    Makes you wonder though if Dodds can see things different tactically then why did TM not or did he and just choose to ignore it? I don’t think it’s a coincidence how we played tonight he changed players and everyone had a job to do. Brought in non regular starters and then switched second half. That’s not by chance nor is it sneaking a lucky result he’s outwitted Farke.

    He was outstanding, not just in his own performance but in the way he organised the team. He was absolutely crucial to Dodds' tactics being implemented to the letter.

    If Dodds doesn't end up as head coach we need to make sure whoever does is willing to listen to him and take his advice on board. The bloke really knows his stuff.

    Knows his stuff and the club. Obviously has the respect of the squad too. We’ve had a fair few players with us on this journey back up the league, Dodds has been involved with that too.

    I wouldn't have said we parked the bus. But we did stifle their usual play. Something we've seen done to us plenty this season. Was a tremendous performance but we definitely road our luck a little.

    The way KLD and KS have transformed this club is nothing short of incredible.

    Not to be ageist as such but I think a younger manager like Will Still for arguments sake is very data driven and that will work with the clubs ambitions. Watch the PL and you’ll see when teams concede the first thing the manager/assistant does is check the iPad they have on the bench then start analysing stuff. Mate of a mate of mine has just got a very very well paid job at a PL club not far from us basically analysing opponent data and they have a few of them in and around the dugout every game. C*nts even appear in their team photo <doh> shows how important they are now though.

    I just couldn’t see TM setting up the way we did tonight and bringing in Ba, Pritchard and Seelt. Really brave from Dodds and something that I can appreciate. Wish TM had the balls to do it. Sometimes we don’t need to have 70% of the ball.

    Yeah 100% mate. Had the feel of a 1-0 as the game went on. Just wasn't sure who'd get it.

    Was not parking the bus at all. We sat deeper yes, because of the pace and quality attack they have. We were clever when we had the ball, made the right decisions, still got forward in numbers and created the far better chances in the game, reflected in the xG stats. Farke got out done today, our players played the plan perfectly, it happens no need to be bitter

    I think Dodds needs to have the gravitas to deal with the media. I've seen great coaches collapse.KS knows the score. I'll go with his judgement.
