Everyone has to put in a shift to win the ball and close oppo down......

Redmond was doing it towards the end of last season and until the transfer window shut.

In some games Dorrans had been doing well helping to cover Whits.

Howson has very often been poor at winning the ball, closing down and tracking runs.
