A very fluid one

Hooper and Grabban up front but Grabban was all across the front line. Wes was mostly in the middle. The full backs pushed on a lot and when they did Johnson dropped even deeper to make a third centre back. We concentrated on moving the ball fast. Ruddy mostly threw out when he could. Very different to all that shuffling forward and back as unit that we had under Hughton and, to a lesser extent, Adams. Very high tempo in possession and I think the players' fitness is not quite up to it yet. When that happens and when they get used to the new way of playing we will be devastating in this league.
