I'm still not convinced by it to be honest

Yes statistically we are better and we are certainly better at defending set pieces and i think Gibson is a good defender.

But in most games of late I think we've been really quite lucky to come away with a clean sheet or not having conceded more goals. We are getting away with things at the moment.
