Both these players have their strengths, but neither has the game to play defensive midfield. That was the main problem yesterday and against Bristol. We try and play out from the back and the ball doesn't stick in central midfield, but comes back to their forwards. We then find ourselves backpedalling and often outnumbered. Against Leicester it wasn't a problem because the whole team sat back behind the ball in a defensive posture and looked to hit on the break. But if we are going to play Carrickball, Barlasar and O'Brien aren't the right players.
Of course many other players were poor on the day, but that was largely because the system wasn't working.
