As you say, we haven't got the players to change style and go direct, other than putting a centre half upfront, but who's fault is that?
Well, I think it's mainly the fault of Chapman's absence. Mowbray recognised he provided something different, and his injury has been a pain.
As for going direct, I have no problem with it, but who would you drop to make it possible, even if we did have a Peter Crouch: Dack, Armstrong or Graham? They've all been prolific scorers.
I just think you find it hard to accept that not every game is going to go our way. Sometimes, another team's "negative" tactics actually work!
