It won't need fixing but it will need changing in the near future. Critics are correct in suggesting the club cannot carry on indefinitely as it is if it wants to be successful. Where i disagree with them is that we are wrong to be doing it at the moment.Quote:

They get found out very quickly in Europe, so maybe it does need fixing.
In fairness Patsh we have put up some good displays. Waterford and Shamrock Rovers away were good games for us this season. The essence of my point is that we would be over presumptuous to try to maintain that style of play against the likes of yourselves.Quote:

Those players and team CANNOT progress if the manager beats it into them that the best they can hope for against City or $hel$ or whoever is to hang on for a draw. Surely you can see that this is a vote of no confidence in his own player's ability?
It's also possible that informed decisions are being made as regards how we should play going into those games. It has got us a win and a draw from out last two meetings with Cork. Just because you haven't seen us go out and get thrashed in Cork doesn't mean it wouldn't happen if we applied different tactics.Quote:

We don't always play the boring football (because that's what it is - as far as i'm concerned, calling it sh!te is unfair when it gets results) you talk about.Quote:

That is a ridiculous post! most teams when they play the top 2 teams hope to hang on for a draw :rolleyes:Quote:
