Now, you've got to look at that role as, I mean, it's stated as a right wing back, but essentially it's probably going to be right corner back, you know, where you're just tucking alongside.

And Jake O'Brien is only going to be seven or eight yards inside him.

And then the touchline is only going to be seven, eight yards outside him.

So the spaces he's going to have to work in are very, very small.

And Seamus is clever enough to know that if he does decide to step in, if we have a good spell of possession and he does join in, then it's 100% possession for us.

And it's not going to get turned over and we're going to get counterattacked, you know.

Now, that may happen once or twice, but I suppose it's the balance of probability.

So, Seamus is going to be well capable of filling in there.

I think the back three have probably settled now.

Long term, I think I spoke to you previously about my issues, I think, with moving forward at this flat back five.

probably isn't the future of where we're going to be.

At some point, we're going to have to be able to take the game two teams a little bit better.

Otherwise, we're just going to keep sinking and sinking and end up being a pot three team in the Nations League.

I think when you look at the manager's thoughts about how we...

You know, when he first got the job, he spoke about the weight of the jersey.

It was difficult for players.

He wanted us to be more attacking, more positive.

He tried to do that and we got our asses handed to us.

So then rather than try and come up with something clever mid-group, he just went, OK, what's everybody comfortable with here?

Flat back five, low block, counter-attack.
