This season we are still have an improved Raggett ( he couldn't get worse TBH) and Jack back fit. Because we haven't replaced Burgess properly (Raggett was Burgess replacement,that is Rasmus) the club as a hole is slightly weaker at CB. I know Deep you will say Jack didn't play last season,however, he was still at the club. Raggett was a loanee because we weer short and Downing was meant to replace Clarke ( well done Kenny).
Anyway I still believe we haven't improved player wise in defence,it's just that we're playing better tactics and the pressure has been taken of the defence.
There's so many things wrong in that post ....
Raggett was signed to replace Clarke as the left sided CB
Downing was signed to be better than Burgess as right sided CB and at the time of signing them there was
no assumption that Jack would be in contention (just hope)
That's why he started the season with the Downing/Raggett combination before having to concede that Burgess was better than Downing. And how can you say Burgess has not been replaced properly ? Whatmough is better IMO.
And Jack was not injured after one game. Where did you get that from ? He was injured in February FFS.
And how could you have Seddon & Brown in the same team ? They both play left back and never played in the same team.
