We have conceded 14 goals in six games, please do not tell me (or anyone with a brain bigger than a Goldfish) that we don't have a problem with our full back or center half's. It has bugger all to do with who plays in front of the back four.
Football is not as simple as "we can't score, therefore our strikers are weak; we can't defend, therefore our back line is weak." While it's true we could do with improvement along the back line, that doesn't absolve the players ahead of them in their responsibilities for shielding the back line, especially in a high line format.
