Only reason any team plays 3 centre halfs is if the defenders arent good enough to play as a 2. Batth might make all the difference to him and allow us to attack more
Well half the world play it of course, including many of the highest ranked richest teams with the pulling power for all the most impressive players.
 
He’s dropped one of the main reasons that a 4 at the back didn’t work

Early in the season, Flanagan covered for Doyle an awful lot. He's had a poor few weeks but I wouldn't blame him for the reason a back 4 hasn't worked. There have been a number of reasons, including a lack of genuine full-backs, we've had stopgaps there an awful lot. Doyle isn't the most natural defender in the world and sometimes has a tendency to dive in unnecessarily. Also, with Winchester at RB, Evans is the only DM we have and he's had a lot of injuries. And then Flanagan went into a period of poor form.

Shout out for one of the best Mams I know. It's @addicted_to_safc's birthday today. For those who don't know, she puts in one hell of a shift every day caring for her disabled daughter, as well as looking after her other children. If anyone deserves three points on her birthday, then it's her! Haway the lads.

Haway the lads and haway @addicted_to_safc
 
It 100% was not the same formation as we played a couple of weeks ago with Gooch at RB, Cirkin at LB. Wright was always tucked in out of possession.
Wright was tucked in, IN possession as well. Well, he 100% stayed back should I say. Didn't get on his bike
