Why did Chiefy abandon it if it was so successful?

At the end of the day it was a very risky approach, the risk backfired massively, it was a big waste of time. It is the job of those at the very top of organisations to manage risk. It was a wild gamble by a rookie coach who was out of his depth and I think it is a fair question to ask if they would allow such a thing to happen again. 

Edit: also, Chiefy isnt the CEO, Domey is!

I'd say the high line was mostly moderated and then abandoned altogether, as first we were leaking obvious soft goals due to the extreme high line (ie players struggling to adapt) and then Oluwayemi got injured.

Putting aside his horror first half on the weekend, Josh O was showing some signs of getting to grips with being a sweeper keeper up until getting injured. McCarron & then AKH didn't have those few months playing like Oluwayemi with the tactic. They were thrust in at the deep end, so Chiefy started to eventually abandon it all altogether. 

At the end of the day, last season was turgid awful stuff. Tactics had to change. The high line at least meant plenty of action, and goals scored.
