Brown suggests more direct Vale approach
Assistant manager Michael Brown says the Valiants must be prepared to be more direct in their game against Oxford.
The player coach told the media: “For me, we need to go to the striker a little bit earlier or even turn them around occasionally to mix it up to give us the space to play in.
I think sometimes you have to change the way you go because it is not working…
“I thought in the second-half the boys tried to take that on board. It is something that we haven’t really had to do, but they certainly took it on board in the second half and gave it a good go and we managed to come back in the game.”
“It was new to them how we wanted to go forward a little bit quicker. We do like to play but I think sometimes you have to change the way you go because it is not working.”
