Vital 1st Team Regular
I felt like the early wins under Harris this season were appalling to watch, but more importantly it felt like we won DESPITE the way we played. We created nothing yet flukes a goal, but knew before long our luck would run out.So you want pace, power, strength plus excitement too? You don't want much, do you?!
I'd be up for whatever it takes to get us out of the basement, or exciting and attractive football.
Like you, I'm inclined to think we need pace, power and physicality to succeed in this division. But if SC can get us promoted playing football the 'right way' (imo, this means the passing game, predominantly on the deck rather than in the air) it'd make me very happy. I'm not convinced he (or many) can achieve this, but I'm more than happy for him to be given a full pre-season and season to attempt try.
There are no guarantees and this applies to either SC or some new manager. It seems to me that a lot of our fans lack patience, which is a strange thing given our history.
We have so far played ineffective hoofball and ineffective tippy-happy football. It doesn’t matter what style you play, if you play it shit then you won’t leave this league.
Hoofball to a lone, immobile striker surrounded by giants won’t work. Tippy-tappy football with no movement above the defenders won’t work.
I feel tippy-tappy football will be ok in this league as many strikers) aren't mobile enough for a high press.
