Defensive organization remains the primary concern, as evidenced by the -41 goal difference. Addressing defensive lapses, improving communication at the back, and strengthening set-piece defense should be prioritized.

The Ledger
Leigath Rovers' season has been a tough but instructive experience. The team’s strengths lie in individual contributions from players like Amon and Saber, who contributed significantly despite the overall team struggles. However, defensive frailties and inconsistency have hindered progress.
