The local paper is being generous there - especially to the new bloke (perhaps biased from seeing him play for Worcester previously?) who made a few good interceptions but only because he was not marking their forwards and Worcester were terrible and unable to find their men any more than we were. Any half decent side would have passed it round him all day. Hughes in particular regularly had 10+ yards of empty pitch around him in the final third.
I think our defence is so short of confidence that they are not marking their man properly because they have one eye on covering for their team mates when they inevitably let their man go. This then becomes a self fulfilling prophesy as they are all doing the same thing and not marking anyone properly. Tell them to focus on their own j0b and not worry about everyone else!
