Also, the ball doesn't carry that much - surprising given what you've said about English pitches and I'm in Australia. I don't struggling being that close... maybe it's just me, I guess. It's probably 4-5 metres back against the 105-110 lads, to be fair and 2-3 to the slightly slower ones.
Maybe they're just even slower than you think.
