I wondered about that comment too, Saxo.
I'm not sure if he was talking about a tactical change in formation, or simply referring to the fact that we've been naive in a few matches where we were in control and given the ball away too easily.
We generally solved the problem of conceding too many goals from set-pieces, but we were still too easy to catch on the break at times.
I wouldn't be at all surprised to see us using the three-at-the-back formation more often, as Bell and Bennett are well suited to the wing-back role. Then we could use the more attacking type of winger (such as Chapman) in the last half hour.
I still have an old-fashioned yearning for 4-4-2 (!), but that's impossible if we're going to play all three of Dack, Graham and Armstrong (or an equivalent replacement) - especially if a creative central midfielder is in the mix too.
