Funnily enough, my YouTube algorithm, brought up City vs Wolves under Dave Jones' leadership. Wolves had a player sent off and ended up getting thumped 4-0 by the City.Originally Posted by nugent
Going into that game, City were the Championship's highest scorers and Wolves (top of the table) had the meanest defence.
The one noticeable thing about City's play that day, was their movement off the ball and players making themselves available for an outlet.
In the highlights I watched, defenders rarely had to hoof it up field, like they do now. They had midfielders who dropped back to take a short, easy pass, then advance the ball themselves (Scimeca was excellent at this, Ledley not bad too!).
As a side note: Wolves were managed that day by our present incumbent.
