Whilst we all know where our problems lie - Just thought its worth celebrating what an outstanding defensive achievement it has been so far this season.

I reckon this is the strongest back 4 we've had since coming down to this level and gives us an outstanding platform to build from

Obeng , Beast , Nkp and Ashton Quartet beats them as a quartet i think

Obeng- Pearson-Smith- Ashton

Would be the dream back four

Only one second half goal conceded all season is pretty astonishing too. And that was a last minute screamer that would've ended up in the Kop 9 times out of 10. Says a lot about our fitness levels too, both mentally and physically sound.

Clean sheets are not as satisfying as scoring goals. We would get higher attendances if it was the other way round and hence more revenue.

Maxwell

Those 4 at the back

Keates, Harris , Fowler

Wright, Moult, Jennings

That’s a title winning team

Pearson is a much better centre half than Creighton.

Agree with your point of view however whilst we keep clean sheets we are picking up points and winning games by the odd goal hence why we are currently 3rd in the table.
From an entertainment prospective it's not great to watch but I am prepared to put up with it, given time we can hopefully improve in other areas.
Was watching Liverpool against Spurs yesterday I bet most Liverpool fans would prefer to have a decent keeper and solid defenders and win 1-0 ,than have decent forwards and
get thrashed the way they did!!!

507 mins since last league away goal conceded - (Maidstone August 19) also warrants a mention.
