Defence wins titles 10:39 - Aug 28 with 525 views | DazBoGangles | As much as we all want the Egeli-esque type signings to bolster the attack, it's defence that wins titles. Clearly we were wholly impressed by WBA's defensive might last time we were at this level - we could play Palmer, Townsend, Kipre, O'Shea and Furlong if all fit and available! That's without our best asset Davis and Greaves/Young. With everyone else, I'm sad to see Woolf go - but the options we've got across the back are good enough to win the league. Of course we can improve GK and across the board if we do return to the "Promised land" but ultimately the defence we've got is far away good enough to be the best in the league. Without a fortunate rebound off the bar and a dodgy pen, they'd already have received more praise... Get Nunez over the line and we're a ST/Wide attacker away - if that is Egeli then we're in for another special season. Get a win against Derby, then time on the training pitch through the International break ahead of a poor Sheff Utd and we could be up and running. COYB. |  | | |  |

Our defense has looked solid enough, we didn’t lose all our defensive might this summer either, we are desperate for Egeli or similar. We don’t have a good enough keeper to do what Burnley did last year either. [Post edited 28 Aug 12:46]

Whilst true. under KM in the champ promotion season we didnt look defensively sound. It didn't matter the to the goals we scored but it was a negative aspect If he can sort that top end now along with having the solid defensive set up then it bodes really well for the future.

It’s just a weird take after the start to the season and with our current needs. |  |

We've got the firepower it just lacks missing pieces. Nunez is one of them to get that ball playing around. We've got cajuste fitter. Akpom is now available and we've got maybe 2 more coming in up the top end of the pitch To have a solid defensive line is a big plus as the attacking stuff will come naturally |  |

We need players that beat people and out the ball in the box. We had a solid defense before this morning, so I’m not too worried about signing another WBA back up defender for now, ok with thw deal much more important ones left to do. |  |
