Well it would be pretty embarrassing if we didn’t look stronger defensively when we have 5 at the back.
When Wright or EMC are fit again we must go back to a 433.
Paterson isn't gonna be starting every week is he though. Just pointing out he's not the dross everyone seems to be making him out to be.
Also I'd take him in my squad over Palmer.
If we actually had another winger in the squad maybe. But we don't.
Not many managers are going to be able to consistently win games without their two most productive attackers and playing an unfavoured formation.
