So since every aspect gets scrutinized I’m quite shocked this hasn’t been brought up yet. Really worried this extra effort defensively might just makes us a better team and help us win more pots.

Defence has been solid so far and we've been asking for him to stick with a regular pairing of CB's and he has to be fair.

I can't really argue a case for Otter at the moment, unless we're looking to improve our handsomeness of the starting 11.

Can I also shout out Fern on the the stat about us limiting teams to how many shots they've had. It's down to him more than anything imo. "His legs have gone" :lol:

We have never lost a game Laporte has started. Something like 17 wins 2 draws.

Slow thread this one. Some people don’t like improvement it seems. I’m loving it.

Always, clean sheets are so satisfying when you play attacking football.

A thought occurred to me just now at Canberra Airport while waiting for Microbeslime Bugfest 10 to recover from it's latest coma.
Miami Dolphins had a defense - (sorry, DE-fense), years back called "The Killer Bees" (Baumhower,Brophy,Brudzinski,B*,B*,. . . etc.) ; how about
naming ours "The Blue Screen of Death" ?

Mendy was shit at the back again today..got away with it against a poor southampton side but he will 100% not get away with it against good opposition.

Zinchenko deserves to be in his place on current form.

Would’ve been a club record for clean sheets had we kept one today :( :(

Ederson got bored it was that long that he had a save to make so he decided to give them a penalty, can't blame him really.

Sacrificed one for the other today, enjoyed it to be fair.
