I don't want to be too negative but we've got an A league with the top side defending in a 5-3-2 and scoring only from penalties.

Not entirely true of the season, as a whole, but you can see why the League is in trouble.

I'll take it, but I'd like to see us back to where we were during our best spell of the season when we were scoring some great goals.  Though even then most games were tight. 
Chiefy has said we play defensive on the road, and attack at home.
All part of the plan! That said this doesn't feel like a game for the neutral 

I understand that desire for "entertaining" high scoring games to draw in the crowds every week, but that just isnt football. If you're relying on cricket scores to draw in the non-footballing fans you'll lose the purists who love the actual challenge of playing away and coming home with a 1-0 win. Defense wins championships, pure and simple.
