Good analysis of Ainsworths "tactics" in his time at the club...definately a read for those who look a bit deeper that just the starting 11 Out of possession evolution under Ainsworth – Analysis Wednesday, 3rd May 2023 17:05 by Dan Lambert In his final LFW column of the season, our resident Dan Lambert looks into how Gareth Ainsworth has stemmed the bleeding, conceding and the losing, despite posting sub-20% possession stats in recent victories at Burnley and Stoke. The overriding feeling after Stoke at the weekend was relief for simply staying up. It’s been a poor season but thanks to our recent flurry of results, including back-to-back away wins, we have secured Championship status for another season. What has been obvious to me across Ainsworth’s games has been the evolution of our approach out of possession across the eight weeks he has been in charge. We’ve obviously seen the recent extreme of our 4-4-2 mid to low block where we’ve set up to sit, compress space and hit teams on the counterattack with a mere 18% possession but that has evolved over time. I’ll detail the change across games from the start at Blackburn at home all the way to Stoke away as well as dissecting the recent two results, how our out of possession approach ‘won’ us the game and where we can go from here. https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/queensparkrangers/news/60181/out-of-possession-evolution-under-ainsworth-–-analysis
Could you stick that blue touch paper up his arse … ‘cos he needs a lot more fire before he stops of here with his big money contract
Very good analysis. Shows there's more to GA than hoofball tactics. No real arguments as the defence and out of possession performance has improved, although I accept it is not to everyone's liking.
A pissy rainy night but one of the best night games I've been at. Ended up getting a night bus home after missing last train but could've walked on water...
