And fast. We will NOT stay up if he perseveres with this "attacking" football he promised us when he came in. Quite simply, if we try and outplay teams who are clearly better than us, Hull for example, we will be beaten, and beaten badly. We got lucky against Norwich and everyone knows it, Marshall won that game for us but on another day, we probably would've got hammered just like we did on Saturday.
We do not have a team good enough to go out and try and pass it around like we're Barcelona. Yes, this is partly Malky's fault as he didn't do enough with the money he was given to build a squad to compete in the BPL. However, OGS's signings have hardly been better. The difference is, Malky was a good enough manager and he knew what he had to do to keep us up. I don't understand how people can say he wouldn't have kept us up when we didn't once go into the relegation zone apart from the first day. Earlier in the season we went away to Hull and got a good 1-1 draw. Just look at what Pulis has done with Palace. Ugly football is often the best way to play, even if its not the best to watch. Until you have the players to do otherwise, which atm we don't, we have to try and do this ugly way, otherwise its Championship football next season.
