I think it was Tommy Smith (ex Watford) Snoots and I heard that too. Bmuff played a similar way last season and got promoted, so it can be done. However, you need very good and intelligent players to play it - that's where we fall down slightly. We have a few 1st teamers that you wouldn't change, a la Lynch, Paterson, Wells, but too many of our 1st team is made up of average Championship standard players, which will only just about secure our status in the Championship season on season.

I like the idea of playing out from the back, but there are occasions where this isn't possible, i.e. opposition pressure. The players need to be intelligent and assess this throughout the game, so they can mix it up a little. Besides, if teams are going to press us high on our goal kicks then this should allow more space in midfield and attack to exploit. A lot does come from Steer, who I think is capable of playing this style, but we do need more from him.

I hope Wagner can see our flaws with the more experienced members of the team and the younger players will need more time to adapt. We do need many players in the summer, probably a player in each position that is better than their replacement in the current team (not too much then!) The issue is whether we can get or even afford these players, regardless of whether we need and/or want them or not!
