Very much so.
If not a little too entertained given the way our defence leaks goals like a sieve.

100% yes.
It's all about personal preference really but I much prefer to watch our passing style than any of the other styles we've had in recent years, going back to when we last got to the PL.
Like I say, others may have a different opinion but I've loved this ever since Peterborough at home last season.

Yes very enjoyable to watch and we deserve it as well after years of struggling with neck ache from looking up in the air for 90 minutes
Tue Oct 20, 2026 4:01 pm
Yes 100%,. When Bulut was our manager the football was so boring in comparison. We have a lot of chances every game, and a few players away from being a very good team.

Entertaining at times no where as near as the jones and Warnock teams though. But as entertaining as we are I do get incredibly frustrated with our play at times.

When BBM was appointed I thought it was a terrible appointment and it was going to just be sideways and backwards going nowhere like Russell Martin. Happy to say I was completely wrong about the football and BBM as a coach. We press high try and atack with purpose and keep the ball when there’s nothing on and try and draw appointments out. Look forward to every game, very happy customer

Thank you worcester I appreciate it my opinion I've watched city from 1968 although I don't remember much from them times I was only 6 at my first game I have to be honest I think bbm is the perfect manager at the perfect time I love this type of football it actually took me a while to get used to because as a city supporter we not used to it and I remember my two fav players Alston and Evans this team has really gripped me and I love it every press conference from bbm I feel I'm with him every step of the way long may it continue best football since I can remember

Personally I've always much preferred counter attacking teams. We do what we do very well though it's definitely not just possession for possessions sake.
Tue Oct 20, 2026 4:55 pm
It's a yes from me

Will add sometimes guilty of trying to over play especially when shooting opportunities arise. Although we have seemed better last few games of this. Certainly better than long ball flick on no one there to get to knock down try and win it back as have been many times over the years

I went for "most of the time" for the same reason I said above, the defence stresses out me sometimes even though our GD compared to most of the teams around us is superior.
Tue Oct 20, 2026 8:50 pm
Yes and no!!

when we are playing like Saturday its entertaining enjoyable to watch... but then we get games when its why are we playing so slow and why are we looking backwards when better forward pass is option? But despite that the football overall is excellent to watch and I'm not wishing i was elsewhere like under couple of previous managers ..
Tue Oct 20, 2026 10:59 pm
Better than the last few managers .

We are a couple of players from a really good side and its a pleasure to watch at time
One major thing I think can catapult the side is a right and left back that plays a bigger percentage of forward passes , I think they lose momentum for us at times
Wed Oct 21, 2026 8:21 am
Entertaining yes
Frustrating sometimes
But definitely enjoy and look forward to going to games again

Yes very pleasing to watch

Yes, I have enjoyed this season at home immensely with our attacking football, but at times our slow passing out of defence is extremely worrying. This applies mainly when Trott has the ball, as he is extremely slow, and his persistence in passing the ball to one of our defenders who is closely marked, and no more than ten yards away, is nonsense. It has almost led to a goal against us on numerous occasions. That is is my one big gripe, and if we can get rid of that, then the season will be even more enjoyable to watch.

The idea there is to invite the press though to draw the opposition out and create more space.
It's a massive part of the game plan

At times it's brilliant then other times it's like watching paint dry during spells of games nothing worse than watching 25 passes for it to go backwards to trott and he does a longer pass and it's nowhere near anyone but out of touch or the other teams player with nobody near it in a blue shirt but that comes with the tactics and formation system BBM plays
