While the gloom has lifted around England's prospects of reaching the World Cup after their 4-1 hammering of Montenegro on Friday, manager Roy Hodgson says his approach has not altered in the face of criticism throughout the campaign.
.
England faced a storm of condemnation about their conservative play after the goalless draw with Ukraine last month, a result that left them needing to win both their remaining qualifiers against Montenegro and Poland to book an automatic place in Brazil.
.
On the back of Hodgson's surprise decision to give Tottenham Hotspur winger Andros Townsend an international debut, England threw off the shackles as they scored four second-half goals against Montenegro to complete half the required task.
.
They now lead Ukraine at the top of Group H by one point, with many hailing their attacking approach as something new under Hodgson's leadership, a point he disputed.
Even if England are in the World Cup already I don't really think they'll do much when the competition begins. Rooney is a fantastic player tho
