Who'd be a manager eh

Only one goal conceded in the four games that Scott Brown has played. To my untrained and unbadged mind, that kind of solid defending breeds confidence throughout the team. If the team knows that we are likely to concede, that puts extra pressure on because midfield and forwards know they will simply have to score to get anything from a game.
