Re: Outstanding defence
 
Anyone who genuinely thinks Smith is better than NKP is crackers. One is standard conference defender and the other has played regularly 2 leagues higher.

I’d have Creighton over Pearson. Pearson has time to surpass him though.

Crackers I am then. Smith is by far the better defender. As others have said. NKP was in a team that wasn't reliant on defence and not it under as much pressure. Creighton not a great footballer at all. Strong character and good in the air. I'd put Pearson on a par with him

Manny Smith's played regularly 2 leagues higher though.

Apart from Jennings who at his peak has struggled to hold down a place up front in the conference

I believe this is down to CD more than anything, I thought that when he came in to help the first time around, that the defence looked much more organised once he arrived.
It is incredible to look back and remember how shit the defence was last term. Every set piece we conceded, we all feared that we would concede and we usually did.

I'd have Speight in my team over Jennings. A front 3 of Speight, Moult and Danny Wright would cause havoc in this league.

Has Danny Wright ever played regularly in L1? I am not saying he hasn't, just a question.

NKP is better than Smith, talks and is much better with his feet. Smith makes though crowd pleasing slide tackles but NKP rarely had to make last ditch tackles like that because of what I assume was positioning and awareness.

NKP has played more Football League games (if my maths is right) at this point than Manny and was one game away from being in the Championship again last season.
