That's just one of tactics at the moment that isn't working with Ogbene at the moment. Give Vickers a go in goal Victor errors are creeping in. Formation & defence depends on whose available but recognised centre backs we are short of & a fit left back.
Ogbene definitely isn’t the same player he was before his long term injury, he’s also become predictable and full backs know he is unlikely to cut inside. Also he’s receiving the ball deeper into midfield giving the full back a bit of recovery time as he approaches him.

I can’t agree with the goalkeeper comments, even the best keepers will let in goals if the players in front of him aren’t closing down and are allowing the opposition to have a pop at goal.

Also with 3 at the back and 5 in midfield at least one of the midfielders has to provide the grit, having 5 nice “ after you Claude” type players only puts further pressure on the back 3
