All of this Change the Manager talk

[Statto]

Hodgson's tactics may have been somewhat conservative (which is understandable given we had different expectations in the PL vs the Championship) but what a lot seem to be overlooking is that our passing in that era was still crisp, accurate and fast. We were easy on the eye in possession, and would often build long passing moves, without just passing it back and forth along the back 4. There were commonalities with the Jokanovic era in that respect IMO. The criticism of Parker isn't as simple as just saying we're not adventurous or direct enough.

I agree with this. Hodgson's team were a joy with the ball at their feet; it would be wrong to remember it as anything else.
