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.Originally Posted by Dyl10

Thats the point, it is crap football. Very, very few people want to watch the kind off sh*te Longford churn out.
It might be great for their own fans, but it's hardly an inducement to anyone else to watch it.
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.

Well i think your wrong! Maybe its just my opinion. I doubt longford town or their fans care what other clubs think as long they are succesful. So are you saying longford should change there style of play because other fans want them to?
Why?
Because your manager is afraid of losing, thats why.
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.
I look at it as playing to your strengths. The team as a whole is not as good as some other teams in the league. Simple as. Doesn't mean we can't get results when they're there for the taking. 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.
It's very easy, might i add, to sit on your cosy perch at the top giving off about other teams and their managers, but it may be worth remembering that each club has their own battle to fight. I honestly think you and others are being very unbalanced in your criticism given our achievements each season.

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