Its essential we stop the rot, if that means working hard and playing out a 0-0 draw, then so be it.

I know I was critical of Hunt in central midfield, but this was not his fault but the previous manager who played him out of position.

I cant help but conclude Hunt still has alot to offer and I hope Coley and Jimmy consider going to a back 5 to get Hunt talking to and leading the lads to a clean sheet.

I recall in our 2nd season after promotion we had a bad run of form and Coley went to a 5-3-2 which resulted in some pretty boring 0-0s and 1-0 wins but it helped grow confidence and get us out of the rot.
I get the theory but unsure it would work. For me, Hunty is as old-fashioned a full-back as they come. If we were to drop anyone else into defence I'd probably move Proc there. He did a job on Akinfenwa at the Crown earlier this season and if you can do that there's a fair bet you can mark anyone in this league.

Agree though that we need leaders on the pitch to come to the fore.
