However you want to phrase it. Not having a replacement is problematic. I don't think Washy ran from dummy half once today. Houghtons kicking from dummy half is also an asset we miss.
Don't know why we can't defend all of a sudden though.

Just watched the try's again and it's even worst than I thought, some of the worst defending I've seen for a few seasons.
Cannot have Kelly, Fonua and Michaels defending the same side.
although Kelly tackled above his stature he missed a lot, something fc are not used to, I suppose along with fonua does make one side weak. are teams targeting this hence the unusual weak defence?

No, we're weak right across the defensive line. Our line speed, initial contact, one on one tackling and defensive structures have been shambolic in the last 2 games
just watched the tries back and your right its worse , mini watts and even manu not exactly covering there selves with glory, I still hope this is a blip and we come back strongly, we have the team imo, time will tell

Sleep walking to the Championship. Discipline , Defence and ball movement shocking. We have been conning ourselves after the Wembley win . To concede all those points at home is criminal .
