Hullfox Posted 24 February 2007 Share Posted 24 February 2007 We have no chance of winning 4-0 against West Brom without playing a high-standard of football. And there wasn't even five minutes of high standard football from Leicester at Burnley, but worse, there was no attempt or intent to play high standard football. I paid a considerable sum of money to see a football match - not a blatant 90-minute exercise in spoiling tactics. If Kelly thinks he can rob me and elicit praise for it because he chanced to steal three points, he's wrong. So for all your moaning week in week out about Kelly, his tactics, his signings, his chosen men, his lack of academy players, why oh why did you go to Burnley on a Tuesday night? Why did you go to the ground where we haven't performed for years? Why did you go to see us play against one of the dourest teams in the league? I suggest that it was to fuel your bitterness. Most of us who were there saw the game for what it was and as RK said scarpered back with the points. And before you pull the soapbox out, yes, i'd have preferred us to play like Brazil and attacked them off the park but, and this is where many of us differ from you, I'll take the three points and win ugly at the moment. Unlike you, I have never rathered that we lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for winning ugly at this moment, when doe's it become unacceptable because I've heard it used by teams heading for the play-offs, teams heading for auto promotion, teams trying to stay in the Premier League. They all say that, and those are positions we are aspiring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike you, I have never rathered that we lose. If I thought losing would make us put an end to such a negative and ultimately hopeless way of approaching our fotball it would be a small price to pay. And if victory is going to help encourage and preserve such an approach then it is doing a disservice to the club long term. If we are going to be successful we have to change it's that simple. And if you believe you somehow do the club proud by supporting such an approach then you're misguided. Every club has its needs but there is a broader responsibility to the game which far too many managers ignore. We didn't just ignore it at Burnley we put two fingers up at it.

Glen_lcfc Posted 24 February 2007 Author Share Posted 24 February 2007 I give up with this thread. So we won but your not happy - your in a very small minority, and by the sounds of it you are probably going to stay there for the near future.

Thracian Posted 24 February 2007 Share Posted 24 February 2007 In fact there are quite a lot of people who recognise we won't get anywhere with the simply hard to-beat but unexpansive, safety-first football we play far too often now and would welcome a more attacking approach. Hullfox and Ultra will always be in an opposite corner - whatever the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
