Is it just me but doesn’t our defence look well dodgy and need improving?

I think the last 8-10 years as a Derby supporter should show you that the key to us having a good defence is actually the midfield.

All good / record setting runs we've had for not conceding goals have coincided with the balance being right in the middle, with those same defences/defenders looking hapless when we didn't have a good DM in place.

Like that spell when Bielik returned under Rooney, next to Shinnie, in front of a defence made up of Wisdom, Byrne, Matt Clarke (covered by Forsyth for a couple of games) & Buchanan which only conceded 4 goals in 12 games. 

Not that they were bad defenders but Wisdom couldn't head a ball and the full backs were similarly attacking, Clarke far from fast.. that defence would have some problems if played in the way we do currently but looked almost impenetrable with the right midfield.
