I don't believe we need another CB. We have the players we need, now we need to work on cutting down the personal mistakes that lead to stupid goals against.
We've kept what, 2 or 3 clean sheets all season? Normally that is of course tremendously bad. But the underlying numbers are a bit...weird, more like an anomaly that will even out than a trend that is likely to continue.
No time to put the advanced stats in here, but as a general trend, we are conceding more than expected, and scoring less than expected.
The kicker here is our amazing tendency to allow 1 goal most games. And it is in face, most games. 12 (TWELVE) matches this year we have conceded 1 goal against. Some of those goals are so avoidable they can write a novel about it. Evertons goal this Sunday to mention one.
Despite our lack of clean sheets, we're still 6th in GA. Which isn't all that awesome, but miles better than last season still. A lot of that can be attribute to AWB and the lockdown of our right flank. There's reason to be optimistic, although 17 games into the season one hopes for more clean sheets than the ones we have.
