From one of the most solid defences to one of the worst. Excellent. Amazing how its not evident to such an experienced manager. Going to be a long afternoon for sure. 

Our defensive solidarity last season is a bit of a myth- it wasnt exactly standout, conceded 3 more than Wolves and Cardiff, 4 less than Fulham and Boro.

Having a cb partnership of Terry and Chester was always going to be good as they were/are top players at this level.

Still plenty of games where we got done systematically (Cardiff, Wolves, Fulham away for example), or looked disorganised (QPR home, Norwich away etc), and we conceded our fair share of weak goals.

And now today sounds as though its following the same pattern.

Anyone would think that having failed to keep a clean sheet against any team other than one that is 3rd favourite to be relegated into non-league football would have highlighted that we needed to strengthen the defence.  How many defenders did we sign exactly?  Still we were undefeated and I suspect that the players were just not good enough today...
