Title: We could go big!
Post by: FulhamStu on August 27, 2021, 08:23:55 AM
Been thinking about the potential of our squad and different formations we could adopt.

Generally the players in our starting 11 are on the small side, Seri, Reed, Carvalho, Kebano, BDR, even Ream is not a big guy, however if we wanted to, we could go 3-4-3 and play a team that could match any big side out there.

The back 3 being Hector-Tosin-Mawson with Kongolo to come in when fit.
In the middle 4 you can have Tete-Anguissa-Onomah-Robinson.
Up front Wilson-Mitro-Cav.

Fulham have traditionally been a small side, I can remember in the 60's hearing us described as Johnny
Haynes and the seven dwarfs!  We could now put out a side described as Land of the giants.

That is because Football has changed as it always does. A lot of reams had small nippy players Everton had Alan Ball among others QPR hand the Morgan Brothers. But back toFulham Alan Clarke wasn't small neither was Graham Leggatt. Even George Cohen and Jack Dempsey  we're above average but Moss was a short arse at 5ft 7in

I wonder who our smallest ever player was. I go back as far as the early fifties when we had a little Welsh international winger by the name of Sid Thomas, every player that followed him seemed huge to me.

Yeah, Stan Brown wasn't tall, neither were Conway or Tosh.
