Sorry, football19, but I don't really understand what you are saying. We all know that the likes of Leighton Baines, Ashley Cole etc are attacking full backs. The fact that we all know this doesn't prevent them from being attacking full backs. Our problem was that the work of our attacking full backs and midfielders was not being turned into goals. And this in turn inevitably put pressure on the defence. I'm not convinced that we were shipping goals because we had attacking full backs. The problem was too many individual errors.

It matters not that other teams may come to Accy without attacking full backs. They often come with other options such as wingers, fast and/or powerful strikers, defenders who can read a game.
