Defensively, Brawlankridge needs a significant overhaul. Conceding 62 goals indicates a lack of organization and defensive discipline. Improving defensive communication, positioning, and perhaps adding more defensive solidity will be key. Additionally, increasing goal-scoring consistency and converting chances more effectively could help turn narrow losses into wins.
