It certainly seems less casual than how we've been many times this season, I'll give it that. It also proves that those of us that wanted quicker forward play can have it without resorting to aimless long balls forwards, which is something I'd seen mentioned on here countless times earlier in the season when people tried to counter criticism of Rosenior's playing style as that first started to pick up steam. If it does end up being Walters who comes in then this playing style could be successful. The obvious question marks are whether it would work in this league, whether or not he's a man that can adapt to a plan B on a game by game basis when it'll inevitably be needed, and most importantly whether he can hard wire this style into the players - one benefit of that factor being, thanks to the timing of Acun's decision, Walters would be able to get somewhat of a head start on recruiting players that have this ability from the off. Should be an interesting few months. It'll end up being a different manager now I've bothered to type that.
These are the most basic clips Its from 5 years ago from german third division Championship level teams are not so easily beaten Its a diff level Jeez
Of course these are idealised clips to illustrate a tactic when it works perfectly. I think it will be interesting to see if the players respond differently when the stone is at the wheel and it's not necessarily working like 99% of the time. I honestly don't see it as root and branch different to Rosenior's ideal if I'm honest.
What assumptions? Its a fact It is 5 year old german div And the championship is a much higher level So what is your point
Look dickead. I'm against the sacking of Rosey OK? But wallowing and chucking insults isn't changing anything. You're just reacting to anything and everything now - did it earlier with me on a different thread completely missing the point so maybe have a good cry and go to bed eh?
You trotted Turncoat out earlier. That's just at me, who largely agrees with your sentiment ironically.
In theory it's not different - the difference will be whether we see this sort of play consistently taking effect or not. Time will tell on that one.
I have an already well stated theory that a more consistent level of cohesion takes time, familiarity and stability to achieve on a relative budget. My concern is that time never gets a chance to tell.
Then I wonder what happens? Lots of posession in your own half, trying to force it when the crowd gets restless and getting done in transition by any chance?
When we've 'tried to force it' this season is when we have been successful. When we've 'stuck to the plan' is usually when we've come undone. I'll take almost any tactic that allows us to get the ball forwards quicker and create goalscoring opportunities. The nuances between whatever that looks like and under whom, and how that's looked under some of our better games under Rosenior, we'll have to wait and see.
I honestly don't see it that way. When teams have opened up to come at us or when they've tired and there's space to exploit - we've generally had more legs later in halves against sides where teams have come to sit deep. But when we've forced it against sides like that we've generally generally had to overcommit to try and create and we've been done in transition as a result.
I think we should apply to play in the National League, take all the players with us & score goals for fun. Or maybe the SPL?
