City has raised its youngsters to play neat football in the spirit of friendship and sportsmanship. The only problem is that our opponents in Div 2 play like rabid gorillas who take no prisoners.
We have had a soft centre for years. It's not about size, it's about grit, no fear, and unstoppable winning mentality.

I'd rather watch my team play football than cheat their way to promotion.

The argument is that most winning teams find a middle way between these extremes to get promotion. We have patently not done so in recent years.

I'd argue that we just haven't been adaptable enough tactically.

I don't think I mentioned cheating our way to promotion. What I said was we have a bit of a soft belly and as others have said : we're too nice. We need to make the opposition feel a bit more uncomfortable when they play us. And hassle the ref a bit more. : Let him know what we think if him .
In a word, we need to.be.a bit more pragmatic

I'd rather we got up and then played good football. Lincoln are playing some good stuff these days

Exactly the type of behaviour that teams like Wycombe have in the past been berated for at SJP.

That's an extreme. I'm not saying that, I'm saying "a bit more....": I'm not saying we should behave like the devil, but we need to be a bit less angelic
