We need some decent defenders!
You have to take players when they come available.
Whilst we have had some sh*t defenders this season it could be argued that if they hadn't been left as exposed by the gaping hole in the centre of the park then we not have seen as much of them in action.
I'd concur with that. We've all lamented Tom Kearney's injury but what he gave us (for me) was composure on the ball and taking pressure off the defence
i.e. making sure he was always tsood 5 yards away from Robbie Williams so he didn't have to pass it anywhere further than that. rather than a range of great defence splitting passes
I'd also say that it's linked to the relatively open style of play we have. Whilst our defence is still a problem, I said a couple of weeks ago that I don't think we're quite going to solve that in time this season now. LS could sign 3 good defenders tomorrow but we couldn't be guaranteed it would improve quickly enough.
For me, I think we need to keep the momentum up going forward, we've shipped goals all season but if we stop scoring them now we're snookered. If we're going to achieve anything this year we'll just have to do it the hard way.
Obviously it's something that must be addressed as a priority in the summer though.
