Look at the teams above us and they are mostly dominant in possession.

Should we be breaking play up a bit more with some sneaky fouls ?

Are we a bit naive?
Not everyone's cup of tea but there was a quote about 10-15 years ago about WWE wrestling which may have some relevance. One person said the show had gone from people pretend violence and viewers believing they were really hurting each other to real violence and viewers assuming it was all pretend.

We are getting criticised for being a Warnock side without getting any of the benefit from that. We're a poor man's attractive football side really. Even against Wolves at home last year we were more determined to shake off a reputation rather than do anything to win.
