well how is that Francis's fault?

I'm saying that in the second half of the season we were hopelessly overrun in central midfield because we had too many purely attacking players on the field. Whatever the possible reason for their lack of defensive play (and Hucks has always been the same whatever his fitness levels and it DOES mean he almost never gets tired and has to be substituted late in the game) it doesn't alter teh fact that Frnacis's game suffers because of it, and did in teh second half of last season. No-one had to cover for more substandard players than Francis last season and no-one had a more valid excuse to be exhausted towards the end.
