Isn't it pretty much a given in L1 that the vast majority of teams are made up of dross and those whose "star players" fire more than others end up nearer the top. Very few sides play massively attractive football at this level as the risk/reward is to skewed toward risk to do so due to players making more mistakes.

Think you can circumvent it with a well-drilled side, but I covered that broadly in no structure, no drive.

There's a fair few who play more attractive football than we do.

More attractive does not equal attractive tough.

It's a functional/attritional league - always has been, probably always will be.
