SCIAGRoyal Ginger Eamon Dolan's Reading making a meteoric rise from the lower echelons with a glorious round of hoofball after we all lose patience with the Adkins' way by Christmas.
I realise that was probably a joke, but Adkins is more likely to play hoofball than Dolan is.

Sorry, that's based on what? He played passing football at Scunny and Southampton. Neither set of fans mention a long ball game.

Adkins is a pragmatic manager. His success with Southampton was based around getting the full backs to hit deep crosses to Lambert. He will mix it up if the occasion demands it, as shown by all those long balls on Saturday.

think of the first team when McDermott first took over and with McAnuff, Kebe and Sigurdsson behind Long.

The only reason you saw longballs at the weekend is because it's all we know, and we can't just impliment a passing game over night. He said it himself. You can't just undo all the hard work that's been done here. So yeah, you'll see some horrible football mixed with some good intentions until the summer, but after that it will be mostly on the floor football. Everyone mixes it up on occasion, but certainly not to the extent you would suggest we'll see more longball under NA than ED.
