Yes, a good point and a step towards safety.
We do need to build for the future but that's alway difficult if you don't know what division you are in. That's why, boring as it might be, grinding out a few draws at tough away grounds is a sensible, hopefully, short-term necessity.
I am sure we won't play like that in all game. But when needs must.
Naturally there is concern that TP's track record could make us a long ball and physical team. But his Crystal Palace days, being the most recent, suggests he has more to his bow than that.
Step 1, secure Premiership status, Step 2 experiment with squad and assess them ready for the summers transfer dealings. Step 3 mis table next season and a cup run (if not this season).
For me, I'll take it.
