Resurgence of passing football

Does anyone else think that the resurgence of our passing football has anything to do with pressure from the board on Worthington?

I can't believe that Worthington has changed his whole approach to football after 5 years with us just because of one poor season.

I think Delia must have put an ultimatum to him, start passing the ball or start looking for a new job.

Whatever the reason, long may it continue.
