The only thing that makes durge palpable is a win, who can forget the opening games of the season, Blackpool away and Notts Cty away, swift attacking entertainment, came away from them games smiling, but how many games where we've played shite but still won, I still come away smiling, a win is a win, don't care how we do it

They were accurate and the number of balls we won against their giants was remarkable. The first goal came from one of said hoofs. A long, accurate pass (hoof) from Lynch to Bunn, which he controlled well and laid it off for Nakki.Barring the hoof up front that saw us take the lead I'd argue that the rest of them in the first half were very ineffective
As for the question. Results first, entertainment second.

The stats agree.
Red lines being unsuccessful crosses, green one being successful.

Didn't sound ugly tonight

After the first 15 mins Wolves pretty much resorted to hoofing it from the back tonight. Their shooting was appalling.

its a circle
Good football breeds confidence which lead to wins
Wining breeds confidence which leads to better football
the trick as a manager is knowing which one of those the players will respond too, and at the end of the day its a results driven business,and football is a business now and really always has been.
While there are some who would prefer to watch good football and if a team loses and maybe get relegated "oh well it was a good ride, roll on next year" those people are in the minority.
what a lot of people forget is the other team has something to say about it too, Wolves didnt play well wednesday because we didnt let them, it happens in games and sometimes you have to grind one out.
while i would love for town to play "champagne" football right now winning is more important , and it seems to be the thing that the players are responding too, my expectation is performances pick up from here and we dont just get results but good results
