Thought I would look up the statistics in the light of our defensive collapse at Bristol.

Hunt - 29 matches, 9 clean sheets, 28 goals conceded
Palmer - 13 matches, 7 CS, 13 goals
Lees - 31 matches, 12 CS, 31 goals
Loovens - 26 matches, 13 CS, 21 goals
Turner - 10 matches, 2 CS, 14 goals
Hutchinson - 5 matches, 2 CS, 3 goals
Sasso - 13 matches, 3 CS, 13 goals
Pudil - 31 matches, 10 CS, 33 goals
Bennett - 3 matches, 3 CS, 0 goals
Helan - 3 matches, 1 CS, 3 goals
Wiggins - 6 matches, 2 CS, 6 goals

These figures are raw figures and don't take account of the fact that Palmer only gets picked for away matches, particularly the tough ones whereas Hunt gets left out of tough matches. Here is a table based upon goals conceded per game:

1. Bennett 0
2. Hutchinson 0.6
3. Loovens 0.81
4. Hunt 0.97
5. Palmer 1.0
6. Lees 1.0
7. Sasso 1.0
8. Helan 1.0
9. Wiggins 1.0
10. Pudil 1.06
11. Turner 1.40

Probably more important in the Playoffs would be the likelihood of getting a clean sheet so here is a table based upon the likelihood of a clean sheet:

1. Bennett 100%
2. Palmer 54%
3. Loovens 50%
4. Hutchinson 40%
5. Lees 39%
6. Helan 33%
7. Wiggins 33%
8. Pudil 32%
9. Hunt 31%
10. Sasso 23
11. Turner 20%

We perform best with Palmer, Lees & Loovens in the back four. With limited data, Bennett looks best at LB.
