There is a third option of playing right and left side midfielders , neither wingers or full backs. There aren't many examples but an old school player like Steve Hodge for Forest and England able attack and defend but essentially a midfielder with discipline that can also link well with a winger ahead of him. Why is that most midfielders now just want to be centre mid?
If you look other stats on their average position you might see they aren't as far forward in some games as you might think.
Anyway it's not only about average position, but will they take the opportunity to attack when it comes? A fullback/wingback can be deadly in attack even with only a few well-executed runs or crosses per game.
Except Eddie? Who as I recall played Stan, Ibe, the Scottish player, Pugh, and others as wingbacks (and fullbacks)?
Yes but only when desperate with injuries
We are unbeaten yes, but without sounding rash, who actually cares? I have no doubt that we’d have accumulated more points had we just gone with an ‘out score the opposition’ approach, we may have lost the odd game on the way but you don’t get promoted by drawing every week. We are third right now, that’s all that matters.
Coventry and Cardiff. It has worked on a couple of occasions but generally we have been very poor.
We have played well a couple of times with it but in general the quality of our performances has been poor relative to the quality of players that we have, surely you can see that?
