Re: Walsall's good start.
I had thought of Darlington as an attack minded coach who was overridden by Keates' defensive strategy. We may be seeing evidence of this under SR.
"Do not lose" actually did work for most of last season in that we maintained a playoff spot up to the point he left. We then tried a more attacking approach without the players to carry it out - and we plummeted. Had he stayed, would our defensive play have kept us in the playoffs? We'll never know.
