But we don't have a style. We don't play that way more often than not which is why we've lost so many home games to crap teams.We have a style of play that maximises the strengths of the squad and mitigates the weaknesses. Whether you like that style or not, is irrelevant.
With the addition of better attacking players we can change the style of play. If we had "something in place" by which you use as a euphemism for "entertaining to watch" then we could well have been relegated this season.
I'm not bothered about entertainment, I'm bothered about winning. It just so happens that usually, the better you are at playing footy, the better you are at winning games.
Our 'style' (which isn't actually in place because we've only managed to do it in away games with no fans there, and just scraped by) relies on a hell of a lot of luck, and moments going our way.
We can't pass to each other, the movement is dreadful, everything is backwards or sideways - and that's even when we play this style which you think we have.
So no, we've got very little to build on in terms of a structure, and that's a problem. Now, better players will make it easier, but how many better players? Because if we bring in 6-7 this summer, which again it looks like we need, we're going to have the same issues of bedding people in etc, hoping to avoid injuries.
There is no defending it, it's awful. The one thing we have is that we've got some monkeys off our backs. Whether that was just down to a lack of fans, or was some masterclass from Carlo (in certain games, I think he got it spot on btw, Anfield, Elland Road etc, brilliant tactical performances and hard effort from the players) we'll find out when we go to those places next season.
