Yep. Old school, love it! Have a moan over a pint in the pub and onto the next. With VAR, events are discussed weeks later. So dull!

I guess as well the decisions that go for you and against you even out over time, some stats would be interesting though how much for example a home crowd effects a ref decision

Ha ha - Hyde's 'goal' against Wrexham will be mentioned for decades

Defensive minded - the likes of Bridge, Kensdale, Hobson and GSM are all attack minded. Just look at the positions someone like Gus takes up and how frequently he gets in the opposition’s penalty area. We have our right centre-half regularly popping up on the wing.

Players out of position - Bridge has played by far the best football of his career as a wingback. It’s the position he’s looked most comfortable in.

I hear you.
There is a massive difference however to positioning and the capability of a player. Theres a big difference between bridge and kensdale for example. Its why a team (and any team for that matter) requires the right balance of attack creativity and defence. A team of Hobson's for example even in all out attack would likely struggle.

Yes bridge has played well. That said I haven't seen him defend much and I'd say if he played for example on the left of any attacking formation with a defender behind him he would still be great. Remove him out of the team we are verrrryyyy ordinary.
