I know we have had players who've been in the spine of the team, who are arguably better than individuals who make up the current spine. But. As a spine playing TOGETHER. I think the current one is as strong as I can remember for a long long time.

As we all know all great teams have a strong spine. Can anybody think of a better one?

Mee Tarks

Defour Cork

Vokes / Wood

Marney and Jones over Defour and Cork?

Not for me.

The Vokes / ings is a fair shout though.....

I was going to follow this up with a fishing rod, but then I started to believe in my own troll with Vokes & Ings up front

I think you can debate whether weve been stronger up front, and we've probably been stronger (last season) at centre half, but i think we're stronger in the centre of midfield than weve ever been in the Premier League. The trio of Cork, Defour and Hendrick seems to me to have a bit of everything.

Agree on the centre half and the midfield is an upgrade on last season for sure.But overall the 17/18 spine edges , or more accurately, will go on to edge, last seasons.

A bench with Barnes, Walters, Wells, Airfield and, from what I've seen of, Taylor is a strong bench too.

It looks like we won't be playing 4-4-2 so it's hard to compare Vings vs Vokes and Wood. Midfield I think is obviously better now than it was.

Will vokes and wood be wokes or vood ??

I wouldn't argue with that Ringo.

Yeah the 4-4-2, that's a fair point.

Just nimani up front and this thread is sorted

The spine is the whole team on current form. They are all working their socks off. This is the best team for a long time.
You could call it "spineless"

There's a term for a whole team working their socks off.

The Sean Dyche Way.
