Soaking up the pressure and hitting them on the break...no dramas...

Cruise control. Sit back and bide our time.

I seem to remember we generally won under Adkins when we had low percentage possession stats too, but lost when we had more than 50%

Lol at some people saying that our 19,000 during a cup game on a Tuesday night was bad. Only 15,226 at Burnley today.
