For me, we lost our last two games mainly because our opponents started quickly...we were looking to play slowly and ease into the games but intercepted passes put us behind early on. We couldn't raise our game or change our style. To beat The Owls we must learn and start more positively and have greater purpose..Can BP coach the team this way? He has his ways but I'm hoping he's big enough to change - we need. 3 points and a performance on Saturday.. COYA

We started the season with a higher tempo especially against derby when we played some really crisp stuff . It's not that we don't want to play high tempo it's more the opposition cut off our supply in order to play that way . We started playing well in the second half against Fulham when they stopped pressing

I don't think we can andy no, Peters doesn't want to lose games so won't take chances.

Part of the playing style of BP is a slow and patient build up from the back. Opponents counter by pressing us high up top. Now the plan B would be to vary the tactic i.e. to continue the tactic but with the variation of channel balls seeking to bypass the pressing intentions and getting behind the pushed up back 4. Igor would have more than enough pace to capitalise and so would Ahearne Grant albeit without the same ability to turn it to his advantage. Variation is the key!  |

This patient build up play from the back is very European and suits Bob and the players he has brought in. So I think it unlikely that it can change except for brief periods during a game. Not certain how comfortable with this tactic the British players are, not in their DNA

We can, but we only seem to do it in the second half when we're trailing.

Slow, slow, quick,quick,slow seems to have worked quite well so far this season.

We certainly gave it a go in the second half at Fulham.
I thought we played well with no end product but if Vetokele had been on the pitch, who knows?
