I see the club are trying to boost the morale of some squad players. Using the hashtag “YoungTerriers” for half the team is taking the mick Bojan, assist for Ladapo both taken off at half time. Good 6:0 win. Very impressed with Peter Thomas came on at half time, very impressive. UTT Good, hope it was just to get minutes in their legs and match sharpness and them going off not because they had picked up knocks.

I've only just accepted 6 becoming a midfielders number instead of 4. But I'm not having 5 being used for anything other than a centre half and certainly not a flair player in an alice band..

Still doesn't have Zidane's end product though I see...

Slick goal by Cov, with Rudoni involved.

Really glad that Sky just got a shot of Brennan Johnson's dad in. It's been so long that I'd almost forgotten what he looks like.

Coventry had loads of chances but didn’t take them and made to pay .
Going by Saturday and tonight seems to be a common theme for them .

They'll go up sooner rather than later. Nearly £50m spent since the start of last season. Nowhere near the playoffs last season and midtable so far this season. Not sure where you get your 'go up sooner or later' assessment from? 🤔

But wasn't football's original formation 2-3-5 with the forward line consisting of two 'inside forwards' as well as two wingers and a CF? This is why full backs are numbered 2 and 3 and wingers wear 7 and 11 notwithstanding formational changes which have occurred since. These changes have seen the inside forwards (8 & 10) become midfielders whilst the centre forward retains No 9. Under the original numbering midfielders would be 4, 5 and 6 with the centre mid being the 5. As such Rudoni wearing 5 could be considered traditional and not woke!

Quite correct, certainly from the 20s to mid 60s, when teams started copying Alf Ramseys wingless world cup winners. That was still the formation that got Town promoted in 69-70 with Lawson and Worthington being part of that front three. McGill the other, but he was more playing a Hogg type roll, just further forward. Trevor Cherry was the classy half back, he wasn't dirty until Revie got hold of him, Ellam the no.5 as in centre half. different times, but more exciting than just having one bloody forward like so many teams these days.

But the central midfielder ie the no 5 would probably be the first to drop back between the 2 full backs (who never crossed half way line in a 2 3 5) leaving 4 and 6 further forward. That's why 5 still got called centre half even when they were centre defence really.

I think it was the Liverpool team in the 70’s that first started to give the No 5 shirt to players who were not defenders. Peter Cormack, Ray Kennedy and Ronnie Whelan all wore No 5.
