    They experimented with it in one of the non-leagues in the mid90s.It was like free-kicks being pumped into the box. Looked horrific.

    Don Howe checked it out and predictably liked it which says it all.

    Long as it stays at youth level.

     

     

     

     

    Indirect freekick basically, but you can either pass it or dribble.

    My daughter played a friendly last week and they used them unofficially

    Quite enjoyed it tbf.

     

    Throw ins are one of the most pointless parts of youth football. Kids can barely throw it, nobody wants to/can control it, so the ball just fumbles about for a bit. 

  3. I think back to the u18s squad he came from and from that backline I'm legit surprised he was the one that made it. There were easily more composed and what I thought were more intelligent defenders than him (L Storey, J Taylor, J Henderson). Even the year afterwards Alex Nicholson was better as an attacking fullback. But they were all right footed. A classic case of right place, right time and taking the opportunity. He made the most of it and must be a dream come true. 

  4. Are we really at the stage we're writing off Joe Willock? Guy played when he shouldn't have, through an injury and then reinjured it. So yeah, I'm not surprised he didn't play to the levels we're used to him playing, fucker's tendon was on the verge of exploding every week.
