Millsy My point is the reason we have so few draws is we play exciting football.

Zip What’s exciting about it? We rarely play with pace, create few chances, take an age to get the ball into advanced positions and are barely able to manage any sustained periods of pressure in any game.
We do have some talented players but often their best work is done on or around the halfway line which doesn’t end up hurting the opposition.
Not for me.

windermereROYAL A long drawn out post that I didn`t have the patience to finish, sorry millsy , if I missed the point then sorry, but I need to ask one simple question.
When was the last time you walked out of the ground thinking we really played well? I`m stumped for one.

Millsy TLDR: We have the lowest number of draws in the division. This is because we play risky all or nothing football. It is exciting even if we lose. I like it. Do you?

We categorically do not play all or nothing football. We are timid and cautious, reactionary and a bit clueless. The last thing I would ever describe this team as is gung ho or “all or nothing”.
The fact we have the least draws is a matter more of coincidence, rather than causation. I would argue that we generally struggle to pull ourselves back into games from losing positions.
