I would say it was the role leitner / Vrancic / skipp played

Defenders look much better playing out when they have a player that is always available like that.

Kenny does it now, to slightly less effect, and so does Nunez. We missed them badly last night.

Wright looks like he could develop into a good player, but also clear that right now he’s young and inexperienced.
