When did we last have a left winger? Eagle? Makofo?! Mark Smith?!?


A good one? Dave Gilbert.

Think all sides struggle left side, simply because there are so few of the population who are naturally left handed.best advice I was given ,which I ignored, was to put a slipper on your right foot and then play keep ball, keep yuppie, wall rebounds etc etc just with your left foot. That's where so many foreign players are so good, being two footed

All those years since '66, all those millions spent on theories,academy's, coaching, training facilities and the actual reason that England are shite compared to those Jonny foreigners is bloody slippers.

Who would have thought it. Forza me old mucka, you need to get a job at the top of the FA quick smart.

To be fair you couldn't do any worse than the jokers since '66 😉

Townsend at left back and Andrew at left wing would certainly cause problems.

The side is short of a left sided player. I thought Browne played there and I really hope he can play a part next year, ditto with McAllister. From what I've seen of both they look very good, despite only in small doces but imagine:

Bolarinwa McAllister Clements Osborne Browne

That midfield has everything, dynamism, footballing ability, bite, physicality and pace.

How many first team minutes has Browne played? How can you judge him?

Pretty sure Sam Jones has said he's a midfielder. I wouldn't mind trying a 4-1-4-1 with Mills/Jones at LB, Maxwell/Gunning holding and a four of Andrew, Osborne, Jones and Bolarinwa supporting Dyson.

Just a thought.

Jimmy Fell, Freddie Jones were good left wingers but in the modern game you don't have left WINGERS they are now  called left sided OPERATIVES

Arnold was better of the left than he was the right, shame he didn't stay. Bolarinwa and Arnold would frighten teams in this league. By all accounts Arnold's been tearing up the Conference this season, I reckon his form dipped last year as a result of his mum dying.

I loved Kingsley Black in the late 90s, not blessed with pace or trickery but had a wand of a left foot.


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"
