To be fair, we started with three centre-backs and four full-backs, one of whom also plays centre-back. Plus, we had one out long-term. We've since brought in another centre-back. It's hardly paper thin for a non-OF SPl team, is it? |

I think we actually had eight defenders on the books at the end of August. Two of those already had long term injuries (Dods and Kova), one had just recovered from being out for three years (Watson) and one had spent most of his career injured (Severin). The only real surprise is that it's taken so long for the problem to be exposed. |

Sounded like a stinker of a match, still it stops the rot of recent defeats at least... Good to hear that Scott Robertson has impressed in the last couple of matches, with Gomis and Buaben? on their way at the end of the season it's important for the long term prospects of the club that he gets back to the form he showed prior to his long term injury. |

The defence was the least of my worries last night. It's really only central defence that's issue, we're fine full back, and the current pairing will do for now. Not ideal, but not terrible. Was the rest of the team that was a worry. |

Fair enough, Watson was perhaps an unwise player to rely on, but I'm fairly sure both Dods and Severin were both still playing in October. |
