Tonight it was more like a 2 at the back, Davies was playing centrally much of the time and Gunter was pushed way forward.

We had lots of success playing 5 at the back, but much of that was down to soaking up pressure and being able to hit teams on the break.
With an extra attacking or midfield option, we're now a team that is capable of taking a game to teams, something I wouldn't have said a couple of years ago. Yes, a back 5 might be needed against top notch opposition, but surely a back 4 is the way to go for the rest of the group.

Back to 5 against Georgia and Ireland for me
Not sure I agree.
We definitely need a result in Georgia or the Irish will leap frog us again with a comfortable home game against Moldova.
That may result in Ireland coming to Cardiff for the final game, simply wanting a draw to make the play off's.
We need to be bold in our final games and go for 2 wins.
We'll need two wins just to make the play offs. Even if we finish second with 18 points I don't think that'll be enough. The Irish are probably already out as the best tally they can achieve is 19 points which I think may make them the worst second place finish.
5 of the back suited when we didn't have that much creativity up the pitch so replaced with a solid defender. Now we have Woodburn we can go 4 at the back IMO
It depends on the opposition but i'd like to see our regular formation become 4 at the back and only resorting to 5 at the back for the toughest games. We do seem to have the players now for 4-2-3-1
