That's subjective, they're organised, efficient, hard working and committed all desirable qualities in football and that's why the do so well. Team like Reading that try to play pretty football with sub standard players get thumped regularly and shown up for what they are, not good enough.

Not every club has the players to play expansive football, you play using the method most suitable to achieve relative success at your club.
