Would most football fans settle for seeing their team winning by playing the long ball on a regular basis?
Most would tolerate it but be up in arms every time we lost. I prefer our current approach as at least we're playing some good stuff even in defeat and developing in a controlled, assured way. To watch a game literally waiting for the opposition to miss a header or crumble under constant assault would bore the shit out of me.
What interests me is that when we were in the leagues above, the long ball approach was the cheap option for the troubled clubs that needed a quick fix to stay up or get out of the division.
In this league however to play that way seems to cost the big bucks as most can get a team of thugs, but need the finesse of a few quality money players to open the games where the howitzers don't work (i.e. Jarman)
