Bollocks have we. You give any of those midfielders a choice and they'll play it square or backwards every time. It's like having fingernails pulled while being kicked in the balls watching us grind through our usual routine. But every now and again, pass, pass, pass up the field and a bit of running and that's when we look dangerous. The rest of the time you wouldn't back us to get it in the box let alone the goal. We've been crucified with this shit football for years now. Particularly cruel because we used to be the team that could power up a pitch in seconds.
