Love watching a winger go past a fullback and get a cross into the box, but an out and out winger is seen as a luxury nowadays.
No sign of Evans using wingers judging in the signing of Jackson we probably should expect a narrow midfield again. With full backs expected to provide the width.I agree. Love a winger who beats a man on the outside and then swings over a ball for the the CF to power home. Jordan Graham looked like he could be that player but he didn't get that much game time.
I can't stand tippy tappy possession football for the sake of it. It takes a seriously good team to make it good to watch (Man City). Even at their peak I found Spain pretty dull to watch as it was possession for possession's sake.
How many times have we seen teams come to Priestfield and pass the ball around only for us to comment how ineffective it is?
Definitely blood and thunder for me. I want towering headers from the back, crunching tackles in midfield and a battering ram up front. I also think it's what our fans respond best to.
"Get into 'em, f*** 'em up!"
The most pleasing on the eye football I've seen at Gills were at home under Stimson, and Edinburghs first full season in charge. Those campaigns ended in relegation, and going from top of the league at Xmas to not even making the playoffs. Both of those sides got found out and didn't know how to change it. Countless big teams have come down from the championship in recent years and have expected to piss the league by playing good football, they soon realise it doesn't work. You have to able to mix it in this division, give me a team of hard bastards fighting all game for 3 points any day. Our club, ground and fan base is set up for the siege mentality, us against the world approach. Hit them early and hit them fucking hard. Ahhh fucking hell open the stadiums Boris you ****! UTG
