Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Conor Coady has suggested to The Daily Mail that the players know only one way to play.

Coady made the comments following Wolves’ 2-0 defeat to Watford at the Molineux Stadium at the weekend.

The Hornets scored two quick goals early in the first half, and Nuno’s side failed to recover and slumped to a 2-0 defeat.

Even when 2-0 down, Wolves played with a 3-4-3 formation, and defender Coady – who joined the Wanderers from Huddersfield Town in the summer of 2015 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £2 million – has admitted that the players do not know any other way.

Coady told The Daily Mail: “I think if you start changing it gets worse. We are not really used to playing other formations. We stick to what we know.

“We weren’t at the races first half, simple as that. We have to work even harder and put a lot of things right.”

Worrying for Wolverhampton Wanderers

While it is admirable that Wolves and manager Nuno are sticking to their philosophy, perhaps it would better if there is a Plan B and if the team are able to change their tactics and strategies depending on the situations.

After all, playing one way can make Wolves predicable to opposition teams, and perhaps manager Nuno should try to mix it up.
