Then I would suggest we need to look to blood a replacement, or sign a replacement for Lomax. Harsh, but that is two serious injuries in two seasons. Can he come back half the player he looked to be last season, pre injury?
Agreed, they have to use this season to sort his replacement if they think he can come from within the club.
Wello did okay tonight, but left all the kick returns to the wingers and was walked past several times. He did make one quality tackle on Atkins, but he's little more than a speed bump now.
I like Makinson at fullback, there must be a half decent outside back in the youth team?
Give over. He had plenty of room on the first occasion and was only caught by an (exceptionally) fast winger and possibly should have had a penalty for a high shot.
The second occasion was tighter. But I'd much prefer my wing to take on an opponent (who could miss the tackle) than go down for an easy ball recycle.
