Hate it but do we go down as **** or stay up as boring?

It doesn’t matter what way of playing you have, you have to play it well to get results.
Playing direct football badly is as damaging as playing out from the back badly.
Remember way back when we were going down under the management of Peter Taylor, things were not going to good.
Steve Thompson took over as manager and played Route 1 football, straight down the middle, running straight at there defence.
We went from 18th to 9th in the league, and Gary Jones who was quite an average player was suddenly terrifying the opponents defence, and was banging the goals in left, right and centre.
Sadly the following season Steve Thompson was poached by the big bright lights of Notts County.
Point being, we can still get out of this, play something out of the ordinary that opponents are not expecting, 4 up front, defence keeping a very high line, so all 10 players are all there abouts each other. Urrrhhhh.
Dont play from side to side, and then back to the keeper again. Urrhhhh.
If you are going to loose the ball, loose the bloody ball by attacking their goal, not because you lost the ball by doing a stupid back pass or what ever. Urrrhhhh !!!!!!
If we are to go down, lets do it by running forward and attacking,
not by running back or side to bloody side. Urrrrhhhh !!!!!!!
If you are going to go down, then go down fighting as if our life depended on it, not like a lilly pussy footed, what ever. Urrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!
Do you remember as kids in the play ground, all shouting FIGHT - FIGHT - FIGHT - FIGHT, and being all pumped up.
Maybe Sol should make our team all shout the same, to put some fire in the players belly before they kick the ball to get them all pumped and ready to win the game.
UUrrrrhhhhhh !!!!!!!
RANT OVER.
That's because despite his size Humpreys is useless in the air, so playing it long just results in even more possession for the opposition, Hopper should be able to knock it down for a strike partner making it more effective.didnt work for us under Chirs Powell

Getting the ball forward early doesn't have to be route 1.
It just means not fannying about at the back. Just getting it into midfield quicker and pushing up to support.
