We do, massively. If I'm being brutally honest though a team structure that relies on a defensive mid that has played 50% of games in 3 years and another that has shown one good season of form isn't the most reliable of structures. Other players (and the setups) simply must be able to cope with not having these guys available every now and again.
FWIW I would have tasked Aaron Hall with that defensive mid role once we knew both weren't available. Has the pace and a mature body and could attack if opportunity was there. Just give him the task as an initiation into the club and release him later on. Could do with some defensive encouragement anyway.
Hall and Tyson both had 5 tackles each to lead the tackle count for us.
That's a great sign for Hall whose career average is 3.35 tackles per game. Its a third more tackles than his career average which is a good way to start his time with us.
