re: Your starter for ten.
Fully agree, Abbo!!
Funny co-incidence, over here there is a saying, "Offence for show, Defence for Dough!" While offence looks great in ice hockey with its flashy scorers and end-to-end rushes, it is the defence that wins games.
I remember when Pele was a dominate star in Brazil, every talented Brazilian lad wanted to play his position, but as that generation grew up it was found that there were few goalies and defenders of any natural talent or ability, just second raters, as the players with natural talent and any hint of genius were is a top heavy pool of goal scorers. As a result the Brazilian national ream suffered some lean years.

Quite right and now Joleon is helping Albion stay up so that we can give them a doing next season!!!
