We done it under JE and a bit under WF.From RB to both CB's to LB,so slow and tedious,they would push up on us and we would either welly it to no one or lose the ball and put ourselves under pressure.Just let Day wack it,we won't score messing near our own box but must concede one.

Think the consensus then is
Whack it and hope.
Marvellous.
No need for Wayne to coach them.

As I say, I'd be interested to know if there's any analytics data out there for this level (and if there is, who's creating it and who's using it).

There's loads of it for the Premier League but the footballing standard is night and day even compared to the Championship, football's an O-ring game and at this level everyone's potentially a critical failure point on an off-day, so it must be quite tricky to build any kind of assumptions when players' skill levels vary so much from the relative predictability of Premier League.

I'd LOVE to see some xG stats for League 2 though, both for teams and for individual players, compared to the overall expected goals data, if only to see how players at different levels score and whether worse finishers are offset by worse keepers and defenders, for instance, or statistical proof if being a solid defensive unit is more valuable in L2 than the Premier League.

I think you're rather oversimplifying the argument.

I hope so or its time to give up
