The second half defensive performance was in part due to injury. They lost Reid Buncom Robinson and Swan.  Already were missing  Holder Alfieri and Cotton.

7 of their top defenders. Makes it tough. Not an excuse. Next man up etc. But still...

Next man up works well in theory.  There is a reason the "next man up" is the next man.  He is not as good as the man he is replacing .
