Touchline
Borlesbor Albion's season was hampered by defensive fragility, as evidenced by their goal difference of -30. The team needs to focus on tightening their backline and reducing the number of goals conceded to climb higher in the standings. Additionally, converting more scoring opportunities could help turn some of those draws into wins and improve overall points tally.
