Can we please stop saying we are playing 3 at the back. It's a 5. Always has been. Maybe you could say a 3 and a 2 but it's a 5. We had a great and I do mean great wingback at this level which should be key to the formation. Not only did we let him leave but we played him at centre half!!

The wingbacks are often the furthest forward. It is a back 3. Also we never conceded on Saturday whilst playing 3 at the back, we went to 442 after nelson went off and that’s when we conceded.

Hartlepools goal had nothing to do with a back 3, 4 or 5 and everything to do with Williams inability to do anything positive to stop their player.

Looking back he will probs be thinking that he could’ve done better but I can understand why he jockeyed him, was a great ball from Umerah and a a good strike. The biggest criticism from me would be that we over committed to getting a winner when there was still 2 minutes (plus the 7 that was added) left.
