The first half of the game showed a continuation of a problem we have had for quite some time, namely, when our mids are under pressure or being beaten, they cannot rely on our small forwards to provide any relief for them.
The small forwards were rarely sighted and when they did attempt to get into the game they were just brushed aside. The North backs, with little or no pressure, ran off them, linked up with their mids and put our backs immediately under pressure.
Had our mids not lifted and brought the small forwards into the game in the second half, it could well have been a repeat of the first half.
