Being direct doesn’t necessarily mean hoofball or abandoning the project to play a more modern style of football.Originally Posted by OurManFlint II
I know next to nothing about Rob Edward but according to Not the Top 20 Podcast, he likes 3/5 at the back and direct football so makes absolutely perfect sense for us abandon whatever "project" we were undertaking after 16 games. Go get him!
It could mean playing through the lines quicker. Liverpool are a lot more direct than Man City for example but they don’t play hoofball.
Edwards was manager of Wolves under 23s and England under 16s I would highly doubt his style is going to be a throw back to Warnock and Mick.
And let’s be honest what was Morisons “project” exactly? Defenders tippy tappying across the back four which apart from padding out the possession stats wasn’t exactly getting us anywhere, we weren’t exactly cutting teams open. Yes the odd good half, the odd good goal but a lot of the time passing the ball with no real purpose just passing for passing sake. That’s as boring to watch as hoofball.
