Chesterfield went all the way out of the league drawing and losing by the odd goal most of the time.
Wigan's points total tells you scrambling for 270 minutes and hurling blocking bodies around the box will earn you only the same as freeing yourselves up and aiming for the opposition onion bag in just 90 minutes of a win. If you attack it helps you to defend, doesn't it? When you know that if the opposition score you will probably be struggling even to draw, that's when mistakes happen, and desperation sets in.
It's a team game and everybody contributes to both attack and defence. When you play with fear, your greatest fear soon becomes your future. There's a time and place for parking the bus and it isn't against a team that is equally scared of losing to you. Why I say this is because I fear that the point will convince your manager that this is the way to go, and he'll find many Championship teams will be happy to win a boring game with a scrambled goal in the 78th minute.
