There has been a fair bit of discussion across a range of threads about whether or not our defence can hold up in 2021. I thought that this debate was worthy of its own thread.
Some of the questions raised include:
- Do we have enough defenders who win the majority of their 1-1 contests?
- Are our KPD's able to hold their own against some of the larger and elite KPF's?
- Should the gains with playing Naughton forward be put on hold and send him back, now that Bruce is hitting form, Gardner injured, English showing promising signs up forward and JUH is hopefully close to busting the door down?
For context, below are our listed defenders (by height).
Young - 198cm
Gardner - 197
Keath - 197
Cordy - 193
Khamis -189
Williams - 187
Wood - 186
Crozier - 185
Butler - 183
Dale - 182
Scott - 180
Duryea - 179
JJ - 178
Daniel - 167
I'm interested in the views of others.
