As I say Baxter is plenty good enough for what we need, as is Cogley imo Santos in the top 2 all day long (in my opinion). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a decent team, losing one defender for a month isn't going to throw us off the rails, but of course if its Dixon rather than Traff for a long spell we'd have struggled. In some games I saw Trafford was hardly involved, no fault of his, neither was the opposition keeper sometimes. If we've got 75% possession and Santos/Johnstone etc aren't allowing the opposition many chances, I'm struggling with anyone saying the keeper is MOM or even in the top 5 or 6. Santos was our MOM in many many games, and in plenty others it was Bradley (Dempsey up there too but not if whole season taken into account). I respect all opinions but I don't even think its close that Bradley and Santos were the 2 players that had most influence on last season, they were/are genuine game changers. Trafford had some good games and he's a good keeper, Charles is a good striker but not for me as influential overall as Santos and Bradley, its not a criticism its just recognising what those two contributed.

Obviously we can all make that judgement in a couple of months. That spell when Santos missed 9 league games in Dec/Jan, we had mixed results - 4 draws, 2 defeats and only 3 wins. When he returned we won 5 on the trot (probably a coincidence, but hard to say we didn't miss him). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
