It's a real mixed bag, and most teams know how to react to different styles. Against a team like Saints the opposition will generally try to frustrate any passing game and bring your own fans down on your teams back. With a well disciplined and talented squad you can rise above it, ala Leicester, but if you show any kind of weakness then they will seize on it and drag you down to their level. This isn't a pretty sight, and it's the sort of game when poor sides (on paper) will pull off a result against the 'big' teams like Forest or Southampton.
