Yup, Carson's body shape. He should have approached with

knees bent, back straight, rolled over hips. That shape allows you to react to a ball being knocked around you or between your legs, or to get back quickly. Carson was totally upright and walked up as though he was accepting an Oscar.

        they still bottle it though (n/m) (Other Football) - pants, Nov 20, 10:48:08
        
        Wish we could bottle it the way they do. (n/m) (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 20, 10:50:11

        how do they bottle it anyway? (n/m) (Other Football) - Charles21, Nov 20, 10:50:41

        right, but why are they bottlers? (n/m) (Other Football) - Charles21, Nov 20, 11:11:52
        
        Because no matter how good they are, or how much they sign decent players (Other Football) - pants, Nov 20, 11:14:23

        Well I think they've got a brilliant squad this season, and should finish at least 6th (Other Football) - pants, Nov 20, 11:20:55
        
        No way is their squad (Other Football) - Charles21, Nov 20, 11:24:45
        
        I expect them to lose at home to the stokes and west broms (Other Football) - pants, Nov 20, 11:33:44

      - I think we might. Although I do agree last night might have been one for Owen. (n/m) (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Nov 20, 10:06:44
        
        Yeah, Owen in my opinion should be in the squad (Other Football) - Charles21, Nov 20, 10:09:16
