Baptiste looked like he closed his eyes for the first goal while the striker chested it in and the second should have been whacked into the car park.
I quite like what players like Tiehi offer us in terms of protection and the option to play the easy ball to. We are missing that type of player.
Gore isn?t disciplined to do it, Benson is too fragile. McWilliams maybe?

I would really like to see us start playing with more width as well.

But the priority for now is to stop conceding.
I think Yearwood was brought in to be the player you describe. Was really impressed by the 45 mins he played pre season vs the blades with some tough tackling but he’s been poor in first team games and doesn’t look fit. Could surely play 20-30 mins when we have a lead to defend though.
Was surprised Mcwilliams came on in a forward role rather than using his energy in front of the back 3 and pushing Gore or Powell forward.
