Lennon told the Press Association Sport: "When the pitches are all, like bowls, then the style of play.
"We brought all the players who are technically good and can handle the ball well, they have a work ethic and a great group dynamic. But I also have players who can roll their sleeves and do the wrong side of the game.
"We know we have to go out and win the right to play. We have to win the individual and collective struggles and therefore our influence on the game.
"I have a group of players that will do the ugly side of the game very well.
"There are a lot of teams out there who will come and upset, then you need to get a balance.
"Whether it's a pass play or a passing game more, you must have a winning performance."
