Who HAS to play?

Post by boyyanno » Sun Dec 09, 2018 4:52 pm

A lot of negativity regarding team selection before this weekend's game and by myself included, the question is who HAS to play out of our current players? For me:

Barnes, Tarks, Gudmundsson.

Tarks: Easily our best defender.

Gudmundsson: Our most creative player

Barnes: The only forward that gives us any foothold in a game.

Who else do people believe should be nailed on for the team sheet at the moment and why?

On current form Bardsley has to play,he sails close to the wind with his tackling,but he has given us an edge which rubs off on the rest of the team.

Right now?

Barnes - best man at linking midfield with attack as well as winning the ball
JBG - most creative outlet
Bardo - instrumental in the last two games with leadership, grit and determination
Vokes - wins balls when we are under pressure
Hendrick (in CM) - energy, physicality & height

Nobody is nailed on. We do need a settled side though.

On current form, ability and availability I would say.

Hart tarkowski JBG and thats it. Based on last two games Bardsley also.

I'd say Tarkowski, Taylor and Gudmundsson should be the only certainties right now.

Would love Pope and Ward back, who is this Gibson you talk about ? Bardsley a cert and also Ashley Barnes for me.

Hart
Bardsley
Tarky
Mee
JBG
Brady
Barnes

If we could sign 2* CMs (or just maybe an athletic one), a CF, a quick wide man (can be used off the bench) and a left back we would have a decent squad. As long as the new acquisitions improve the starting 11. Not been critical however I doubt this will happen in the next transfer window.
