The idea that playing Wes makes us less solid is a bit of a myth

We struggled defensively last season because that was the area we were weakest in by far. Also add in the fact that we lacked a quality CDM (and possibly still do). I really don't see why our defensive woes fall on Wes' shoulders.

Bassong comes into the team (while guiding Barnett to his best performances) and Johnson actually plays a couple of good games: we look solid. Tuner replaces Bassong (Barnett is now leaderless) and Johnson goes back to normal. Nothing to do with Hoolahan at all.

        Surely last season's team needed a little more solidity? (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Sep 29, 23:34:39
        
        Solidity in the terms of personel, yes. Not a wholesale change in tactical philosophy. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Sep 29, 23:48:14
        
        Bassong was an excellent signing, I think we had the tactics right last season (NCFC) - phrankin, Sep 29, 23:06:47
