Maybe IB's seeming reluctance to use the long/more direct ball, was caused by a lack of pace up front. For all their other attributes, you wouldn't have pace in there with any of Wootton, Roberts or Rodrigues. Sam had pace but couldn't hold down a regular spot. Langstaff has genuine pace and from highlights I have seen, Scott looks quick enough too, so that may well make the more direct option of beating the press possible.
It's gonna be hard for anyone to remember many more than the one or two suggested because there just weren't many. Perhaps no more than other clubs?
It was a bit of myth tbh but it told a nice story.
And that's absolutely fine, I'm totally fine with last ditch clearances. It's when we concede goals that I'm not happy
