Hanley and especially Gibson. That's where most of the gaffs have arisen. Andy O and Sorensen might be better on the ball but they lack basic defensive skills. As is often mentioned the lack of a CDM highlights Hanley/Gibsons shortcomings. We either ditch the current tactic or need to replace them.
