I can only assume from the fact we're at 65mins before changes that the long ball tactics so far are a deliberate instruction, which makes me seriously question Wright's judgement, regardless of how this ends up finishing,

Sat right behind him on Saturday, and there was absolutely no doubt he was telling players to play long balls. To the extent that he was genuinely raging when they didn’t. 

We’re starting to see his preferences clearly - 4-4-2, very direct football with ball forward as quickly as possible and very little attempt to build slowly from the back. Much as he always has been. 

If anything, I’m a little surprised at people who were so vocally determined that Wright get the job now raging that he’s doing exactly what you’d expect him to do. 

For what little it’s worth, I actually think it will succeed this season. But fans who think it’s going to be a season of playing beautiful football, I’d suggest they seriously reconsider their expectations. 

We’ll be pragmatic and go route one every time rather than slowing it down and playing passes. That’s what we signed up for though.
