    Just had a look.
    We conceded about 25 in about 19 games.
    when you look, derby conceded about 30 in 20 games with shackell in defence ... Burnley conceded a similar amount.

    Here l go, agree with Hemsy, I don't think we need one, we need to improve as a defence but we have enough central defenders on the books. I think more than anything we need a striker, we can forget about Mido, he won't be ready until October if he does get into shape.

    i agree with that mate, unfortunately if our defenders started lumping upfield all the time then they will get slated for that also

    interesting that we're getting this Silva bloke on a permo too.

    I'd like us to play percentages. I'm all for good football but in the right areas!

    I also think the amount of ball the defenders see affects their concentration later in games as they are always looking for passes when it should not be their job or not at least as much as it is.

    We have the numbers in defence but are they good enough? Not IMO.

    Sometimes it's how defences play as a unit rather than the quality of the players. Whether they can learn to do that is another thing if course... Who does the defensive coaching? Maybe that's more the issue?
