And there is the indisputable fact that we don't have a Left Back - please don't volunteer ATS.And is there's nothing wrong with our defence, how come we almost alway concede first, and usually from the first opposition foray into our box?Having said all of that, I'm not sure it's personnel so much as the coaching or tactics. Fergie has always been an attack minded manager, relying on scoring goal more than clean sheets.He should think about getting a top notch defensive coach rather than spending money on more defenders.

It's always the case that defences, rather than attacks, come under pressure in the league above. If we stand still Hound, we will concede more next season than this. And we don't look all that convincing this do we?BobG
You're very good at avoiding the substance of a debate aren't you Hound?! What the hell has the opinion of supporters of other clubs got to do with what our club does over the summer? BobG
Oh Lord. Twice in a minute we've gifted Blackpool chances..... Bob
Never mind a defensive coach. Get a top drawer psychologist in. Strengthen their minds and get them believing no one can beat them. I didn't believe in sports psychology until my 30s and now I work with one, it's changed my life and could do with the players. Copps has bought into it and it's extending his career, it's improved his decision making and made him a better player.
Whatever happened to IC1967?Did he grow up or just morph into someone else?
