The key is the right balance in all areas.

And a bloody decent goalkeeper.
How many goals have we conceded from headers this season? Every cross Stockport put in the box last night, whether from open play or set pieces, created chaos and both penalties came from repeated failures to clear the ball. Next season, we need centre halves whose top priority is a clean sheet. We also need more aggression throughout the team, but channeled in the right way.
