An incredible defensive record so far this season, albeit in the fourth division.
Which are the best Sky Blues defensive line-ups people can remember? A few which stand out in my mind would be:
- Glazier, Smith, Blockley, Barry or Parker, Cattlin
- Blyth, Thomas, Dyson, Gillespie, Roberts
- Ogrizovic, Borrows, Kilcline, Peake, Downs
Showing my age I guess, but I haven’t had much confidence in our defence for a very long time.
Completely agree BackRoom, and I'm not seriously comparing the guys we have now with the old legends. But they can't do any more than keep clean sheets in the league they're playing in can they?Nah its sunday league all those you quote were against higher league. Sorry but its true :/
Ogrizovic, Borrows, Kilcline, Peake, Downs
My favourite complimented each other so well
"Sick boy is a twat"How sweet, what did they say to each other?

I reckon me and the next 2 people I see would offer more of an attacking game threat than Barnet today!
Yes for the level we are it it's great it's solid but to compare to teams and players from years gone by is a joke!
So we’re in a crap league, there’s not much pace, the shooting’s rubbish and people can’t cross a ball. But we’ve only conceded 6 in 12 games, which is a rare cause for optimism in these bleak years. If the defence can keep that up it gives us the platform for promotion, and I’d take that whichever way we can achieve it.
The current team wouldn’t live with those in years gone by, we all know that and nobody’s comparing Chris Stokes to Trevor Peake. But leaving that aside, what’s the best defence we ever had? And how about the best since we dropped out of the Prem – Westwood, Wright, Dann, Turner & Fox?
Agreed, he was class - the problem was he was never fitSince dropping out the Prem in a Cov shirt pound for pound on those rare occasions he played I'd say David Mcnamee is the best right back we've had.... Keogh, Wright and Christie included.
29 appearances, only 3 of which he lasted 90 mins?Just been on wiki and I'm stunned he made 29 appearances for us!! Expected it to be 15 max!
Did Nilsson not play when we went down? If so, David Mcnamee better than Nilsson?Since dropping out the Prem in a Cov shirt pound for pound on those rare occasions he played I'd say David Mcnamee is the best right back we've had.... Keogh, Wright and Christie included.
The last group are probably the best defence we’ve had in my time supporting the club. Although our defence have done well, Barnet played for a draw today, and didn’t offer much of a threat today. Other posters are right to point to the defensive nature of the team, with holding midfielders adept at shielding the defence. The lack of goals is a concern, a lucky bounce for them and weAn incredible defensive record so far this season, albeit in the fourth division.

Any statto's on here know what the record number of clean sheets are in div 2 (old div 4) for a season. Providing we can keep the same defence and the midfield 2 together for most of this season I think we will have a chance
Another disappointment I'm afraid.I remember when we signed Dimitri Konstontopalis (spelling), I believe he got 21-22 clean sheets for Hartlepool, who were in League 2. However, I don’t know if that was in all competitions or not.
Another disappointment I'm afraid.
He actually went on to do quite well after he left us didn’t he? Started for Middlesborough in the Championship when they got promoted!
