His defence at times isn't up to scratch. He can make some good tackles but then they walk past him. To many players in this team missing 3/4/5 tackles each week.
Well you should care about the ratio because while Robes made 51, he missed 4, so should he be slated for missing 4? No, of course not.
Yes, Walsh gets skinned. He's not quick enough in defence. He has to set himself up. Just like Walmsley can't play the ball properly and so we rarely get a quick PTB when he has been tackled.
It's obvious that all the team need to up their defence - although Wheeler for all his invisibility in attack made 23 tackles with no misses - but we wouldn't have been in that situation had it not been for dropped ball, penalties and a generally screwed up attack (which Brown changed for some reason when attack was not the bloody problem).
