    Our current players are fantastic under Vals lstyle.

    Which ex players would have flourished under Val?

    Cavare and McGeehan for me would have loved Val and done far better in a reds shirt.

    Anymore as far back as you want?

    Cavare wasn't keen on tracking back - Val wouldn't have liked that!

    I think he would have suited Vals style and if Val says track back then you track back

    I think Bambo was a player that Val would have made immense

    From a little further back - Stan would have been ideal.

    Val would've ripped Cavare's head off. Some good memories of the guy but disciplined he was not.

    It's fair to say Pinnock would have suited Val's system. VI would have loved EP's pace at the back

    Absolutely not. Could barely run for 10 minutes let alone do the 60/30 minute rotations.

    Can anyone go further back to what players 70s 80s 90s who were fit quick strong and talented who Val would have loved to have in his 343?

    Assuming he'd have been used exclusively on toilet cleaning duties, you're probably right.

    I think what we have now is we are very difficult to beat, against the sides that like to play fooltball we defend from the front and make it difficult for them to get out of their own half and against teams that like to go long we have 3 rocks at the back that can compete with anyone in the air, so basically we have everything covered , in the past we,ve either scored goals but couldn,t defend or were solid at the back but couldn,t score, now we seem to have the right formula and thats down to the manager, long may it continue...
