We did and direct football will only get us so far which is why we needed to change. As fumingly frustrating as it is with the errors it's all about next season and new players. However I am not opposed to mixing it up in the meantime which we did superbly against Ipswich.We started the kamikaze approach under the Cowleys
It's the way MA wants to play so expect at least two new centre halves in before the start of next season - younger, quicker and better technically. This season is about getting the blue print right. There will be a degree of perseverance until the personnel change as the pattern of play also impacts on the players ahead of the defence and they need to get fully used to that style. It would only change significantly if we were to get dragged into a relegation dog fight which I do not see happening. Under those circumstances practicality may kick in.
I absolutely agree and it unbelievably angrifying which is why I am calming my blood pressure by trying to be philosophical about the long term plan.All very well but it's costing us a goal a game.

It's entertaining though!
"It's the way MA wants to play so expect at least two new centre halves in before the start of next season - younger, quicker and better technically." I think it will be two centre backs and a goalkeeper coming in. I don't think MA is a huge Vickers fan on what he has seen the past 4 to 6 weeks.
It needs to stop. I wouldn't mind but I'm not sure what we gain from it even when it works.
No problem with bowling it out to full-backs, but giving the ball to lower-league centre-halves ten yards from goal is madness.
