Skipp and Rupp are there to try and control midfield in front of the back four

Tettey (and probably Sorensen) when used in that role tend to slip back into central defence to allow our fullbacks to become wingbacks.

Suspect that tactic might be more handy when quintilla is back.

  - Sorensen is match fit, so of the two I'd give him a go if we're resting Skipp (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 6, 10:06:10
- We’ve only conceded 8 in 10 games (n/m) (NCFC) - Adster, Nov 6, 09:48:35
  - Yes but in 3 or 4 of those games teams parked the bus and in the others (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 6, 10:16:19
    - Agreed (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Nov 6, 15:50:12
    - I expect Swansea will defend in good numbers (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 6, 10:28:36
      - Agreed. hence my view that we could do with a deeper lying CM. Maybe Skipp will just (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 6, 10:29:29
  - but that's not a reflection of the number of good chances missed against us (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 6, 09:57:59
- I’m not totally convinced by that approach (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 6, 09:47:18
  - Fair enough. What would make us more solid do you think. 3 at the back? Or (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 6, 10:17:36

      - Most of the top teams still concede loads though. (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 6, 10:29:25
      - Fair point. Yes i think we've improved a bit from set pieces, certainly against Millwall (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 6, 10:28:55
    - I think a change in playing style would be required (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 6, 10:25:24
