I don't have any good memories of 3 at the back last year.
 
Two problems;
 
Center backs are generally too slow, especially turning, to play left or right back - a winger's delight.
 
Whenever Lochhead was played in the midfield he lost his effectiveness. He was at his best coming forward from a true left back position and linking up with the midfield.
 
We need to play people in their specialist positions (accepting last year we were forced to play people out of position because of injuries, suspensions and poor performance).
