Nevertheless, Neil Harris said he changed things back again and, for me, that means he had given up on trying to play more football because, for whatever reason, the team weren't managing to do what he wanted.
The typical pattern in our first dozen or so matches last season was that we'd start off passing the ball around aimlessly, concede the first goal, and then go more direct as we chased an equaliser. We regularly had more than 50% possession of the ball! However, the results were poor and it wasn't surprising that Harris decided we might as well play hoofball straight from kick-off.
