The style we play is cowardly and we are in no way, prepared to take on the opposition. The brave managers, coaches and players, are the ones who are attempting to play the right way, in a style that is sustainable in so many different ways. Recruitment, development, long term progress, selling players on at a profit.
We rarely improve a player, none of our managers go on to better things, and our success is short lived. That's because of the way we play.
The way we play is easy, effortless, it's a cowards way out. Players not allowed to get on the ball and test themselves, as they would have been encouraged and taught to do as youngsters.
The passing and movement style of play is much more difficult to master than the way we play. Other clubs are brave, our club is shit house.
