What Style of Play Do You expect This Season?

Yea I think there will be when in possession at least, but a more conventional back 4 will be adopted when trying to defend a one or two goal margin and defo in away European ties... Basically I think we will /should have differing styles or at least a tweek or 2 to suit the occasion...

Imho Brendan would perhaps only play with one full back in the inverted position, he wont if we are up against someone with a fast tricky winger...

On tactics.

I still remember when we went down to 10 men v the Huns and BR brought on Edouard after Simunovic got red carded.

I think almost everyone, especially the Huns, expected a defender to come on. An astute tactical substitution imo and a match winning move that won us the game...

Last time around it was excellent to watch first season, good to watch second season and side to side boredom in season three after he seemed to fall out with the board and took the huff.
Listened to the Huddle Breakdown podcast today and they had a Leicester supporter on who pretty much said the same thing happened at Leicester. Started really well then became more and more passing possessed. Became more negative and had a habit of bringing on an extra centre half to defend a lead. He also said he started playing inverted full backs but when they got injured he reverted to conventional full backs.

The first season the football was excellent but that was due to the high press and winning the ball in their final third.
It seemed after season 1, the forwards stopped pressing, we won the ball back deeper, opponents got organised quickly and we fell into possession based football or fir want of a better phrase passing the ball to death
 
As far as how the team is set up, don't know
The style of 'pressing' football has worked for us, this past two seasons, and we have a good base of players that adapted well to that
I think we'll see more of the same in the SPFL, but Europe will be a different matter, where we get caught out by long balls over the top and down the wing, when our fullbacks have gone on the attack
I could be wrong (was wrong once before) but I'm willing to give BR and his backroom staff the benefit of the doubt, and say we'll enjoy the coming season
Well, I plan on anyway, cos there's fuck all I can do about the situation

What I haven't seen is any confirmation that we will play any more than one game in Korea.

As far as I can tell ( I'm not allowed to say much , 10,000 paragraphs I think) , we play wolves only in Korea.

This makes no sense to me , roma and suwon will be there so why not?,
idk call me old fashioned I just thought we might travel to the other side of the world and play a side from there not wolves from down the road 🤷🏻‍♂

Missed opportunity , Suwon v Celtic in suwon world cup stadium sounds like a bigger crowd pleaser than wolves
