Hard to adjust after the last manager but AN certainly believe's in attack, attack ,attack. Instead of using a defender in a 1-1 he goes for it by bringing on more attackers. Very refreshing. Is this the most attack minded manager we have ever had? Fergie doesn't count as he lacked tactical accumen ☺

Statistically I'd say going all out for a win is a far better option than trying to hold out for a draw. Even if it backfires 50% of the time and we lose a point, the occasions where we get all three points will more than make up for it.

Plus, holding out for a draw can still result in a loss as we've seen so many times!

Absolutely.

Fortune favours the brave.

Long may it continue.
 
Just having a look on Hull forum, one of them said, 'Preston brought on Tyrion Lannister who set up their winner'. I'm assuming they meant 'our' Daryl. Haha

It's great to see positive subs come off like that in what was a very entertaining game.

I like his brand of football a lot.
 
I said this after the game last night and was ultimately key to us winning the game. Make no mistake the previous manager would have settled for a point, put Tommy Spurr on and gone five across the back.

To bring on Harrop, Horgan and Robinson was a gamble that paid off, the players, fans and management all believe that we can win every game and its refreshing and enjoyable to see.

Worth noting Simon Grayson constantly bemoaned that he "didn't tell the players to sit back"...... Hmmmm It is all about mindset and so far Alex Neil is working wonders with it.

Spot on, and by shoring things up at the back wouldn't have guaranteed a point either.
