Central defence is our Achilles' heel. The score and the farcical defending were identical to last season at Northwich. We are such a good side going forward that the flaw usually remains undiscovered but, against a good side or when Lady Luck intervenes against us, we get found out big time. The core of our defence currently is an 18 year-old lad however good (and he looks good for sure) who will leave us soon and a converted midfielder with a degree of pace. Unfortunately, pace is low on the list of necessary attributes for a good centre half. One who can read the game and is experienced doesn't require it. It's no good stating this I know.....all the management have to do is point to the league table at the moment. Let's hope it remains that way but I have my doubts about that.
