Or Tactics!!
Been reading elsewhere about a tendency to still occasionally resort to hoofball, rather than playing it on the deck, fast first time passing.
And I was thinking what the spoiler clubs like Direby can do to stop the beautiful game.
And it occurred to me that Ollie, magician that he is, has realised that the way to stop us is to try what Ipswich tried, a high line for the defence, and very defensive midfield, basically trying to swamp out our passing with sheer weight of numbers.
But if you still have to guard against the ball over the top, either from Gilks or Evo's specialist Hail Mary, the defence has to sit back to cope, and this opens up the mid.
Am I talking rot, or do you think there might be something in it?

We could talk tactics all day, but their is something there. I think teams will be more scared and looking at us, rather than us looking at them, not saying Ollie won't do his research but teams especially at Bloomers will set out and stiffle us in the centre midfield area and push up hence the high line but with our pace and quality of passing , one ball over the top and were in, ala Matty for Dickho's goal! Away from home will be interesting and i think we will have better luck against the top sides as the emphasis is on them to come at us and that could be costly. now i don't know if im spouting twollocks!!! ah well!!

The Pace of the side is the key and must be a nightmare for any team to defend against, as most teams will now try and flood the midfield but one chip over the top and away we go. Teams will try and swamp us put the high line they play will soon be exposed and i think a lot will panic and start changing there tictacs halfway through a match and will just cause them more problems
