There we go, it's those percentage balls getting lumped in. It isn't beautiful but we have the nasty bastards and big men to cause chaos off the high ball and win the second ball. Chances like that will come for us and we need to stay strong in defence til the end
It does work and it's Jones' favourite style but it really doesn't make for thrilling football. We'll win a fair few games this way I'm sure but doubt we'll be blowing many teams off the pitch.

(But I would rather win ugly than lose pretty.)
It's a good away game tactic but I'd hope we don't play like this at home.
Need to show a bit more control in the game than simply sitting 5 back and hoping for mistakes when most away teams would take the draw as well.

I firmly believe a lot of our games this season will be us bemoaning not having enough chances, not bemoaning how shit the defence is
