There's no guarantee that playing ugly will result in wins and staying up.
yeh where has this myth come from that we are playing good football?
Said it before, it's like being married watching a Thorn side, possesion but no penetration.

change the record
no guarantee ugly football keep us up,no guarantee new manager will keep us up
guess what? no guarantee thorn will keep us up either
Worked for Liverpool for many a year when they had Toshack and Keegan up front.
Long ball up to Toshack, knock down for Keegan ...... bagss of goals.
The problem is that long ball does not equal good results. If it did, all football managers apart from diehard purists would be doing it! If there is one thing that the fans of a club who suffered the worst long ball dross played in this division in years last season should know, it's that long ball is one-dimensional and easy to defend against. You might get away with it for maybe a dozen or so games, but thereafter teams will know exactly how to neutralise you.
Its not just about the long ball though, it's about mixing it up and playing ugly, getting in the faces of the opposition, playing football in the opponents end of the field and not in our end.
Their are ways of doing this without just hoofing it up every time, moving the ball quicker, getting at the opposition quicker in their end, battling for the ball, getting in the ref's face a bit more and not just accepting what he say's, may not be what the team is about but I really think we have to turn a bit more like other teams to get out of this.
People are saying portsmouth are going to get points deducted but there are still games to play so they have every chance (more than us at the moment) to get those points and get back up out of the relegation zone.
We as a team need to start getting ugly and make teams not want to play us because they will know they are in for a battle.
AB instilled this although his football may have not been attractive the team had more guts than this lot have at the moment, and at least we had a chance of winning games where as at the moment a win seems like a rareity and a luxury we can ill afford.
Coincided with the changes at boardroom level as well Ichan ,Aidy was aabndoned ,and that signing took a couple of months to conclude ,a massive distraction for the manager,and of course we lost Turner,who had been a revelation up to that point..Was more saying about the way teams feared us than the results towards the end and my opinion on that I feel had something to do with King coming into the squad and maybe upsetting the apple cart so to speak.

I was agreeing with a lot of what you were saying then you reminded me about AB
