Were we playing a high press game? Did we catch teams out with this style of play. Ultimately, what changed? Was it linked with Dodds leaving and a new defensive Portuguese coach making us more protective? Is this important as we approach the play-offs? Or, have we adapted a new style of play under RLB which will see us promoted? In my opinion we were a high pressing team with a lot of early success. I'm not sure what happened, but I'm hoping we have evolved into a team that will win promotion. Hhhaaa'wwwwaaaaayyyyyy the lads.
We weren’t an all out pressing machine. We did against Sheff Wed (H), and Portsmouth (A), but we were very stand off against Boro & Burnley at the SOL. The difference between then and now is the speed of play. When we did have the ball, we popped it around quickly and got at teams. A lot was down to the fact Mundle always tried to beat his man when he had the ball. Roberts cuts in a lot more and recycles possession, and without a proper LW we’ve been imbalanced and struggled. Having Mundle back is huge for us.
