To try and discredit a more passing style of footballl because of what happened under Trollope is stupid. The style itself wasn't to blame - it was the manager himself.
Equally can you really just credit a style of football as being more sustainable? There's a bit more to it I suspect. Every team in the Championship passed the ball more than us during our promotion season, including all the relegated and struggling ones. How has this style helped their 5 year plans?
