Our defensive problems have not been about shipping lots of goals but

more about leaking the odd one here and there mainly through poor concentration which often seemed to be combined with a bit of spectacular bad luck in front of goal at the other end. Certainly during that 10 game bad run we probably could/should have won 5 or 6 of those games based on the balance of play/chances created but we missed all of ours or met keepers in great form and then had lapses in concentration which cost us dear. I can;t really ever recall a period of us being so dominant in a run of games and yet unable to win any of them.
