Colbran is a very good defender who has played full back and centre back in the past and is currently playing at centre back.
I think you mean only 7 teams have conceded more goals. How many have scored more? The two aren't mutually inclusive.
Tottenham don't seem to be doing too badly at the moment despite playing four full backs and conceding quite a few goals!
Modern football init!
Since records on FWP go back to 2012 so the past 12 seasons the worst Defense to gain promotion was Oxford last year who had the 8th BEST record in the league Apart from that every side bar Braintree who had the 7th Best record have been in the top 5 best teams in regards to goals conceded on paper.
Whilst these are of course facts and figures we currently sit 16th on goals conceded so would break all sorts of records if we were to go up with the current deference record we hold, of course this can happen and stranger thing in football have happened, but anyone who can sit there and say its fine we concede loads of goals but its ok because we score loads is surely missing sight of the bigger picture, if we sort out are defensive frailties there is no doubt we can go on a run and finish 2nd with ease with the fire power we have.
As for Colbran, hes a good CB but think back to last season/ and before how creative he was at RB how many assists from crosses he got and how good he is going forward, playing at CB limits that.
I also think back to the previous season when Joel was often moved to play alongside Aarran when Jasper was switched to right back whilst moving to a four triple two.
