Blues boss Paul Jewell says he is yet to decide whether to scrap Town’s diamond midfield when Town take on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in a week’s time. The system, which saw his side to a run of results which took them into the play-off places, has come under scrutiny more recently after three successive defeats.

Jewell says Town have to take care not to overreact: “What we’ve got isn’t completely shattered, it’s not completely broken. What you’ve got to do in times like this is try and keep a cool head and keep believing that what you’re trying to do is right.

“We’re not doing too much differently to what we were doing three weeks ago, we’ve just started making basic errors and are getting punished for them.

“Perhaps people have got wise to our system. Maybe we’ll change the system, maybe we won’t.”

In the second half of Saturday’s 3-2 defeat to Doncaster the Blues switched to a more traditional 4-4-2 with Josh Carson and Lee Martin out wide, while the Town manager could return to the five-man midfield employed earlier on in the season.
