This is not such a shock for me. I said it at the time, our general "tactics" were like this in League One. Only difference being we had the personnel to make it look like we play the football that KJ tries to paint a picture of. To a certain extent it was the same last season. Ipswich at home it really shown. All that may seem like an exaggeration, and it may well be, but I have been almost obsessed with watching our back line and general pressing ever since KJ took over in 2013, and the reason why I have is because it stuck out to me SO MUCH. Playing Stevenage at home and standing off 10 yards with only the wide players and centre forward pressing tells its own story.
Jackett is Pulis lite, however, I am not sure even Pulis would have shut up shop in the cowardly way he did, 2-0 up with 10 minutes to go against the worst side in the league. The worst thing about it is that Kenny hides behind this in interviews, he lies and spins more than Moxey. Take his post match comments tonight, you would have thought he was the manager of the opposition.
It is horrible, I hate it, but until major changes at the very very top happen, or unless KJ resigns himself, we are stuck with it.
