Unfortunately there are opposition teams who can exploit this fairly quickly and there is a reason teams quickly drop it.

Even when trollope was appointed and we signed emyr huws people were excited about us playing 2 number 10s like wales at the time etc. .. remember the revOLEution? Based on fast running football like man u. Sounded so easy.

Morison is a joke figure now but many wanted him appointed for months before he was.

To quote Mike tyson- everyone has a plan until they are punched in the face.
So the only way we can play is the boring, defensive, set piece dependant stuff we’ve been watching for the last three seasons?

A club like Plymouth can develop a team which plays far more football than us in about two seasons, we’ve had to abandon attempts to play a more progressive game in recent years because the senior players weren’t up to the task - what an admission of defeat that we seem to think we can only play one way.
