Fair. I'm certainly not beyond saying RLB can get things wrong. He did take too long to change things away at Man U when we were getting hammered at 1-0 down and it should have been changed ASAP before it got to 2-0 and we didn't. We then changed once we went 2-0 down and made a fist of the game. If we'd changed it sooner we may have got something out of the game.
Overall though, I see progression for us as being about evolution rather than revolution. Most of what we've done this season has been effective with the squad we have and we can't/shouldn't seek to change too much, too quickly and we could go backwards.
Having more physical, pacey wingers looking to run in behind and tussle with full backs whilst chasing balls down played in behind the opponent's backline (ala Brentford with Schade and Ourttara) would help us a lot however. That should suit the way we play a lot of the time where we like to be deep rather than pressing opponents in their own half. Crucially, it would give us a more direct route out from the back and stop us short passing our way into trouble when we are under a high press like against Forest.
Obviously coaching the team to play to those tactics will still be needed but right now I think the issue is we don't have many, if any, wingers available who have the combination of strength and pace to do that. Maybe Angulo? The likes of Rigg and Le Fee are the last sort of players who you would look to do that with.
