Perhaps he has an exaggerated misconception of the fashionable virtue of "being positive".
Their is only one stat that matters, and that is putting the ball in the oppositions onion bag more times than you let them do it. And it doesn't have to be pretty, some fantasists would have never watched Athletico Madrid or Argentina if they had to pay, but playing spoiling football, having the players to do it, and organising them fills stadiums if successful as easy as Manchester City being easy on the eye. Win and they will come, not a lot more matters.

I want to see blood and thunder, guts and glory like Penney's red arrows! Every player fully committed, running their blood to water. Crosses into the box, tackles, shots. I know it's out of favour at the minute but flying wingers (McIndoe/Copps), skillful energetic midfielders (Or one of each Doolan/Green) Cult hero strikers (Fortune-West/Blundell) and a SOLID back four (Mulligan/Albrighton/Foster/Ryan) is preferable to fitting bodies into systems to carry out processes. Even the language is boring. Personalities, winners. That's what we need. Saunders bought personalities and winners when we last won the league. It isnt rocket science so stop pretending like it is.

It isnt rocket science so stop pretending like it is. brilliant post. This is exactly what we need. The club need to read the room. It’s exactly what is needed AT THIS CURRENT TIME to get the fans back on side. Something to get pulses racing and people excited. Not the tepid, gutless dross being served up currently. It rubs off on everyone.We can only hope change is afoot in the summer.
