Drewks, I fully agreed with Big Dave’s approach in the matches after Swansea because it was the best way of playing in those matches. Not only could the players play that way but keeping it compact and defensive whilst playing quick on the counter-attack was the way to stop United, Liverpool and Spurs.
The problem that I was referring to is we cannot play that way next season because teams will be doing it to us. Next season we have to play higher up the pitch on the front foot and look to control matches like Fulham do. My worry is whether Big Dave can actually do that successfully.
We saw an element of it against Swansea so now he’s appointed permanently I hope he can with some good signings.
