I suppose it all comes down to what we want from the club. I love to watch good, flowing football and after watching the last two home games I've come away feeling elated that we won but cheated because of the performance. Unfortunately if we want to get back in the league then maybe we have to put up with these kind of games until the end of the season. The worrying concern for me is that " IF " PH gets us promoted then will he still adopt the same style in League 2? If he does then he will lose a lot of support and that coupled with maybe a higher playing budget to maintain that level could produce major financial concerns for the club
I think that worries a lot of people and they are also worried that the style of play will not keep us up in L2 very long either. However, if we are promoted then PH must get the chance to do his thing mustn't he? It's only right that he should. He may prove to be as clever as Dave Penney who brought Doncaster back into the league with one style and up the leagues with another. We just don't know for certain. We might not like it but this is squeaky bum time so we just have to hold on, accept the style and the 1-0 wins and hope we are a league club in August. Then we go from there.

And we're also the team with the most shots on target. If McKeown has made more saves than any other keeper in the division, that says a lot about our defence which is decent but not as good as our record might indicate.
Interesting to see that Akinde has committed more fouls than any other player in the division! Obviously likes to use his bulk to as much effect as possible.

Think Fishoutofwater got it spot on when he compared this style of play to Sladeisace style. It was dull then and it's dull now. It does though to a point, get results, it's just a bit dull. It does also stifle creativity; for Neilson read Pinault. The main issue of it is that it requires the opposition to come at you a bit, when this doesn't happen, especially at home, it becomes turgid. It's perhaps on these occasions we need an effective plan B, one where we dictate the pace of the game rather than the opposition. I'm too tactically dumb to suggest how you'd do that, but PH should be able to work it out. Therein lies peoples frustrations I think, as he doesn't seem to know how or even sometimes want to do so.

I think you ought to read more. I have stated ad nausea that I believe this is a good squad and also that I feel that we are too negative at home. As pleased as I am with today and the rest of our away form, I'm still fearful that our home form will cost us. That's why the thread Time to Believe, because it can be done and everyone from the chairman done needs to be positive.
