[why is defending sooo terrible on FM23?]

sorry - mistake on my part....I am using the Tornado tactic...a 3-4-2-1 tactic.

[why is defending sooo terrible on FM23?]

I have tried a bunch of tactics - 4 AND 5 at the back - and just can't seem to keep a clean sheet unless I stick ten men behind the ball. Anyone found a balanced fomation that at least keeps the odd clean sheet??

Just can't find any tactic for a upper/middle tier side that has any chance of a decent season.

Playing as Newcastle using FestiveSpirit2.1 tactic - only kept five clean sheets out of 19 games. Conceded 26 goals. I have tried a lot of different tactics and formations but either opposition plays a simple through ball and defenders stand and watch or they just give the attackers the ball for a clean run on goal.

Getting a bit frustrated

Downloaded and put in skins file but it's not showing up as an available skin in the game for some reason - any ideas?
