Not a criticism, but I did notice last season we were more direct than the last time we were in the Championship. Understandable, given that we were a little out of our depth.
But on Friday, I couldn't help but notice that was the case again against Birmingham.
I was expecting this season we'd be more possession based, given we have superior players to the majority of the league now, but still seemed to be a case of playing it around between the centre backs and keepers, then getting it to the full-backs who pump it long to Hirst.
Will be a little disappointing if that is now our tactic, given the quality we've got. |  |

I would say the team of KMck 2.0 is reforming. Whether his principles have changed at all we wait to see, we can see what we’ve seen which is for PL we knew we’d have less possession therefore speed in transition was the aim. Whether we head back to being brave on the ball, aggressive in recovering the ball and dominating the ball in the opposition half remains to be seen. It’s obvious we were not able to take that with us L1 to Champ to PL, and late stages of the championship were slightly tweaked with Tuanzebe coming to solidify defensive. Either PL experience will be a hangover as we attempt to move back to dominate or we’ve left that behind and we are moving to pragmatism, it all remains to be seen. Looking forward to hearing his thoughts once the squad is settled in Sept.

Definitely not. It was the tactic for that game, which made sense as they were pressing us a lot and we were losing the ball.
I like the fact we mix it up. Also Palmer seems to be not quite as comfortable on the ball as say Hladky. | | | |
