some noticeable things:
- at one of the stoppages swallow got the ball and tried to break through a tackle when he could have just thrown it on the boot and gotten meterage.

It's almost as though he waited for the tackler so he could lower his body into the tackle.... Anyone got an idea as to why he may have done that?

That's certainly a major concern. If he's going to play defense he's got to stand up and make the big plays at important times, something he hasn't done yet, and has directly cost his team. He should study the vastly superior players from his draft like Heppell and Bennell to see how you perform for your team under pressure.

-Atley leave's his man (petrenko) and air to contest but completely misses the ball, but prior to that as the ball goes in you can clearly see its 4 on 4...where is the spare man in defence?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Atley aint a backman, he should be played on the wing so he can hurt sides with his pace.
