This is the main flaw with Mick in the recent run of games.

Out of nowhere he opts to not only stick with 5 at the back, which is already handicapping Cardiff's ability to be competitive in the middle of the park as all play a very deep line, but he then goes with all 5 at the back to be centre backs.

To continue with this just signals to me he's looking for a way out. As there is absolutely no way he can justify going with that line up yet again.
