    When I played school football in my teens, there was less reliance on formations whether it was 4-4-2 or 3-2-1-4 or a stunted Christmas tree. It was a much simpler and more flexible 'just spread out and surround them'!

    Typical of Green Lane - "Look for space !"
    You do - then - "Get back and cover !"
    No wonder we had the fittest under 11 team. :D

    Alf Ramsey was the forerunner of changing tactics from the ancient to the modern and he got heavy criticism for it at first

    The way our squad is developing nicely, I could take a risk - 7 - 1 - 2 ? ;)
    (Not a great fan of 'one up front' !)

    Hope Akpan: is he simply a committed tackler, or a dirty bugger?

    6 career red cards, and a ton of bookings.

    Also, a suspension for pushing a referee!

    Very difficult in the modern game to have a player like Kennedy or Kammy for that matter, the powers that be are IMO trying to make it a non contact sport, having said that some of the play acting is very convincing, very difficult for referees, but with the modern techknowledgy we have VAR could offer input as the game continues.

    But he might find it a strange comment without context?

    In those days most teams had a lad who could win their fair share of 50/50 balls :oops:, and Trevor wasn't the biggest and played much of his football at Valley Parade on the wing, but during that era there were a few little guys who could put it about Giles & Bremner at Leeds. Bally could be a nasty little bugger.
    But I think Bobby Campbell would have fronted any of these hard men up.

    Eddie Youds was harder than them both and still wasn't as hard as Bobby Campbell.
