There's been loads worse games in the last fifteen years. The last game away at Leeds for a start!
Definitely wasn't good and we just weren't on it enough. Whether that was your physically or mentally hopefully Thorup knows.
I think Hanley and Duffy were a big part of the problem. Unable to build in the way we planned to it knocked everyone else off their stride. The space we were giving their players in our half is to a large extent due to them not setting the right tone.
Doyle played left back for Leicester last season and has been signed as a left back. I still don't understand how this tucking in inverted left back thing works but hopefully better than it did on Saturday.
Nunez started brightly, won back possession well high up a couple of times but the possession he conceded was unforgivable. With a good DCM covering him (or a defence able to play a higher line) then would have been less of a problem.
Agree the direction under Wagner to sign more experienced players was a mistake. But some of that is hindsight in them turning out not to be any good.
Hux is one of our best ever signings and it wasn't a problem he was experienced.
