It won't make a tac of difference when players are back if the method of play and tactics don't change. You cannot constantly win games or even pick up points when you are happy to have so little of the ball and allow teams to completely outplay you. You will get the occasional freak result but long term find yourself in all kinds of trouble. Brighton played 300 more passes then us yet we beat them 3 1, that's an outlier not normality as we have since found out, but hey that's nothing to do with the manager, it's all injuries
