Hell even under SBR our most regular starting centre backs were what Dabizas, Bramble and O'Brien?
And the Caldwell brothers. Our defence individually was horrific under Bobby but as a unit they did ok.
Difference is Best did most of the leg work and link up with Ba whilst Ba concentrated on scoring the goals. Now we have two strikers in the same mould which makes 4-4-2 really awkward as they don't work for each other.
I remember when we beat Arsenal 1-0 in our first season back. Every time they got a corner it was pressure off. We're now that team. Funny how we used to be so good at them under Hughton.
The way things have turned out for us recently I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to be a wonder kid this season .
