It's not a million miles off the Flitcroft season - where we only had two central midfielders and aimed to bypass them (Dunne and Linganzi - likely one of our worst midfields in terms of on the ball technique). His team were awful to watch, but you could see the idea - get it forward and then see if four forward players could score some goals. I think this team is a bit better than that technique wise, but the evidence is that it can be just as bizarre to watch. It looks bereft of any flow when watching. Holloway's recruitment certainly seems to support it.
They even had Harry Smith up front, albeit he didn’t know how to head a ball back then.
