Completely agree.
The priority for so many teams is "don't lose" rather than "win". I'd change how points are allocated so that playing for a draw is not quite as attractive an option, especially at home...
Home Draw- 1 point.
Away Draw-2 points.
Home Win-3 points.
Away Win-4 points.
Plus an extra point for every goal you scoer in a game of 3 and over. Thus our win at Swansea would have been duly rewarded with 6 points-and Swans would have got 1, even thought they lost.
Where-as yesterday we'd have got just one point but Fulham two: meaning it would have been more to our advantage to play for the win which would hopefully open games up more.
You'd need a Deep Thought'esque type computer to work it all out every week mind.
