Quick poll - the results will speak volumes

How many times did our defenders hit long balls to Bradshaw against Norwich?

Oh shit!
Should have read the question.
I thought it was “how many ***** have you *******”

We still play long balls though, sometimes it's the only option and sometimes it's the right option, I reckon those that vote a low number will be very surprised if they watch the game back and count how many.

It was 0-2.

A few long fields cross balls from Cooper and Wallace, but hardly anything if at all went long from a defensive position. Everytime We had the ball at our feet, we played the ball out and created space the move up the pitch.

Go back to when Rowett was in charge, particularly Norwich away. The amount of times it was hoofed long and we lost possession was off the charts.

So if anyone wants to understand what JE is trying to do and has there been progress - the evidence is starting to show itself - IMO we are transitioning to a side that creates opportunities with movement and good passing moves akin to some of the better sides in the division.

Clearly well now get spanked tomorrow and everything will be punted long to Bradshaw

Our goal was passed from our box (after taking it from them), to Flemming then we broke at pace

Something has definitely changed, since the ball seems to be sticking to Bradshaw more often than not. Last couple of games especially. Maybe 'cos its not 3 foot over his head. Just saying.

Bradshaw is starting to look like a handful again. As is Nisbet. It’s because we’re now playing to their strengths.
