When Elphick plays we seem to defend so, so deep, not even leaving our own half.

With Jedinak sitting just in front the gap between attack and centre midfield is huge, which i think is the reason the ball just keeps on coming back at us.

Absolutely spot on, if we're searching for the cause of our dip it's right there. The knock on effect on the rest of the team is much more than just being a bit of a ropey defender.

His pace is shocking, I doubt there's a player in the division that isn't quicker.

So the half arsed efforts from the rest of the players is Elphick's fault then?
