That's where he'll excellent if his game develops, that's where he'll be effective. All this shit about him playing higher doesn't add up either. He likes to pick the ball up deep and penetrate the opposition while carrying on his run after he's released the ball. He's no back to goal player. Back to the heading, well Colwill is just ahead of the curve, Heading will be banned soon enough anyway!
Tackling was, more or less, banned a while back so you may be right. I used to love a full on, blood and guts tackle, hard but fair. A player would be shot at dawn for one now. Aerial challenges the same, not the run of the mill set piece but a 5ft 7 tough midfielder aggressively winning a heading duel, letting his marker know he’s not going to be f*cked about with. Things of the past, by the looks, but those incidents didn’t half get the crowd going.
