What does MW see in MJ though? What are we missing. There must be something that makes him choose him ahead of Norman.
All I see is someone who is less agile than Lewington, isn’t good at tackling, isn’t actually that good at passing and fairly average in the air.
Norman is superior to him in every area.
MJ has had plenty of good games in that back 3. Let's not pretend he's the only reason we're losing games. He's obviously MW's preferred option out of a pretty average bunch. Norman is nothing special, Lewie isn't really suited to the right side of the defence and Anthony Stewart could well be dead for all I know. So we've not got a great selection of options. I imagine Tucker will slot straight back in, as soon as he's fit enough.
I can't defend MJ's performance today, he was vey poor. As were pretty much all of our players defensively. But can we please stop using him as a scapegoat everytime we have a poor performance. This idea that we can replace MJ with Norman and everything will be fine is nonsense.
Absolutely not using him as a scapegoat, I think the criticism is totally justified. He’s looked poor for weeks now. He’s not the sole reason we lost tonight, but he is the weakest link in a pretty weak defence.
Harvie is close to being as weak as MJ if he keeps up his most recent performances.
