Elias Kachunga believes the pressing style at Bolton Wanderers draws some parallels with that of former club Huddersfield Town but the use of wing-backs is the key difference and factor helping the Whites have goals from across the pitch.
Wanderers attacker Kachunga is one of 13 different players who have found the back of the net for the Whites in all competitions this season. Their goalscoring exploits have seen Ian Evatt's side reach the top six of League One, their target for this campaign.
Former Terriers and Sheffield Wednesday man Kachunga believes the use of wing-backs in this Wanderers team has been a key reason why Wanderers have been carving out the chances they have been. Conor Bradley is the club's joint second top scorer so far this campaign with three goals.

Kachunga admits the club's pressing strategy is hard work, but the reward is there for all to see when Wanderers score. With the positives of the variety of goalscorers the Whites have demonstrated so far this campaign, it is somethign Kachunga wants to see continue.
He said: “It was maybe a little different for the chances we created for the strikers, now we play with wing-backs and that gives them more space at the back post than I had playing for Huddersfield. The press is really important for us because we can win the ball high up the pitch, not far from the goal, and can get the ball back quick. It is high energy but this is how we want to do it and I think you can see this season that it is not easy to play against us.
“They (wing-backs) are getting a lot of chances and they have scored a few goals already, especially at the back post.

David Benedict Part of the instant appeal of “Friends” was that, from the get-go, the relationships between the members of the gang who hung out in the apartments above Central Perk felt not just likeable but absolutely lived-in. The same is absolutely true of the perfectly meshed cast of Lynette Linton’s beautifully directed National Theatre production of Pearl Cleage’s “Blue for an Alabama Sky” in London. Cleage’s 1930s-set rooming-house drama is far more wide-ranging — it ultimately encompasses tragedy as well as comedy — but its glowing hallmark throughout is its ability to keep audiences basking in its warmth. Glowingly lit by Oliver Fenwick with a palette rising to richly expressionist crimson, Frankie Bradshaw’s towering, vividly atmospheric set goes from the front stoop to the rafters of a down-at-heel Harlem house. It’s here we meet drunk Angel (a birdlike yet commanding Samira Wiley, in her U.K. stage debut), who staggers back to the home of snappy costume designer Guy (hilariously smart-mouthed Giles Terera, London’s knockout Burr in “Hamilton”). A self-styled “notorious homosexual,” he takes pity on his long-time friend who has not only lost her boyfriend but her job singing in a nightclub.
