I don't think MM wants us to play like Stoke or copy their tactics. What I think he meant from his comments is that he wants us to emulate Stoke's success last year in staying up!
If you think MM is going to play "Long ball, hit & hope type tactics" then you will be in for a surprise! SEB and Doyle are not the tallest of striker's and not suited to the long ball game. MM will try and use the wings, when possible, to get behind defences and have SEB and Doyle coming onto balls instead of having their backs to goal. If we were going to play long ball stuff all the time he would have signed that 6ft 7 Austrian chap. Long ball will be an option if Iwelumo plays. _____ From: nswolves@googlegroups.com [mailto:nswol...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Marcus Chantry Sent: Monday, 10 August 2009 11:48 AM To: nswolves@googlegroups.com Subject: [NSWolves] Re: Weekend results? If you found Stoke entertaining last season then it seems like you will be entertained by us this season. Mick has made it clear that he intends to copy Stoke's tactics this season. Long ball, hit & hope type tactics. I don't think it's going to be pretty but I don't really care as long as we get enough points to stay up.

Personally, all I want is for us to play attacking football and entertain all of us here watching on TV. If we are unlucky and do go down at the end of the season then at least we will have gone down fighting. _____ From: nswolves@googlegroups.com [mailto:nswol...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Marcus Chantry Sent: Monday, 10 August 2009 11:40 AM To: nswolves@googlegroups.com Subject: [NSWolves] Re: Weekend results? I haven't entered full pessimism mode yet as I want to watch them with my own eyes on Saturday night. Then I'll have Premier League evidence as to whether we've got enough gumption to stay in the division. We should hopefully be able to take a point or more playing at home to a potential mid-table team like West Ham, but I'm struggling to find many positives from the pre-season results & reports. But I'll not be disheartened until I've watched us perform on TV.

Good wind up Marcus. How long did you sit next to JIWAL in Perth?
