I wouldn't mind if playing 5 in midfield strengthened our midfield, but it was poor. The opposition still virtually went straight through them.
All credit to the defence, they have been the best part of our side this season but unless the midfield is strong enough and ours most certainly isn't, then playing 3 at the back does put even more pressure on an already overworked defence.
We keep playing the long ball and usually lose anyway, so why not try playing some football? But that would mean the midfield making themselves available, can't see it happening unfortunately.
Most supporters are still trying to encourage but I know for a lot of people their patience is running out, because performances are not getting any better.
