Re: Right winger

Stanley won a corner and, rather than do the usual, the entire Stanley attack lined up outside the penalty area. This left the big Reading defenders standing on their own in the six yard box, somewhat confused as to how to mark someone who wasn't there.
As the corner came in, the Stanley lads charged like the Light Brigade into the valley of death. Unfortunately, on this occasion, they too lost out to the big guns of the defenders. But I thought it was a brilliant bit of improvisation to nullify the opposition's physical superiority.[/QUOTE]

saw the same thing myself years ago. it was vs rugby v leyton orient in a fa cup game. the rugby side did the same thing and scored through it as you said the opposition didn,t know how to cope with it. everything now is all much of a muchness. if one top side do it all the rest follow. remember england winning the world cup without wingers and quickly football league sides copied it.
