We are bang average, with plenty of goals at both ends.  Currently we are shipping too many to be realistic top six contenders, but the fixes seem clearer and they don't involve major personnel changes in the back four.  Three things:

Make sure Dan Burn is on the pitch when opponents bring on the giant centre forward. 

Give Dembele a crash course in how to be effective when defending a corner. Hopefully this is happening post Sheffield Wednesday

Get a central defensive midfielder with physical "presence" in January. 

Do all three and the goals conceded per game could plummet.  April and May could yet be a lot of fun.
why would you want Dembele defending corners. He should be on the halfway line getting ready for a quick vounter
Because we concede from corners and Dembele has the strength and jumping ability to win a duel.  But he needs the know-how.  I agree he'd be an asset on the halfway line too.  But this is a physical league with an emphasis on height.  23 teams surely regard us as soft at defending corners with good reason and this needs to change.

We should leave someone up, but it can be someone who can hold the ball up and distribute to the advancing cavalry.  We have several who can do this.
