Here’s how Twitter reacted to the team…

@Foxy_005 – “Five at the back again, #nufc going to try and take this to penalties.”

@AndyKenny27 – “As strong as it could be I figure. Get behind the team for next few hours and then let's see where we're at come 10pm!”

@archieross09 – “Hope Joelinton isn’t on twitter. Give the lad a break. It’s a confidence position. #getbehindthelad”

@danjpeg – “At Rochdale our back three was Krafth, Fernandez and Hayden. You'd like to think, arguably our best three centre-backs, will do alright tonight..

@OfficialsteveJ – “Not confident in the slightest!”

@Garwain – “I genuinely cant believe he’s gone with five at the back once again. I’m done with him now, absolutely no ambition to win games, sitting back even against league 1 opposition. Woeful.”
