It’s not my day, @Malone. You’re last comment (5.26) won’t copy down. But you haven’t answered my question about who was calling whom negative. You referred to “his style”. I don’t know who he is.
I did describe Shrewsbury’s style of play as negative. Effective, yes, and it must have been working marginally better for them recently than our current “style” has worked for us. But I certainly wouldn’t want to watch it on a regular basis.
Perhaps negative is not the right description. That certainly seems to be the consensus on here ! I enjoy (as surely most of us would) watching a team that sets out to boost its goal difference rather than one that sets out to snatch a goal on the break and then parks the bus.
Regarding negative tactics, didn’t “The Gasroom” make a case when we were in the Champo that a certain management pairing of GA and RD deliberately set us up “not to win” on one occasion?

Do two negatives make a positive?
Surely negative tactics would be trying to concede a goal? Or getting a player deliberately sent off, as per Jose Mourinho.
Scoring a goal, even if against the run of play, and then defending resolutely has to be positive doesn't it?
That moment you realize that 100 point form over the second half of the season would probably still not get us into the playoffs.
Should have read “…The Doc…”, of course.
What a fall from grace. From working with Hitchcock and starring in Psycho to using crying with laughter emojis on social media.

Never mind that, the doc still loves one, or both of us. That's the bigger picture.
All of you.
Good call .
