I can see where Mee is coming from with his comments but there is a difference between one game with no goals and being exciting compared to 6-7 in a row. Fans want goals.
I look at Spurs this season. To start the year, fans didn't care about scoring or results they were just enjoying the style of Ange compared to Conte. After a month, that joy went away when we stopped scoring even though we kept playing uptempo.
Goals and high scoring matches will always make fans happier longterm than a great defensive team.

True. I remember Man United's stint with Mourinho, and despite him actually winning a few trophies and ending in 2nd place, I never really got the idea that it would work out in the long run. As it also hasn't in any other club he's been in.
Fans need to see a vision and an idea that's more than just keeping a tight defence. But 'more wants more', so there's no surprise in them raising their eyebrows over the lack of goals, once the fear of relegation is no longer that present.
Catching up after a while: even though you've been promoted, a level up you still have the league's best defense: impressive! That eventually could bring you closer to play-offs, or automatic promotion.

Thanks, yeah somehow I don't have too much trouble defending in this game. It seems to be a standard for me lately, to be tight in the back and not allow too many goals in.
Maybe I could make a push for promotion in the second half of the season. But I do think my squad could benefit from another season in the Championship.
