Eli King wins young player

Re: Eli King wins young player

I don't remember that but nor would I contradict it. But he played under Mad Mick and I don't remember during that tenure any central defenders trying to pass.

We currently have a few midfielders who suffer from the fault to which you refer. Although, on times last season it appeared that they had been instructed not to pass the ball in a forward direction.

Ron Greenwood's mantra was that the ball should always go forward (pass and move) and during his training sessions backward or sideways passes were banned.

didn't Mick play him as a left wing back at one point

Yes, 5 centre backs in a back 5.

Lad gave it a go but looked as confused as the rest of us.
