The numbers are interesting: Previous 10 games with a 3: Won 5, drew 3, lost 2. Scored 9, conceded 8. Average ranking of opposition: 55.3 Previous 10 games with a 4: Won 5, lost 5 Scored 16, conceded 19. Average ranking of opposition: 94.4 So, playing with a three, we have played better teams, on average, we've won the same amount, but we've lost less. We've scored less (you have to counter in the superior opposition with that one) and we've conceded a lot less
