Defending

Yes I heard that and it was not one of those records you want to be proud about..... Despite Warburton's public protestations, I would hope the club is now (at last) addressing this issue! 
One positive I would like to add though: I am impressed by the work that obviously goes on with our own set pieces. For example, the movement at corners to draw the opposition away from the lone header is clever!

Interesting piece in 'Loft for Words' this week about our goalkeepers and how many we have on our books. One sentence did stand out and that was regarding the number of saves from Dieng this year.

"No goalkeeper in the league made more than his 119 saves, though that is in part because, concerningly, we still face more shots on target than most – only Daniel Bentley at Bristol City (174) and Bartosz Bialkowski (168) at Millwall had to face more shots than Seny with 164. His save percentage of 72% is the eleventh best in the league".

What these figures dont say is how many saves were prior to January 2021 and how many were after the close of the transfer window. I suspect some of the reason he was forced to make so many saves was due to the early season defence but whatever it's good to know that we have a good pair of hands to support the defence.
