We seem to have got obsessed with attack and run from defense and forgotten all about a defenders primary role.EB I just read this and you are spot on, I posted just then about defenders not knowing how to defend.
Saad is the only one capable of doing both jobs IMO. Docherty, Plowman and Williamson couldnt guard an elephant if it was trapped in a telephone box...
We can blame mids not getting back but those three players have been poor in both games and I think the likes of Newman, Stocker and even new boy Parks might be worth a try.
You look at Richmond and their mids really dont get back or chase that hard either, they just have boring defenders like Grimes, Astbury, Balta, Vlastuin and Broad who defend well...
