I can put up with this poor football in the short term if it's absolutely neccessary & it succeeds but at some point I'd just lose interest like many long term blues did under Pearce. A lot of blues I know have still not come back.
Fair point here, and to be honest I too hope the football will become better eventually, however I think that we should first establish ourselves like a top side and then from there evolve to being a top side which plays great football. So I feel a period of ugly wins is necessary to bring us where we want to be, but then it must be followed by a research for a more eye-pleasing style. This is because the basis of a winning side is a tight unit when defending, and when you have that instilled into the players, you can also allow a bit more freedom when going forward because the team will already know what they have to do when the opposition have the ball, so the defending will come natural at that point.
