Better team won, identify that number 8 and sign him in January. Bayliss isn’t right for the midfield two, so unfortunately we’ve got no choice but to move Power into midfield and play Pearce. I don’t think Leam trusts him enough defensively though and I don’t blame him. We really need Bennett fit.
We knew we’d be in trouble if we lost any key first team players and this is an example. Plus the midweek drought is really starting to piss me off! Something not right there, preparation, players not up for it, whatever it is.
