Birmingham doing that tried and trusted Albion thing of last season - always looking to play the ball backwards before they ever contemplate playing the ball forwards. Stephens would slot RIGHT in there

Perhaps the reason knockaert has gone? Seems like we're quickly passing it around up top with one touch lay offs and plenty of movement .....not necessarily knockys style of relentlessly taking the man on (sometimes one too many times)

March and trossard looking very good together
Thanks [emoji106]
He might be the player the Potter squeezes in all the time no matter what position he ends up playing.

I bet he'd be brilliant against teams at the bottom of the Championship, yeah.
Stockdale too big for Murray to run round....

Noticeable how central his role has become at times. In some secondary attacks he becomes our centre forward.

Strange to see Stockdale turn out against us even now.
Trossard playing across the front line brings Locardia into play and March at wing back looks the business.
Not convinced 3 at the back will work though. Looking k a little too open

Yep, we looked shit for 8 minutes.

The one thing I have taken from the first half against Fulham and so far today is that there have been patches whereby it is the most entertaining interplay I have seen in 30 odd seasons of watching pre-season friendlies. Yes poor defending from the opposition. Yes, giving it away a lot and struggling with the formation at times. But there are more instances of technically gifted players being allowed to be technically gifted players. More players forward more often. More players looking happier in the role they are given.
You can see in glimpses why the change was made and a sense of what could be if it comes off. The big unknown is if we can play in this style against PL teams and we will be none the wiser until Watford as Valencia will play a different style. But it does look like we got what a lot of people wished for - more entertaining pattern of play. Let's hope it isn't a case of "be careful what you wish for" because this could be good.

Last week beat Fulham 2-1 at the Cottage.
