"Dont agree at all that our defensive lines are sorted,we have at times this season leaked some stupid goals. If Taylor stayed and happened to get injured there isnt alot of cover.Depending on what happens to Hemed dont think a lot needs to be spent on attack. Can see Waine really moving to another level going forward and easily see him being a 15+ goalscorer. Again depending on what Devlin does think any larger money spent needs to be on midfield and defence. Wonder if Steinman would consider coming back."
Not sure I agree with Ballane. The goal leaking thing was dreadful, I agree, but happened largely early in the season even if it continued for a while. It looked exactly like our goal leaking during the "late Durante" period - central defence guilty of ball-watching.
However, this improved somewhat when Sail replaced Stefan, and even more so once Laws and Sutton cemented their positions in. We still had some howlers, like the first goal scored by the Tards a weekend ago, which should not have happened with an experienced defence.
Agree on the potential long-term vulnerability of Taylor, but he strikes me exactly as the player that should be given back captaincy next season and entrusted with mentoring new understudies.
