Much criticism has been made of the Wolves game this season. I only manage to attend a small number of games and the one I got to two seasons ago was the away game against Brentford. My recollection of that game was one in which we defended in depth in the first half, were fortunate to grab a lead goal just before half time and then caught them on the break twice in the second half while continuing to defend deeply for much of that half.
Similarly the games I saw last year were of a team that defended for large portions of games and then caught the opposition with quick breaks. This represents to me the Jackett style and I am surprised at the level of criticism of it now. True the defence seems a lot more suspect this season - which as many have said begs the question why Steerman was sold and the team does not appear to be able to break with the speed that they could last season, hence far fewer goals. This may be more down to the loss of Dicko through injury that to the loss of 'the special one' as I think Graham a more than adequate replacement.
