it's not all about what we do though is it

if the opposition just hoof it up the pitch to a reasonably mobile brick-s**thouse then there's every chance they'll be able to push us off the ball and do something with it - gives them a better chance when it comes to them all important 2nd balls and the 50-50 challenges

nobody is suggesting a team full of cloggers is the answer (except Aidy Boothroyd), just that we need a mix, and if we can get skillful players that won't be easily pushed off the ball all the time then so much the better
