I would agree with you

ina team that had 4 proper midfielders (ie. a proper left winger who tackled back). Whenever we played Hucks plus 2 strikers we looked vulnerable defensively (because Francis is more of an attacking midfielder). Thats why Worthy only introduced it in the Championship season AFTER we had played the run of games against decent teams in Feb/March and had a long finishing run against mainly dodgy bottom-half teams. Of the 3 games we played in that formation against good teams we won 1 (Wigan) and lost 2 (Palace, Sunderland). It is very very risky against anyone who isn't absolute crap, as our defensive record last year showed.
