So how do you account for us having the fourth best defence in the league?
Because the success of a team's overall defense, is based upon the success of The Unit, and not dependent upon the individuals' successes. The irony, and maybe why it is the most difficult group to find true cohesion, is because The Unit's failures, are often caused by a single individual's error. That second sense that develops over time on the pitch is what compensates for that stark reality. And all too often we watch it and take it for granted.
Our guys play well together. Even better if they've got a solid gameplan.
