Five at the back isn’t necessarily a bad formation, played correctly, as we showed when Tonda first took over. That being said I much prefer us playing with a four and thank every god ever invented that I don’t have to watch Manning and Wood try to defend every weekend any more.
The playoffs look a tall order, not because of the points gap but because of the flotsam in between us and sixth. Even if we win our next three, the chances are four or five teams above us will pick up six or seven points too.
