100%, if you would choose quality of football over winning then I don't know what to say to you

Agree. Whats the point of trying to play like Barcelona or Brazil every week if you lose every game and get relegated ? The stadium would soon be empty and people would be queuing up on here to request the manager be sacked.

You cant play decent football and win?

There is no future in hit and hope football in the modern game.

There is of course a place for the long ball, mix it up though.

And we are mixing it up Jim, we’ve been knocking it about quite frequently lately. Some of our longish balls have been played with a purpose rather than hit and hope, Murphy’s long cross for Bennett’s winner at Rotherham was spot on. We’re the second highest scorers in the division, they can’t all have been from free kicks, corners & throw ins, some have been beauties. I like good football but knocking it back and forth without any progress is mind numbing to me, different if you’re Man City and the passing moves you up the pitch and invariably ends up in the net but we can but dream to attain that level. Becoming a ‘square ball’ team would leave me cold and that’s how some teams have played against us, not for me. The ball in the back of the net is the be all and end all really and we’re not doing too bad in that respect.

You can but you have to buy people like Ronaldo and Messi then pay them £250K a week each.
Sucess is the point and that's why there's a danger that we could lose MM - Sucess is a valuable commodity .

Meanwhile, the top 6 is dominated by teams that play a bit of football. No one has suggested we try to be Barcelona or Brazil. Even ****ing Barnsley are better than us.
