conceded saw Jordan Rhodes left unchallenged about 3 yards out in the box. Lynch was pretty solid, Smith played out of position and Wilkinson should not have given away the corner however for me the worst defender was Hudson. He was found out for both pace and aerial ability hardly winning a header against Gestede. I realise Gestede may move on to bigger and better things but surely a new centre half has to be on the shopping list along with possibly two full backs. Hudson does not inspire confidence in his fellow defenders and has cost us some crucial goals this season.

He annoyed me when he got dispossessed by Rhodes TWICE by fannying around with the ball.
We do need a quality centre back to put some pressure on his place.
No competition at all in that dept.

Centre half always seems to be a position we struggle with. We find one decent one but never a pair

Smith was marking Rhodes & made a very attempt to head the ball. Hudson was poor, but smith was also very poor. Hudson is clearly past his best, but what's Smith's excuse! - UTT.

Hate to jump on the band wagon but yeah Hudson's the week link in our defence. Shame as I thought he'd improve us.

Quite right - Smith was at fault for both goals. With regard to Hudson - he is obviously past his peak. I thought outside the box he won a lot of headers against Gestede who then moved over to play more on Lynch's side. A shame Wilkinson headed the ball for a corner for the second - Smithies was livid with him but I guess he was just playing safe if he didn't get a call.

Personally thought gestede was kept very quiet except his goal, so much so he had to resort to elbowing lynch probably through frustration. Both poor goals but though Hudson did ok. Their front two are probably on at least 60k per week combined so I'll take that performance from the back four.

Maybe he didn't hear for all that effing noise from NSL - you hadn't thought of that had you NSL Only joking lads you created a good atmosphere today.

How much of a chance was it to kick Rhodes head off on the first half when he slid in on Hudson but he chose to kick the ball instead

Hes gone physically. Absolutely no spring in his legs at all. He didn't win a single header when he was challenged for it today either by gestede or rhodes. Not one. A centre back who can't jump and win a header isn't good enough, simple as that. Other than that he's painfully slow, looks cumbersome in possession and his distribution is just an aimless punt upfield. I prefer wallace to Hudson. Replacement centre back should be priority number 1 this summer IMO.

Hate to jump on the band wagon but yeah Hudson's the week link in our defence. Shame as I thought he'd improve us. Does anybody remember when i said exactly the same thing in September last year ,and recieved five pages of abusive comments from people on this forum. My Cardiff friends know the player well , and there description of the player was bang on. Minds begin to boggle when a town fan on radio Leeds described Hudson as the best captain the club has ever had. What worries me most is some idiot decided to give Hudson a two year contract ,and for Powell to keep including him in the starting line up is cause for concern. Powell was a quality defender in his days ,and you would have thought his specialised managerial subject would be defending.

You wasn't a victim, it was one of the most embarrassing threads in DATM history. Although Hudson hasn't been as good as a lot of us thought he would be, he hasn't been the worst defender in the last 52 years at town as you once claimed. You need to get over Hudson being a town player, your anti Hudson posts are wearing thin just like Nicks anti Smithies dross a few months ago.

He won every aerial challenge with Gestede outside the box - up to them scoring. Then I stopped looking. Later on and for a lot of the second half Gestede was more up against Lynch.

I'm not an apologist for Hudson be we didn't drop a point here through Hudson's poor defending. I think if you look closely it was really two errors from Smith. However, we were well in control of most of the game and should have won it despite the poor defending. Obviously an area we need to improve on massively next season or we will be in the same boat again.

Hudson is the weakest link in the defence ,and you need to take into consideration what the other fans are saying about the player . Don't even bother trying to claim that you knew this was coming because that's just pathetic. It was clear then and it's still clear now that you haven't got the slightest clue what you're talking about, you haven't 'called' anything. For a good chunk of the first part of the season Hudson was being hailed by many as just what we needed, then his form dipped for a good while. Over the course of this run he's had some good games and some bad games, and there's no doubt we need to sign better quality at CB, but don't even begin to kid yourself that you know better than the vast majority of posters on here, He never was and still isn't anywhere near as bad as you like to make out.
