It has to be said that the new rules have seriously levelled the playing field. Division 1 against Div 4 doesn't seem as big (it is still significant ) but not as daunting as before. I love the fact that honest kick out football to the middle is now where the game is at... Cute short kick out strategy seems easy enough now to push up on forcing keeper to go long. Teams with limited midfield strength may be better off letting keeper go short and defend further up the pitch. Any team out muscled in the middle now are pretty sure to lose the game. Midfield wins you the game, the forwards by how much
