[quote="Bobcrompton1896"]Thanks boys,that was my point exactly that if we concede too many goals it makes winning games too difficult and places a very unfair burden on the strikers.
Jordan Rhodes scoring record for us has been fantastic
but sometimes we have to grind results out or defend more resolutely to get results.

Champs has said "idolise Atletico Madrid"-well last season they won the Spanish La Liga finishing above Real Madrid & Barcelona,without the world class strikers like Ronaldo or Messi or Neymar or Bale and
certainly without the financial clout of either of these two giants. I very much doubt they got all the refereeing decisions either. This was over a full season not a one-off game. How? Basically by great defending and
determination(team spirit) i.e.getting a gallon out of a pint pot...great management.
Last season Burnley with a very limited and basic squad got into the Premier League with a Division 1 budget -again with organised defen
