Nah it's gotta be Bart aint it?

 

[lucus]

true true... the majority of the goals he has let in haven't been his fault. A great improvement on last season. Has made some excellent saves.... darlington he was on fire!

Have to agree with that Super Adam Barrett !

That's wot annoys me a little... Bentley is on form.. then gets an unlucky red card then he cant get bk in the team... when we all know when both r on Bentley is better than Hunt...

Yes, it also annoys me that competition for places is such that a player of Bentleys quality isn't guaranteed a starting place because the people who covered whilst he was suspended played so well that they couldn't be left out, and then continued to play as well.

for a couple of games hunt has played well as cm... lately he hasnt been nearly as affective eg oxford game where i felt he didnt participate that much... Fair enough on his day he is good in midfield but i think he is far more consistant in defence where he prefers to play.

It's called competition for places.

Hunt played pretty well in Bentley's absence... we were playing well also... what sort of message would it have given Lewis Hunt if he had been immediately dropped?

Doing it this way keeps everyone on ntheir toes.

But I agree that Bentley is more effective than Hunt in the middle of the park.

It's got to be Barrett, the division's best goal-getting centre half, so far. Gray has made a rapid improvement since his early season displays but overall Barrett has been consistently good all season.

Its a good problem to have for a manager.... im intrigued to c wot the starting line up will be on friday with still so many options at hand

 

[Pato the Blue]

Got to be Barrett IMO, has been brilliant, hasn't let himself or the club down, and long may it continue

A bit early for this? This time last year McSweeney would have been leading the way and look what happened to him.

 

[Andy_S]

At present time:

1) Barrett
2) Bentley
3) Maher

Which, bearing in mind this is only a discussion that has absolutely no bearing on anything whatsoever, makes it more interesting IMHO.

Why are you doing this now?

For the same reason that anyone asks "who is the best right back we have had?", or "what's the best starting XI?".

In my opinion, Bentley has been our best player so far and Tilson agrees with it (Well at least he did a couple of weeks back).

Honourable mentions must go to Barrett, Gray and Maher. From everyone else though, its a case of can do better.
