Thuz a lot of contributory factors to how a game can pan art from opposition set up, conditions, tactics, styles, referees, run ot ball etc.
Key is knowing how to adapt and get a result. We laiked better football than Swansea last week but lost cos we dint cope wi conditions very well. Wiv laiked well ageeanst booarnmuth yet lost four nowt cos we were a bit naive at times and their better quality. Apparently we were very direct today but managed to win the game wi a well worked set piece and a long throw wi a near powst flick on.
Thaz got to appreciate how difficult it is to laik well and get results. We did that all last season. Ar many opposition fans did thy hear sayin Barnsley are a good side after tekkin 3 points off us? A tell thi Nudge it wo nearly ivry week early on last season, pyssed me off summat chronic. Feck that forra game o soldiers.
To be fair wiv laiked some good stuff at times this season mixed wi some more rugged football at times shall we say. A good blend needed to succeed at this level.
A good example of a team that laiks pretty football is Fulham. Scott Parker refuses to change his style and philosophy. I respect him fo his stance but we all know that the likelihood is that Fulham will be relegated.
