This is our best back 4 since 2012/13 by a mile.DM knows how to organise a defence. It’s really very evident.

The best defence in L1 has conceded 22 goals..We have conceded 23.

Yes he is inexperienced.Sadlier and Taylor are very good players who have not shown enough consistency. Sadlier is still young and learning and Taylor is a flair player and is not always going to come off. When he is on song he is unplayable at this level. We have not had a settled front formation due to injuries. And due to depth of the squad it has set us back.If we had a Marquis/Norwood type front man & the 11 that started tonight + Cameron John and Matty Blair.That is 14 players that would be as good as there is in this league imo.

The confidence must also be growing game by game. It's also taking a bit of pressure off the forwards thinking that one goal might be enough for a win sometimes now.

Best we've had for years
some interesting comments on this thread praising the back four as a defensive unit. That's good to hear but I read on here a couple of weeks ago that the back four were all good individual players but were struggling to work as a unit.So whats changed? As Cameron John's injury been a blessing in disguise or is Joe Wright getting sharper?
Reece James should be our first choice LB.Cameron should have to wait to get back into the team.
