Irons boss eyes defensive boost

10 August 2009 12:10
The Iron were given a rude awakening by the Bluebirds, who were resounding 4-0 winners on the opening day of the season. And Adkins is looking to bolster his defence ahead of Saturday's clash with Derby at Glanford Park. He told the Scunthorpe Telegraph: "I have backed these players and given them the first opportunity at Championship level - but some of them have come up short on Saturday. "Our defensive frailties have been exposed. The defining moment was the third goal just on half-time. "It was horrendous defending. There is no room for that at any level of football."
