Pot noodles for everyone

After half a season of watching BHA in the Championship I think the advice has been:
1. Hassle the players at every opportunity. Knees, elbows, arms - the lot. This got Adkins full rewards when we played them at St Marys and is the number one contributing factor towards our bad disciplinary record. We don't seem to be able to retaliate cleverly enough. Even yesterday Greer got punched in the face near the end of the second half after a sliding tackle. Ref and lino saw nothing.
2. Close down Ankergren quickly. He is apt to punt it hopelessly when under pressure
3. Man mark Noone. The Watford player had Noone in his pocket at Vicarage Road.
4. Field as big a side as possible. We seem to have the smallest side (in stature) in the league and we are often out-muscled because of it.
....any others?
I just hope that we are learning from these tactics ready for the second half of the season.
