Looking at the size (height) of the squad the manager is putting together, it reminds me of many of the successful championship promotion sides of the past, and even the most successful junior teams of my youth, for that matter too.
They would always look bigger and stronger than any of the opposition.
I know there has definitely been a shift to the possession based, low centre of gravity, skilful smaller player in a lot of teams but it’s all about winning the league or getting promotion now.
A good mix would be nice, but we have to be physical and fit first, on a cold wet January night!
