Lincoln City play a version of this and with a very limited budget have been relatively successful with it, oddly they struggled more against lesser teams than top teams and teams above them in the league structure. Where Lincoln struggled was they had the big man upfront in Matt Rhead to get the ball to quickly and had the energy to support him quickly but lacked the quality to finish.
Lots of good and bad things to pull out of above, i suppose what I’m trying to say is limited players can play the system with success, hopefully we will have some better quality to finish.
Secondly and perhaps the bigger point: At their press conference they said this was a long term project etc, perhaps they are looking at this as simple as, this is the style we want the club to play and are willing to accept it might take a couple of seasons to adapt (I have no doubt if possible they want to go up first attempt financially). Whereas fans we are looking at success next week/season)
