My point is more that i don’t think it necessarily needs addressing through recruitment

It’s about marginal gains as Webber always says.

And I agree we won’t stop conceding goals and we won’t stop conceding soft goals but if there are consistent traits that can be identified then surely you try and address them? You don’t need to sacrifice attacking ability to mark slightly differently at set pieces or have a couple of players at the top of the box when defending them.

        I fear you are likely to remain disappointed then (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Apr 30, 10:43:05
        
        Just so I am clear then, are you saying we should not look to improve this area of our (NCFC) - Jim, Apr 30, 10:57:23

- Good post (NCFC) - Old Git, Apr 30, 08:39:34
  - My only slight "concern" is that we have had these issues pretty much (NCFC) - Jim, Apr 30, 08:43:13
- re keeper (NCFC) - CWC, Apr 30, 08:29:56
  - Agree Krul impt to squad, but he does let in just a few too many from distance (n/m) (NCFC) - Saucerer, Apr 30, 08:44:17
  - Surely the extension for McGovern shows we won’t be signing a back up keeper? (NCFC) - Old Git, Apr 30, 08:38:21
    - Did we extend before being certain to go up? (NCFC) - CWC, Apr 30, 08:59:26
