Nowhere near as much long ball as Lambert

They don't have a Holty target man so it would be pointless. They played it on the ground. I think we'd like to get it through midfield quicker (and in the main have done this year) but our midfielders don't do a good enough job movement wise of finding space to enable an early forward ball.
