Lord_Ram Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 1) Derby - 10 2) M'boro - 11 3) Sheff Wed - 11 4) Norwich - 12 5) Charlton - 12 6 clean sheets in a row, equals club record total, without a settled defence German CB to come in january still en'all. Still need a top quality championship center half though Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/17008-best-defence-in-the-league/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Just looked at the match report from the wembley disaster for the very first time. Didnt know we battered them so much. Shows the confidence that we'll replace them that i've finally managed to man up...

Rampage Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 COYR We are where we are going to finish. Top of the pile with hopefully and increasingly likely, the least goals let in and the most scored. He said CONFIDENTLY..

-JW- Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Yeahknowasyousay that's a great record. At this stage last season bet we had conceded about double that amount.

Ambitious Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Yeahknowasyousay that's a great record. At this stage last season bet we had conceded about double that amount. We had conceded double, you're right. We had scored more though. That German CB has really helped us improve!

Bridgford Ram Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 It is weird to think that the defence that was torn a new one by Burnley at home was so similar to the players that have played such a big part this season - Grant, Keogh, Buxton, Forsyth.

The first 7 games we conceded 10 goals. The last 6 games we have conceded 0 goals. 4 of the players you mention played the first 7. But only 3 have played the last 6.

McMuffin Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Does that make me right or wrong? Don't think its weird the defence hasn't been getting pulled about as much since Buxton lost his place. Not questioning his effort but he's just too slow. Keogh's playing his best football since he was out. Looks more confident next too Whitbread. And Shotton too.

Guest Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Shotton was the only player brought in today whose inclusion can't be explained by tiredness/freshness/illness or an injury leading to it. Shotton and Keogh must be McClaren's new preferred pairing. This coupled with the goalkeeping and the fact that Christie and Forsyth have improved defensively as they were already both stellar going forward. From mac's post game comments I have a feeling Eustace and Bryson will be back in the starting lineup come Saturday. I think Shotton will hold his place though.

needles Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Has he not played Shotton specifically against athletic threat? Miller, Antonio for instance? Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/17008-best-defence-in-the-league/#findComment-719083 Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Has he not played Shotton specifically against athletic threat? Miller, Antonio for instance? Yeah, Zak gets bullied in the air. Shotton's a big strong lad. At Stoke he couldn't get a game at cb due to Shawcross and Huth so was often played out of position at rb or rm but he's really a cb. Keezy is nailed on so once Jake is fully fit it'll be a straight fight between him and Shots i reckon. Zak will be back up.

uttoxram75 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Butland and Shotton pass within a couple of hundred yards of my house every day travelling from Stoke to Derby. Time was when i'd have been on the A50 booing them as they drove past....we've moved on despite the Anti-Clough threads Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/17008-best-defence-in-the-league/#findComment-719098 Share on other sites More sharing options...
