Our problems have almost always been down to us defending to high or to deep and the 3 at the back formation gives us more control of the pitch in midfield.

Having 2 players up top who are actual strikers has to give us more of a chance of scoring than pinning our hopes on midfielders as was proved with the 2 blazing misses from Volks and Towell this weekend.

That is why I think the formation will suit the players better.
Having heard about the misses yesterday I was expecting absolute howlers. Now having watched the highlights, yes they were chances but not the 'blazing' misses I was expecting. Our opponents miss similar chances every game we play (including yesterday) and we seem to forget about those and think we are the only ones who suffer.
