Pace Is A Great Asset For Any Team

Doesn't matter who you are, if you can play with pace, you're halfway there.

Obviously you need to do it well (!) but we certainly have the players to get that sort of game going and to perfect it.

Both Arsenal (esp.counter attacking) and Man Utd play that game and, when they are "on song" bith are untouchable.

Now we're never going to be up there with them, but, the sort of teams we play aren't the equivalent of their regular opponents anyway.

Fast, pass and move, use pace-its very effective and makes long ball the ineffective and, well, dull, method it is.

Teams will always play that sort of game-if it suits them, and thankyou Charles Hughes for your POMO-but it doesn't suit us, our players, and our chances of ever getting anywhere this season-which for me, is a top 12 finish.
