Charlton Athletic

Josh Edwards

Josh Edwards is a left back built on defending first, the sort of full back who wins his individual battle before thinking about anything further up the pitch. He earned recognition as one of Scottish football's best defenders, which says plenty about his consistency.

Josh Edwards, The Defender Scotland Rated

He was named among the best defenders in Scottish football before making the step up to English football.

Edwards made his name in Scottish football as a defender other players and coaches rated highly, not as a wing back chasing assists. He reads the ball into wide areas early and gets across to block the cross rather than gambling on the tackle. That defensive discipline earned him representative recognition north of the border before Charlton moved for him, a rarer honour for a full back than it sounds.

What still needs answering is whether that discipline holds up against wingers with more raw pace and trickery than he faced in Scotland. A left back who defends first can look excellent against one type of winger and exposed against another, so the level of opponent changes the picture completely. Watching how comfortable he looks in one on one duels tells you plenty.

Match Bingo Game Modes Explained

There are three game types on Match Bingo and they behave less alike than they sound. Live Games follow a real fixture as it's played. Bingoals swaps the fifteen events for fifteen teams and needs every one of them to score. Quick Games run every few minutes on football from last season, so there's nothing to wait for.

Does a New Signing Change Anything on Your Match Bingo Card?

Deadline day comes and goes and your card stays exactly as it was. Match Bingo cards are built from things that happen in a match, goals and corners and fouls, rather than from the players who make them happen. No name on a teamsheet reaches a single square. Here's what a signing does change, and what it doesn't.

Is Match Bingo Safe? Licensing, Fair Play and Player Protection

Two things usually sit behind that question: whether the company is real and regulated, and whether the game itself can be got at by somebody sharper than you. Match Bingo is operated by RTSB Limited under Gambling Commission account 51467, which takes about a minute to check. The second answer is duller: there's nothing to press.

What Is Football Bingo?

A card holds fifteen things that can happen in a football match, and each square marks itself the moment its event happens in the fixture you've chosen. You buy before kick-off, then you go and watch the game. Complete a horizontal row of five before anybody else and you take the fixed prize for that tier.
