I always go back to 'tempo' and that is what we more often than not show in abundance. We play at a fast pace and break quickly.
It's not kick and rush.
Yesterday we committed 4 players forward when Brentford's keeper or back 4 had the ball.
It was high risk as it left Bryson and Ralls exposed and they regularly walked through us.
However many many times we forced them into errors and created chances from that.
Brentford DID play some lovely stuff, but it was at the expense of their defending and they were hopeless at set pieces.
It was a thoroughly entertaining game.
Far far better than when we last had a manager who tried tippy tappy and hardly managed a shot on goal per game.
If we are going to change style to be like Brentford or Fulham we might have to accept a relegation and a few seasons in league 1 unless we've got another £100m to blow by replacing virtually all of our squad.
In the meantime I'm loving a hard working exciting side with some real pace and talent for the first time in years- and that includes Malkys time.
