Not sure they'd let Prem players play in long-studded boots nowadays - from memory, isn't that how Lawro ended his career?
Endo was abysmal, okay. And Badger at right-back is an experiment I don't want to see again - he's slower on the turn than even Trent and has absolutely no 5-yard acceleration, a drawback that is quite fatal at fullback level. I do think he'd make a better sort of no 6 than Endo though, though neither of them look like the DM we were supposedly looking for. Perhaps, with Szobo, Macca, and Gravy in a midfield 3, we won't need a no 6 - or maybe put Badger in with them in a 4-4-2? We don't always have to play 4-3-3, do we?
Not sure. I wasn't advocating for it btw. Luckily we won't be playing on any more farmer's fields for the foreseeable. Back to CL next season
I meant on one of the fields rather than an actual pitch. I don't think I ever played in Stanley Park, tbh - as kids we used to go to Wally Hall Park when we wanted the grass experience. Otherwise it was climb over into Arnot St. school until the caretaker turfed us out.
