Defence Sorted?

I've been thinking about Mondays defensive display against Spurs on Monday, despite the lack of a clean sheet it was a very good display. My main praise goes to Curtis Davis and Luke Young because both were immense but it was a coherent display all around.

 What does a good defence mean, well other than the obvious. Well a top notch goal keeper will earn you a fair few points or should I save you a fair few points, how many points did we drop last season through dodgy goal keeping. Brad Friedel is one of the best goal keepers in the Premiership so I think we're in good hands. 

 Then you have the two men in the centre, Curtis is fast becoming a top class centre back and was a bargain a £10m and then you have the great Dane Laursen we all know how good he is and with what looks like a class edition in Cuellar we don't have to worry about knight getting back in the side to often.

 Finally we have the brand spanking new full backs. I'll start with Shorey bought in to cover the position left by the injured Bouma, not an easy job and I personally think we have a lot more to see from the lad after a slow start but Monday was a good start. Lastly we have Luke Young, I really rate this young man and I personnally thought this was a shrewd bit of business by Mr O'Neill and we finally have a proper right back.

  So going back to my originally thought what does this upgraded defence mean, well if all works out it should mean we draw some games we would have lost last season and win some games we drew last season. I don't expect many more clean sheets beacause of how we play but we should see a few less silly goals.Another thingwe should see is a few more goals especially from the right, with a good solid defence our uys should be alot more confident about getting forward.
