mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I genuinely think we now have a team that could rival the Walter Smith title winning teams of the past, but they have to go out and prove it over the course of the season. Out of our entire squad, who would you say was the one player that we really cant do without? For me it has to be Tav, followed by Barisic. Every other position we could almost swap in someone of equal ability, but Tav would be so hard to replace. Young Patterson has shown promise when he has played, so hopefully if the need arises he can step up and do us proud. Bassey I think is a bit rough round the edges, but his size and power would help his stepping in for Barisic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tav is without a doubt to me, the best fullback in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol loyal 6,248 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Think weāll see a lot of different names mentioned, which shows how strong we are. For me Iād agree our two full backs are the ones that would be hardest to replace, but Kent is the one who can win us games on his own so Iād probably go for him just in front of Tav and Barasic.

mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Amazingly, I don't think we will see many for Morelos, and he would have been the first choice if most last year. I fully expect Morelos to find his form again and us to go up a few levels yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tav is without a doubt to me, the best fullback in the league. You have changed my mind on saying Kent. Just. As you say, Aribo could possibly be a replacement short term but no one could fill in for Tav an do anything close to what he does.Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,287 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Tough question to answer based on just one player. Last year - Morelos. So far, this year - Goldson & Kent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMe 25,327 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Tav, by far, imo -Ā based on his performances so far this season and the fact we don't have anyone (even close) who can do what he does from the bench to replace him. Although, i can see an argument for most of the team at this point tbh. Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, this year - Goldson & Kent I would argue that Tav has been our key player this year, just shading Goldson, Kent and Hellander. He has popped up with a goal or assist in almost every match and has been solid defensively. I think if Goldson was to miss a game, I would have no worries about Balgolun stepping in when needed. Our Center backs are probably the strongest area in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyļ»æArse 53,277 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 If everyone was fit then Tav as his replacement is the one we've seen least of, and who has minimal experience. Barasic is similar, but at least we can comment on Bassey this season. Strength in depth everywhere else. We're in a good place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
British_Empire 9,648 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Helander/GoldsonĀ A formidable defensive partnership is essential.Ā Obviously scoring goals is equally important, but you can still score goals and lose football matches, easily.

Colin Traive 22,459 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 The strength of our side at the moment is the team ethic, not in our interest to highlight one to the exclusion of others. Team working superbly as a unit. Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
