You're saying you need the right TI's but if you want the midfield trio to protect the defence isn't having one of them as an AP hurting the philosophy?

I'm currently on the edge of getting the sack at Coventry, just played a game against Blackpool who were bottom and I'm third bottom the press dubbed it 'El Sackicko'.
