A reference to Maric's rumblings?

Using the bible, Championship Manager strategy! I would say we played a direct style. We're not a purist footballing passing side nor a hoof it up front missing out midfield all the time side.

We mix it up as and when the right way is necessary, which all great teams have done.

Not really long ball, but there again last season for large parts the style we played was godawful!

Not towards the end of the season. Reckon that Bobby experimented with keeping a much higher line and the football was IMO much much better. We may have lost the Chelsea semi-final, West Ham away game etc.- but we dominated those games and others. We lost through weakness in central defence.
Bliddy heartening and I'll be at SJP to see this continuing!!
