The one player we're missing from last seasons decent defence...

[Freeman25]

Coincidence? Or does it turn out that having a keeper that looks petrified to come off his line any time a ball comes near the box doesn't give the defence much confidence?

Agree 100% Fitz must be replaced with someone who can dominate his 6yrd box.

Not claiming by any means that the defence isn't a shambles, because it obviously is, but I think the player we're really missing isn't a goalkeeper or a defender.

It's Ryan Yates. And if we take Eliott Hewitt out of midfield as well, we're totally exposed.

Their is that and also no cover in front of them. The reason we was "good" defensively last year was because we were a hard working team. This year, the attack is not interested in defending, the midfield doesn't want to get stuck in leaving a fragile defence with a not at all commanding keeper. Leads to chaos

Yes. That's as good an analysis as I've read.
