McCall unfazed by Alexander jibe

Alexander claimed only one side had tried to play football in the 2-2 stalemate at Moss Rose on Saturday, but McCall, whose side are not renowned for a route-one style, was quick to try and justify his tactics after utilising the aerial prowess of frontman James Hanson.McCall said: "We were direct for the simple reason that James dominated their centre-half. Every time the ball went in the box, he created problems."There are times when you can play pretty passy, passy football and if you dominate the midfield that's great. But our danger came from putting balls in the box."You play to your strengths and it would have been folly not to keep getting the ball up to James because he was dominating."
