Success or Entertainment?

[sirpiechucker]

Can we have both or do we have to choose between the two?

3pts first, performance second.

Might as well go for entertainment for the remainder of this
season because I do not see us finishing in the top six anyway.

I see no reason why we can't have both!
There has to be an acceptance that being a more offensive side with a host of flair players will cause us to ship a few more goals.
I have noticed a section of message board posters (various sites) whom are suggesting that we managed to keep plenty of clean sheets last season with these same players and automatically aligning that to one manager being superior to another - those same posters however, fail to allude to the more attacking style and resultant positive goal difference which would suggest a different slant to the superiority arguement.

I prefer this style and have been so much more entertained this year than last and will advocate a tactic of Kevin Keegan where we need to score more goals than the enemy to win games - then sit back and enjoy the ride - and of course learn to take the rough with the smooth.

My own personal opinion only of course, which makes me neither right nor wrong, stupid or genius

Oh I was very optimistic about a month ago but we just cannot sustain a run of results good enough for promotion. Wanna bet we will finish 7th or lower? Thought not. :tired:

3pts first but I prefer us to get them in a entertaining manor. If we don't gain promotion, automatically or via the play off then at least it's been entertaining as apposed to watching a load of defensive football

This season has tested a point I made many years ago to an Arsenal supporter, when I said I wouldn't want to watch their boring 1-0 everygame. Well we have the opposite lately where we destroy teams and draw. I walked away from Palace and Coventry annoyed but not seething like I have many matches over the last 15 years or so. So on balance I would rather have entertainment.

[sirpiechucker]

Barcelona have proved you can have both. But to have a successful entertaining side you need to score more than you concede meaning that you need predators in front of goal.

success....

[SirLes]

I'm entertained when we win. Winning leads to success.

I will take that bet

[MYU]

We can have both and the amount of shots we have on another day would have walked into the back of the net.

We can score 4+ goals in games, we've seen it and Coventry could have been another but they just got lucky!

[Kirill]

I will take that bet

I am sure many here would,
but my point is I bet Ade won't
