Just for clarity for our new members: Reg is not the arbiter of standards in this forum. Feel free to ignore him. (In fact, I recommend it)

It's odd, you'd think Reg would be screaming for a front five, like the good old days.

Interestingly Wellens has lamented the lack of wingers in his squad.... the proper old skool wimger is largely a thing of the past, not sure where you'd get one from now.... more typical is the Jermaine McG type, a nippy player who works up and down out wide, but can't really dribble and cross.  Town fans used to love a proper winger, but the dribbler has largely disappeared... Matt Ritchie, the modern type, works up and down and has a good delivery, but doesn't really dribble.

I did a typo... it happens increasingly with age....and rightly I was pulled up for the error. I'm sure there will be more.

Or do we need an old school singer? Maybe Elton after he has retired from that profession?

No old skool will do... a sort of nod to the music form of uncertain style or date, with it's ironic suggestion of time wasted on education, rather than music.  Some would offer the late 70's into early 80's hip hop as original old skool. Others the 90's, which coincides with the notion of the winger being outdated.   Of course, wimger is a typo, the n and m being adjacent on the keyboard, as I said there will be others.
