GOAT 30,449 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Has it got better or does he just have a better player helping him down that right hand side? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris1984 1,259 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Candeias was my MoTM today, I think he helps Tav massively but I do think Tav has upped it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think his new wing partner is helping him big time. Before Tav was the creative force on the right side, so had to bomb up and down the wing all game. Now he has someone who not only shares that responsibility, but actually helps out by tracking runners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theclothmonster 1,707 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Don't think either FB is good enough although I will concede Tav has improved under Pedro. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McEwan's Lager 30,522 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 He's not being asked to do as much offensively in this side which is a good thing for him in terms of developing the defensive side of his game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivybank 4,580 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 He was dreadful at the chance that the Dundee guy missed the header from 6 yards,candiaes helps him out with his backtracking Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbGER 24,518 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 He was posted missing again today when Dundee countered and Candeais was ahead of him and not covering, we got off with it but a better team punishes that. Think he was still in a more attacking position when we won the ball back. He cannot afford to do that against the beggars because Sinclair and Teirney will take advantage of that. He has improved but still a long way to go imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lockin 3,911 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Tavs been one of our most consistent players for a long time - just gets a lot of shit on Bears Den Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Bob 1,360 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Both fullbacks need replaced and we need better cover for Alves if he goes forward for a corner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaka 1,673 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Candeias and Tav work well together. It would be brilliant, if we could get the same balance on the other side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Apart from the periods where he seems to walk around lost he's improved. Still quite good going forward sometimes. One period in the 1st half we were missing a right back when Dundee were on one of their rare attacks. Tav was wandering in centre mid. Maybe the manager told him to move there for a period but it is just one of these instances where he just seems to be posted missing. Pity his tackling hasn't improved Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,526 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 It's a combination of having two better centre halves there, a decent holding midfielder, Candeias being a tenacious wee type in working back, and the team being better set up. That and Tav improving a bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopCat 4,511 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I think it's obvious that Tav is improving because he is playing alongside better players than last season. Â It's as simple as that really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Tav is a great player, and I have never understood the , let's face it, over the top criticism he has received in the past. Unfortunately ,some supporters just decide they don't like a player and nothing will ever change their minds, which is pretty immature. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueboyG 5,238 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Said to my mates last season when most wanted him out that I thought there is a player in there and it just needs better players around him to bring it out and I think we are seeing it now.

Now he has someone who is a natural looking right winger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
