I'm already fed up with teams passing the ball around in their own box from a goal kick. I know the rule has only just changed but all these clubs have started doing it. Pass the ball around about seven times until one of them gets cornered then back to the 'keeper who lumps it up field. 7-0 on possession but absolutely worthless.

I'm not sticking up for it but i think that you're being very simplistic. I think that we need to remember that this style of play is very new in this country and even newer at champioship level so i think that it's fair to say that it isn't quite working for alot of the teams that are attempting to implement this style just yet. I don't think it's difficult to see that it's not just about possession but attempting to draw the opposition out at the earliest opportunity, if it doesn't work then start again and so on....It's going to take a few years before players are comfortable with it and where the quality is there. I'd say that since this brand of football came in, the UK is starting to produce young players who can and will compete at world level. Remember 10-15 years ago when England and Wales were nowhere near it? It does look boring and for the sake of it, but when it does come off and players become more comfortable with it then i reckon that we will witness some wonderful football.
[QUOTE=splott parker;5009396]You know me Steve, I’m quite happy with how we play and laugh normally when opposition managers go on about how they deserved to win because of their possession.
However last night I did actually think we got lucky and were generally 2nd best. So this time ( unlike Luton, Fulham Boro and Huddersfield who flattered to deceive) I can sympathise a bit with their frustration at not getting something from the game .. not for long though 😂
Defensively though we were excellent and they were poor, it’s not just about what you do with the ball, but also what you do without it.
And some of you thought us lot were bad, angels compared to tne bitters
