This is where the arguement gets made that you can have both.. It starts with bringing in better players as they have better skill levels , better movement , better passing , more composure and other attributes that players inherited didn't have..
They say a solid team is built on a solid defence so that's where the improvement is needed.. Other aspects of our play range from decent to good and occasionaly brilliant but I don't see a specific label to give the team as yet.. (Not a nice one anyway)
People tend to think Mowbray doesn't care about the defence and only wants silky football but Mowbray obviously thought the way to improve the defence was to replace the likes of Caldwell and Mcmanus with Hooiveld and Rogne (And Ramis had he signed) so I hope that indicates that he believes bringing better defenders in means conceding less goals..
We haven't seen enough of them to make a judgement though , and only time will tell.. -

results is the main thing but you could also play some good football
-
TBH I think this thing about how we've played excellent football under Mowbray is a total myth.
I don't see much difference between this and under WGS, difference is we were winning under Strachan. -
We got results with WGS but the * football emptied the stadium.
With the silky football the fans are coming back and so will the results.(hopefully). -

In our current situation, and the tradition of SPL as a league where nice football doesn't work, we can't ask for both. We're trying to play nice right now, but it doesn't work. Results are more important than the way how we play.
-
Exactly, surely we can achieve both we just need to learn how to hold onto a lead.

I'm afraid that, in order to make the defense play better, we'll have to sacrifice something in attack. Strachan wasn't afraid of this, because he knew it had to be done. So, no, we can't have both. -
How about just settlin for some * tacticssssss !! Honest is it too mcuh to ask for im sick of watching this school boy football pish that mowbray makes us suffer every weekend. * disgrace and if any of you think its going to be better your in a dreamland. Put it this way do you really want that tactically unaware * leading you into a old firm game ?

We can call him whatever we like, we pay his wages ffs and he is dictating our football club. -

you pay his wages & that gives you the right to call him a *!:56: -
If most fans think he's not doing a good enough job he's paid to do, then we have every right to call him whatever we want.
If you failed at your job would you be surprised to be undermined by your employers and sacked? -
Anyone who thinks you can't play good football AND win trophies knows nothing about football.

We're not even getting good silky football as consolation at the moment, there's no real structure to our play
-
would like to think we can do both but the problem is that when you attack as much as we do you lave yerself open at the back soo when mowbry sorts it out in the summer weel be jammin next season
keep the faith -
Results, no brainer really. Nothing better than watching winning football. I personally couldn't give a * if we're not playing 'Arsenal style' soccer.

Strachan's Football was Dire Last Season
I still believe that under Mowbray the football is definetly more entertaining.
Defence is still * this yr and last!
Enough said!
