Like quite a few modern coaches, at times Sheffield Wednesday's Danny Rohl comes across as a footballing evangelist when he talks about his 'philosophy'.
In Tuesday's first half at Hillsborough, Rohl's philosophy was going down like a lead balloon. Goalkeeper James Beadle got away with it when his poor kick picked out Norwich City midfielder Marcelino Nunez in the ninth minute, but not when he did it again less than minutes later. Nunez found the net to double a lead Norwich had established when Bambo Diaby failed to head a long throw-in away and Josh Sargent ran off Akin Famewo to score.
'I just had a joke with their manager and I said he's the German Tony Pulis with how he played,' chuckled Norwich manager David Wagner in reference to the former Owls manager notorious for long-ball tactics. But just Paterson's energy - nothing as compared to Rohl's leaping in frustration along the touchline early in the second half - won back the crowd.
