Then again a Head Coach might want to delegate that area...but wouldn't Doyle have enough experience to do it?
I think Cameron, Rawlinson, Lacey, Wootton, plus an experienced keeper in Slocombe is more than a good start..
What we need then is the likes of Brindley, Chicksen to toughen up (necessary if they're going to be in 3 a lot of the time), make life as hard for the attackers as possible, never flinch and expect and accept a nut to the face as part of the job ;) I'm not sure they really embraced that part of the job last season and that has to change
Also, with Reeves and Doyle gone - we will be a taller team overall most probably.
I don't think this has to be an Achilles heel, so no need for IB to call in the cavalry before he even has his squad!
