Great to see him back. He looks sharp and really up for the battle. Another player BBM seems to be getting the best out of.

Having him back for the second part of the season is huge, Rubin still to return as well.

I have been really impressed.. he looks in really good condition as well. They clearly had him working hard when doing his rehab

Tanner is a game changer on his day. Looks really fit now but needs more games to get back to full flow for sure :bluescarf:

Ollie is not a round peg in a square hole. He is what he is; a modern wide forward. I don't think we have anyone like him at the club.
I am still convinced that Ashford is a attacking centre midfielder and would love him to have a crack at that role

Davies looks so out of form and is more of a 433 forward rather than this 4231 wide attacking midfielder and his confidence looks to have been shaken a bit.

Willock is a flat track bully and everyone knows he will cut inside or pass it, he will keep possession rather than attack his full back on the outside.

Ollie wants to cut inside but will go aggressively go outside and dink a ball into an area. But if push come to shove we could play him at full back as he does drop back and will give it out a bit.

I believe he is made for this system as we are so pass centric that the opposition stay very compact, but ollie just wants to go at you. I would love a mirror image on the other wing !!

Having a winger that will try and get past his man is what we needed.

We can now play Kellyman behind Salech.

Great to have him back.

I think all teams will fear us going forward.

Think we need a similar type of CF as cover for Salech though we have done ok up till now.

I’ve been really impressed with him this season. At the end of last I really wouldn’t have been bothered if we got rid of him as he looked totally out of his depth, along with Rubin.
However this year he looks very good and one of the first names on the team sheet. Is he a better player, or like Rubin has now found his level. Who knows I certainly don’t, as I said before we can only judge him on current form and opponents.
An excited to see how he performs next year at a higher level.

Tanner is an excellent player he has strength, pace , can score goals, gets up.and down.

I have seen him play very well as a defensive wing back when we had full back issues.

His strength, size pace adds a different dimension to wing play compared with smaller wingers.

Good lad .

Fantastic to have him back. Keeps the defence occupied at all times.

Our best winger. He seems to go off-script and make things happen.

Id like to see us sign a decent winger this Jan.
