I think you'd change your tune if you had McLeish managing your club.
I probably would, because then I'd have to watch it on a weekly basis and be fed up with it.
Just saying, objectively it has worked more than once this season against us. Sunderland got a win out of it too.
It's probably the most consistently successful strategy against us from clubs outside the top 4. Stay narrow, don't concede, don't be adventurous until the 75th minute after we've exhausted ourselves against a brick wall.
