Because things are going along nicely, its the last bad period and it gives Reg chance to stir the pot.

Town win is my priority. Prefer it if we do it with swagger and style. If not possible then do it through blood and guts. A loss however we play, ruins my day/week so love expressive play but a 0-1 boring win at Barnsley on a Tuesday night is fine by me.

A boring 1-0 win away on a Tuesday at Barnsley yes that fully acceptable, but 5 boring 1-0 wins at home in a row and 4 boring 0-0s in a row? thats not so clear cut for me. I know it would please probably 95% of our fans though so I fully accept I am unusual, but I have seen so much crap football played where we havent won that I would rather we went for it and lost.

I am in the win rather than style camp. Given that we are talking about lower league football, I don't expect to be entertained.

Like others I stopped attending when Flitcroft was manager, I travel a fair way and just got fed up with the style of football. Started to watch Maidenhead a bit, at least they tried to play the ball on the deck.

A dull loss with crap football is the pits! The idealist I has every Town team playing with a combination of swagger and fire. 46 years of mostly the opposite, tells me that my ideal happens very rarely. I just hate hate hate them losing. I should probably get some help!

I agree, I went to my first Town game in 1974 so have seen so much shit over the years, I want entertainment now but not at the expense of results, we had that under Williams and his brand was supposedly entertaining but was actually sull as dishwater.

A defeat (or even a win pretty much) these days doesn't really affect me as much as it used to. In fact by the time i'm back in London i've got over it (unless its a bigger game or a derby) pretty much so for me I'd rather see us play an entertaining expansive game than a turgid defensive display to try and nick a 1-0 win.

Williams managed to achieve the worst of both worlds though, although he was trying the "style over results" extreme end of the spectrum, it managed to combine being dull to watch and ineffective. It doesn't have to be entertaining vs effective though. We've seen last season, and in many other previous seasons, you can have both, the polarisation is unncecessary

I see payments linked to progression in cup competitions and promotion are excluded, there's the loophole then that will be able to be exploited. Still think proper FFP enforcement was the right option but hey ho.

Not a massive surprise. Although I personally feel that any cap needs to be brought in at all levels with varying amounts as the Championship and Premiership are where the biggest problem lies with massively inflated wages, although I doubt it would be voted in by the overspending teams. Still think proper FFP enforcement was the right option but hey ho.
Very much this. Make it fit for purpose and policed.

The way I'm reading that is that you can pay bonuses to players for promotion or cup runs. Don't see a problem with that myself, and as a player you'd know there's no guarantee of that many materialising without some success on the pitch.
