DPL v Fleetwood

BVZ, I must admit I do not like teams such as Fleetwood where one of their main objectives seems to be to get opponent players booked. Often, with minimal contact, their players fell to the ground and acted like they were mortally wounded - must have watched Neymar in the World Cup. In addition, their manager was always complaining to the fourth official, I assume asking for a card to be given.
Some may call it "gamesmanship", I call it disgusting.

Perhaps it is not surprising that Fleetwood's style of play does not attract many spectators. Despite attempting to play a purer form of the game, to succeed against them it is often not enough to be better footballers, you have to be much better or prepared to employ their own tactics.

Obviously those few people who turn out to see them
value winning above witnessing good football from which they will only see from visiting teams.

It is really quite a long time since the Fleetwood style of play was often encountered and one would hope that referees would be rather firmer with their kind of gamesmanship given the increasingly stringent official support for the enforcement of the Laws of the Game.

The thing what does my head in, is how can they pay the wages they're paying on the gates they're getting.
Not a fan or theres at all, wouldn't be sorry to see clubs like this end up in conference.
