Been clear over the last few games that Super Kieran has tweaked our setup and tactics, sitting back and letting the opponent have the ball…and we’re seeing the benefits with teams messing it up and then using our pace and technical players to break on them. Here is the data that shows the benefit
Good preparation for when we go up as well. |  | | |  |

I don't think we've changed tactics, we've played two opponents who like to have possession and we've gone ahead in the first half in both games which has meant the opposition have had to come at us more. I feel like people often forget there are two teams playing. |  |

Perhaps he does read TWTD after all. I wonder what his user name is?
Low blocks and packed defences by Plums 23 Nov 20:37An alternative is to give them the ball e.g. from throw-ins inside our half to pull them out and then break on them. However, it's an incredibly bold thing to do, especially in as tight a division as the Championship where every point counts.
I'd like us to leave a player or two up at defensive corners to give the opposition something to think about but there must be data that says its high risk as very few teams do it.

If not careful we're going to end up with a scenario where the whistle blows and both sides run away leaving the ball on the centre spot. |  |

It has been noticeable that when we do have the ball at our feet we have certainly sped up the transitions and been a bit braver in terms of choice of pass and running off the ball. Again as yet unclear if this would have been so successful vs teams other than Cov and Stoke. But let’s see. The partnerships look a lot less stilted than they did. |  | | |

That may be a function of having a bit more space, rather than being reduced to probing around the edge of the area while the whole opposition team is concentrated within a quarter of the pitch length.
Wouldn't have thought Leicester will take the above approach today, so we may have similar openings to the last two. | |

Yep let’s see. Hopefully not a false dawn! | | | |

I think that's a lot of it, speeded up look hungry for it, |  | | |

I noticed on Wednesday night that Egeli was spending a lot more time in the centre of the pitch and Núñez was, more than ever, doing his becoming invisible and then popping up unexpectedly (the local commentators for the Hull City game a few weeks ago had started to worry about this right from the start of the second half and look what happened then.) Unfortunately the left side overload didn't get us a second goal against Stoke but a game between the division's tightest two defences might always have been destined to be settled by a solitary one.
With the team clicking more I think McKenna now has the confidence to change the tactical approach for each game and also in-game as well, hence the reversion of Egeli to the more usual right sided role later in the Stoke match. |  |

Indeed, don't think the approach is much different from the one against Sheffield United, Norwich, Portsmouth and similar early in the season. We've been good on the transition when sides try and play football against us all season. |  | | |

Noooo, please don't say that - it'll be a much more peaceful forum if the KM sceptics start thinking that he's finally discovered the all elusive "plan B" they've been hankering after. |  | | |
