SutekhSnowflake RoyalMR. CYNICAL Wasn't impressed by his appointment, especially when it became obvious he likes to play long ball, can't argue with the last 5 results but it's fine margins, Luton could of gone either way once they got back to 2-2, Peterborough we could easily of lost 4-1 but hung on and Stockport we had to rely on another Wing screamer in the last minute to win the game and the football has been turgid to say the least.
Let's see what this window brings as regards his playing style and if we can build on this run of results before getting carried away.
I don't think he does like to play long ball. But with a team in poor form, you play simple and direct because they're going to struggle with much else.
Our last two games we've had 52.1% & 53% possession and 79% & 80% pass accuracy. And there was a notable decrease in long balls against Stockport. It seems to me, he's stabilised things, got the players confidence and form up, and is now starting to transition into more complex and passing football. I guess we'll see how that progresses.
He's always going to be fairly direct, or rather high tempo attacking intent, I suspect.
Good, don’t want cr@ppy keepball with plenty of passing and possession just for the sake of getting pointless stats up.
But that's what we tend to do, pass it sideways and backwards in our own half before hoofing it to up to their centre backs.
