We were only "defensively solid" for about two seasons. After that we've always been kinda bad. Have you forgotten about all the soft goals conceded from set plays, etc? Yeah, it was never this bad, but you're making it out as if we were the 04/05 type unbeatable defense for "years", which we weren't. And like St Abramovich mentioned, Cole is a very very poor player at the moment. Defensively yesterday he and Ferreira were both SHOCKING.
