CHUNG-YONG Lee believes Wanderers need to cut down on the long ball if they are going to really hit their stride in the Championship.

The Korean winger played his first game in 16 months at the Reebok on Tuesday night, contributing to a nervy 2-0 victory to get the Whites off the mark.

But he admits the pressure to get a first win may have affected the standard of football.

“Both sides were playing a lot of long ball,” he said. “I think that we need to try and pass the ball on the floor more.

“If we can pass a lot we have the quality to easily win games like this. We have some very good players who can pass the ball on the floor very well.

“After the skipper scored, we got confidence and made some good play. I think as each game we play, the better we are getting. The fans were very loud and it is nice to play in the Reebok Stadium .”

A double fractured leg forced Chung-Yong to sit out for virtually the whole of last season as Wanderers dropped through the relegation trap door.

But as he nears full match fitness, the 24-year-old is now relishing the challenge of a promotion push.

“Personally, after my injury, I feel okay,” he said.

“Pre-season was very good for me to play games. Now we are only two games into the league season.

“We all know it is going to be a marathon and are looking forward to it.

“I’m enjoying my football and I am happy. All the squad believe in each other. We know we have the quality to get back to the Premier League.”
