Name some sides that go out week in, week out to play in a manner that is as hard to watch as ours is. When was the last time we won a game where the description “winning ugly” didn’t apply?
We played well within the parameters we set for ourselves at Blackpool, but it was hardly entertaining - efficient is a better way of describing it.
Of the teams we’ve played, Barnsley, who were thought of as very direct last season, produced inter passing in the final third that we could only dream of matching and Peterborough had individuals in attacking areas and forward movement that bettered anything we could offer on those fronts.
