Our depth has definitely weakened, our injuries are a bit of a perfect storm though. Cotchin, Prestia, Lambert are probably our best two way midfielders, all mature bodies that are difficult to replace. Up against a quality midfield, left a lot to a back 6 missing its best defender.I still think our back up players to our missing senior players aren’t as good as 2019 which makes us fragile and that’s why we’re caving in.
I reckon our balance was a bit off on the weekend, Vlastuin is not as strong defensively as Grimes and clearly the same goes for Martin and Cotchin. Need to find another defensive mid imo - not sure who.
