With team selection yes

I didn't like Wagner's general style of play although admit that when it worked well it did work well.

I just feel we sat off teams too much when ahead too often and our lack of control of games was painful.

Ultimately i don't like the 4-4-2 formation which is what we ended up playing a lot of the time. I cannot think of any successful team that plays it. Wagner's tactics were very, very basic.
