I think we tried to evolve from a team that would let the opposition play (away from home especially) then punish them in transition when we got a chance to a possession based team with O’Nein as a ball playing CB.
The former is still what we are best at which is why when teams come and try to play a similar style against us (Southampton, Stoke, Norwich, Plymouth) we do well. The teams who learned to let us have the ball, mark Clarke, and hit us on the counter have had better luck.
Under Mowbray at least, this was the issue….im not sure what we are supposed to be doing these days but it’s even worse.
