Defence is the best form of attack

THE form of Wanderers' defence is giving their attackers more confidence, said winger Joel Grant.

Saturday's shut out against York was the third in a row Blues have kept, and the seventh in their last dozen, as a previously porous back line has tightened up considerably.

And Grant said knowing he had a strong defence behind him is allowing him and the rest of the side's attacking players to play with a greater amount of swagger.

He said: "If you're in a winning team you're a bit more relaxed and you can take a bit more time on the ball. You're not panicking as much.

"As an attacker if you know the defence is doing their job, the onus is on you to get the goals. There's nothing better when you know they are going to do well at the back. It says, 'You boys up front, go and do your thing'."
