Not only the lack of defensive options worries me... but the lack of pace too

    We look so slow at getting to players defensively....

    Hassell - has never been the quickest but he looks like he's lost half a yard over the summer
    Foster - Probably our quickest defender but still not quick
    Moore - Enough said
    Kozzie - not quick and usually that far out of postion he'd have to be Usain Bolt to get back!

    Thompson - (If he is a defender) looked on a par with Foster.

    We will be ok against teams that decided to knock it long to the strikers Moore/Foster will eat that up all day. Its the sides that play it up the wings or on the floor that will hurts us.

    Exactly. Agree 100%.
    No pace at the back and none upfront. That's our downfall.

    It's a little bit better up front though int it?

    Is Hume slow? Odejayi isn't bad for pace. Sodje has plenty apparently. Coulson... what's he like? Boggy and Macken less so.
