Wicked Wing-Wizardry: Is there a future for it in the modern game?

One of the standout features of Bromley’s shape and set-up over the last three seasons has been the adherence to a back-three system with wing-backs.

The 21/22 season saw Luke Coulson, Harry Forster, and Corey Whitely share duties. In 22/23, Harry Forster, Kellen Fisher and Besart Topalloj were the primary placeholders. And in 23/24, Josh Passley, Myles Weston, Besart Topalloj, and Idris Odutayo were the upgrades

Whether Bromley line up in a 3-4-3 or a 3-4-2-1, the wing-back role has evolved to the point that the player is expected to slot into a back 5 out of possession and move high up the pitch in possession.
