This was the quote, I could have misinterpreted it!

Hughes reverted to the tried and tested 4-3-3 formation and he felt Wrexham responded well.
"We have been working on the 3-4-3 over the last few weeks but I flipped it back to the 4-3-3," said Hughes.
"There is not much change, just that the sweeper plays in front instead of behind in the shape.

Read it that the sweeper played behind in a 3-4-3!
