I'm most certainly in the minority but I quite like the ball going into the box. We don't play like that I know but I wouldn't mind a few more crosses into the box at times for Jay to get on the end of. Possession is great but we do struggle with the cutting pass, most likely as the forwards rarely make that special run that you see with the top, top players.

Looking at the goals scored column would seem to say we are doing ok

Plenty of balls being delivered into the box.
Mainly by our wide players after slick passing movements.

It's made us top of the league, the champ's leading scorers, and filled our ground.

Is it Mee's 80 yard lump to Barnes and Wood you're still pining for? I'd be happy never to see another of them. Ever.

Did you ever see any of them live at Turf Moor or just on tv screen?

Are you sure people don't want direct football?

Sheffield United supporters are absolutely loving their style of play at the moment.

They seemed to really enjoy the way they played against us and reading their main forum. Aside from the Rotherham game they seem happy at the moment.

Winning tends to supercede any style of play. Take the appointment of Nathan Jones at Southampton. If they survive comfortably his style of play will soon be forgotten.

Seen every game at Turf Moor bar 2 this season...(plus Wigan and Sunderland).. an 800 mile round trip for each one. I think you'd be better finding someone else if you're looking for a "" proper fan"" argument.

Ben Mee didn't do too badly today with his 80 yard lumps forward! :D
