Aston Villa
So far only two teams have conceded more than Villa in the Championship this season, and no other side in the top 12 has conceded double figures so far.
It's obvious that Villa have failed to find adequate replacements for goalkeeper Sam Johnstone who was one of the outstanding performers last season, and for centre-back John Terry who was great for them in terms of both his performances on the pitch and his influence off it.
Villa has signed goalkeeper Orjan Nyland from Ingolstadt and the Norwegian's form has been mixed so far and he was arguably at fault for a couple of their goals as they lost 4:1 at Bramall Lane.
Mile Jedinak has been James Chester's regular central defensive partner so far and it's led to a huge amount of uncertainty and an incredibly leaky backline. Jedinak has a lot of experience but it's not his ideal position and he's struggling there. He's not a true centre-half.
As for other positions, Jack Grealish's form has not been as good as last season. Per 90 minutes Grealish is down on, passes made, dribbles completed, shots taken, duels won, tackles won, interceptions made and recoveries made. One of the only key statistics he is up on this season is fouls won, which may prove that he's become more of a target for the opposition this campaign.
Despite all the shortcomings in their squad and performances so far, there are still reasons for Villa to feel positive this season. They have one of the strongest squads in the Championship and they've brought in two excellent new attacking players in Tammy Abraham and Yannick Bolasie which should make them a real threat going forward if they can get the balance right.
