Or all of them - we still look very lumbering in defence, both physically and mentally. So when a pacy sub comes on and does open up we seem ill-equipped to know what to do next. Martin made a great late clearance, but perhaps he shouldn't have needed to. Whittaker looked fine to me, but then again as the pace came on you were wondering why he was sort of loitering in no-man's land when there was a bloke wanting marking running down the wing. Or why Olsson did his usual gaze from afar. And Seb was looking great until he started looking a bit dim. Ruddy seemed ok to me - I think he gets more stick than he deserves - yeah not as good as pre-injury, but he was bollocking the defence ahead of the mistakes that were costly so perhaps they should listen a bit more.
There you are then, deaf, stupid and slow across the back four.
