Huge difference to long ball football and direct football. A lot on here are thinking we are going to play long ball. We will play a direct style. No faffing about, get it to our counter players who hopefully can run as a 3 or 4 on the counter. This won't always involve hoofing it. Itl still 'long' passes in distance, but not aimless hoofball. Think you're mixing up your long ball, direct and hoofball. Nobody has mentioned hoofball. I think the consensus was long ball as opposed to 15 passes around the half way line?. Long ball surely is 'more direct ', be it measured or a ball played while under pressure. Hoofball is aimless up in the air, which we never do (well not often). If we have a 6'3" target man then surely long ball is going to be a valid tactic? As is a long ball down the wings if we have pace there.

Hopefully this suggests we have sorted another striker Makes no sense unless they are taking over full payment of wages though....!!!

Just seen a town fan saying we are linked with josh king (the striker)🤣 TBF he's 32 next week, the last time he scored double figures was 18/19 and his scoring rate has got worse since... still probably just a name plucked from thin air though.

Could see a world where at home we try to have more of the ball rather than counter so much and do it that way whilst away from home very much trying to hit on the break.he mentioned a couple of times about matos allowing him to play a couple of ways and also that Radulovic allows us to shift in style also. But we don't really have the players capable of keeping the ball. That's been evident for 2 years. We can slowly build that, but until next season, direct for me is our best way. Well we’ve managed to do it better in several of the games since the Bristol game.I’m not suggesting dominate it like a Swansea or a Southampton I just mean get somewhere up to around the 50/50 mark which like I say it’s been not a million miles away since that and including that game at home to Bristol with a couple of exceptions.the 6 games prior to that it was 26,30,25,23,24,23…after that 39,47,54,39,33,43,26(the 26 been Leicester away) So it has crept up and there has been passages of play within those games where we have knocked it around fairly decent.I’d imagine with players coming in we try to do more of that but go direct if need be,like I think you said,not hoofball just getting it up the field quicker.with the players we have yes we won’t ever pass anyone off the park but I just think,especially at home,we will look to get those stats in the 40’s and up to the 50’s more often.

He had his contract ended at a club abroad I read a couple of weeks/months ago. If he comes on the right terms it could be a good gamble

Man, you are a Josh King mine of information. Must be amazing to have such an encyclopedic brain.

The downside is that there are quite a few penalties in there which is no good for us.

I hear we have today agreed a deal for an Striker / Attacker, expected to be at Canalside tomorrow to have a medical and finalize terms, initial loan with option to sign in the summer.
If you were not excited by the last two (I was) then this one should get you all interested again..............
Kevin is here to show us how far he wants to take the team, and putting his money in, with some great investments long may it continue.

Direct doesn't always need to be in the air. Direct also doesn't need to be long. Direct is being quick, playing forwards and putting the ball into space infront of the runners, so then the speed of attack doesn't change. It can also be Direct by drilling into the front man to hold, and then they pass it into space either side of the runners.
