...I truly worry about how many goals were shipping though. A leaky defence does not make for comfortable survival! We really need to get a couple of clean sheets, for the confidence of the defence. |  | | |  |

The manager has said we are going out there to out score teams, we can play more defensively and concede less goals and score less goals - the balance is always difficult to strike but 11 points from 9 games shows we are getting it right at the moment
Sides are giving away a lot worse goals than we are |  |

And Woolfenden was probably the most disliked player/boo boy target out of our promotion squad, which helped his replacement get an easier ride. Now he's being exposed and not just today. He's been at fault for bad basic decision making in practically every game this season. [Post edited 1 Nov 5:00]

But was he?
He was liked enough to be thought of by many that sang happily enough that McKenna knew exactly what we need, and stated that was Woolfy at the back... |  |

It's the amount we're conceding though Joe. We're currently tracking for 76 goals against for the season. Going back through the last 10 prem seasons I can only see one team that has managed to survive letting in that many goals, which was Leeds in 21/22. The odds will not be in our favour if we carry on conceding at this rate.
I raised the OP as it's a concerning habit. GON might say it's his plan to outscore the opposition by playing open forward thinking football, but it's a dangerous game. Personally, I think it's silly not to be slightest bit concerned, even if just a niggling concern, as I have. | | | |
