We seem stronger up front...are we strong enough at the back?

Just score more than the other team. Simple 😁

Its actually a major point. Steven and Tymon ought to be second and third choice. If Junior comes in as expected we still need a top notch left back. Rose looked good v Burton, but it was just Burton, two more centre backs with Connor going on loan would just about do us, oh and Onomah to sign too please. Roll on Rotherham

Don't think the defence is as big a problem as some are making out. Away from home we had a decent record. At home we lost games by the odd goal, a lot of those results would have been different if we had turned our possession into goals. Hopefully this has been addressed with a targetman and a couple of wingmen who can break the line

The left back position is probably the weakness at the moment, happy to be proved wrong and they both have a great season.

Will be interesting to see the balance now we have players up in the attacking areas that will allow us to play more on the front foot, and how that will help defensively.

We might resemble a butchers apron this season if we don't sort the CB's out but should still be fun.

The young Colchester lad, a centre half and the trialist and we are all good to go.

We need 2 CB and a LB and one of those CBs should be a beast. We are so weak in the air it's unbelievable for a back four. None of the current defenders can tackle properly. None of the current defenders can organise an offside line.

We will see Defenders in and a couple going out once he’s happy. I expect to see two centre halves and a full back. There’s a real logic to his signings to date.
He has a couple of formations he wants to play and the players he’s signing will fit in nicely.
Good riddance to some of the randomness of our signings in the past.

Hes played what 20 games in that position. How about giving him a chance. In the sea of shit we have had for the last 8 years he is the least of our worries

Don’t get the hate for Tymon tbh. I think he’s improved massively defensively and if we are playing with attacking full backs this season, which looks like the plan, he’s a sure starter. I think he can rediscover some of his best form with some more fluid attacking players around him.

How about giving him a chance. In the sea of shit we have had for the last 8 years he is the least of our worries Apart from the Burton game I must say that every time I've watched him play as a left back he has struggled with his positioning and also being skinned regularly. I'm not against giving players a fair chance to shine, but I've seen Tymon play so many times and most of the times his decisons both with and without the ball have been awful. I'm really a bit worried about his understanding of the game. As a wing back though he is better because he has decent speed and can run forever, but also in this position I question his decisions many times during a game. He can put in that occasional decent cross, but most of the time his crossing is bad too. So in other words I don't trust him, but I really really hope he will come good for us! I prefer to see him sold though and replaced by a specialist left back as that would be a safer option.
