Accrington Web - View Single Post - Do you think the height of our players is a major concern?

There were many factors in our defeat to Exeter, height being only a small one. The problem with having too many tall players is that it's too easy to go route one, which is neither entertaining nor enjoyable. If we had a strong and tall striker we'd be too tempted to lump the ball forward at the first opportunity.
We currently have a decent blend of mainly skilful players who are best playing the football on the ground, with a good passing technique and ability to accept the ball whilst under pressure. This is what the vast majority of the fans want to see, We cannot win every game we play nor would we want to (it'd be boring). The main thing is to win more than we lose, and that is achievable with what we have.

This league seems to be very close, this season, as all the results have proven over the last week, any team in this league, can beat any other team in this league, on any given day.
