When we started this vertical football I hated it. But, it has proved effective to a point. Moving the ball forward quickly doesn't mean it needs to be aimlessly punted forward. I don't mind playing this way IF we're actually going to spray a long ball over the top to a pacey runner or into feet of a hold up player who can bring in the onrushing midfielders. At the moment we're punting in the hope of picking something up. We will soon have to issue neck braces to the forward line. We look far more threatening on the deck running at teams. We are playing percentages and so far it's working OK. I'd like to know if the players enjoy playing it. I don't enjoy watching it but I do enjoy when the percentages work in our favour. Thought Palmer played well when he came on.
If Norwich are Premier league quality, what the **** are they doing playing us? There was very little between us & that was evident by there reactions at full time. If Thomas has kept his head a bit lower & Helik had longer studs, we would have won that.. £10 well spent. Proud of em..
