I think we really missed Gunnars and Bruno today. With them I think we would have come away with a scrappy result.

In no way have they been replaced or the formation changed to address their absence.

I just don't see how you can play Flint, Peltier, Bennett and Mozza in the same defence with no shielding midfield player. It was like watching a small copse of trees being run through by wood nymphs today. Simple balls down the side of the central two caused panic.

Bruno was often the covering player for the last few years. Ok he had a mistake in him but the made numerous covering tackles, interceptions etc. His value far outweighed his deficiencies.

Gunnars was also a rock protecting the back four when we didn't have possession.

To me, we desperately need a defensive midfield general and we cannot play a defence made up of that personnel and get away with it.
