The very fact that Nat Brown may be out injured for a while means that this will not immediately solve our defensive problems. Good luck to the guy, though!
I wish it to go on my record that NB is very much part of the problem.
NB didn't let us down last season but he mostly had a recognised partner with him. he's experienced and although not a talker he is a relaible CB, just needs the right partner.
I think the problem is further forward, defence starts as soon as you lose the ball, against the Cods we pressed high up and haven't managed to repeat that performance, sadly Nolan has no defensive attrtributes, Power has some but limited and especially when he is not in the right mood. Mendy is the holding midfielder but he needs his partners to do their share which will in turn give the back four a better chance of stopping attacks.
