Jim Sticking To Guns

Town manager Jim Magilton has vowed to continue playing football his way, despite the success of Watford in the Championship this season.
Jim: "There are many ways to win a football match and Watford proved on Saturday how good they are at what they do, managers have their own way of playing and if it's successful and the players buy into it, then that is a recipe for going forward.
"I have my own way of playing the game. To play a brand of football that I like and that I will always stand up for and that will never change.
"It's backed by the coaching staff and the players here but on Saturday we didn't perform in the manner we have done at home this season.
"It's a learning curve for us all but I do want to see us be quicker on the ball and have more quality with it.
"That's the aim and if we can do that, it doesn't matter how physical a team is with you. You don't have to match brawn with brawn, you have to be cleverer than the opposition.
"Against Watford we did not have enough belief in our play, we didn't get enough players on the ball and fair play to Watford for that but we will dust ourselves down and relish the opportunity of putting it right against Crystal Palace."

Do you agree with Jim? Or should Town try a more physicial approach? Leave your view below.
His precious home record has gone now so there is no need to pussyfoot around at home playing Counago on his own(which he has been doing). Too many wrong decisions like this are costing us this season and I feel Mr Evans won't put up with it much longer, he wants Prem football now. So stop the negative tactics Jim
