Sounds like they have taken their lesson well then
They are too stupid to realise what's going on.
It's not about entertainment for us, it's all about promotion. They can have their odd smidgen of entertainment coupled with shit results, but at the end of the day Stoke are a million miles from the Prem, infact League 1 is more likely.
It's almost certain that for us that this side will not be our starting 11 if/when we get promoted.
Once promoted we will be back amongst the dollars again, as well as that our players that are not at least average Premier League standard are likely to be replaced.
Let's bore them to death, get the results, get up and reset with a team that's got more desire than the one that took us down.
It might not be pretty on the eye, but it's looking damned effective. The manager should be able to work with some additional better players once the job is done.
