Are we missing Milner's experience to see out these types of games

No. The issue is tactical. Swapping Hinsh out for Milner, who’d really struggled as a high 8, would’ve left us more exposed with his worse pace and mobility. What we needed was to stop the transitions at source or drop the midfield players further back so that they were in better positions to press the turnover…

Or, as many suggested, drop the whole team 10 yards.

I just recalled that when the HT subs were announced, we looked at each other and said we had forgotten that JWP had been on the pitch.

I just recalled that when the HT subs were announced, we looked at each other and said we had forgotten that JWP had been on the pitch.

We didn't but were mightily p!ssed off at half-time to notice that JWP was no longer on the pitch, certain that his replacement would be better.
