ian1964 10,466 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I think Tav is still the better RB, Hodson is a steady player who also likes to get forward, however I think both of them playing gives us a strength/balance to the team so I am quite happy they both are playing.

Thoughts? Agreed the team looks far more balanced with both playing. Tav missed three good chances tonight that he on another day might score. Tonight's team is the strongest we have imo. I will have no problem if this team plays against the tims. . Edited December 17, 2016 by pete 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windass could replace Tav in midfield. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,302 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) In games like yesterday's this system works. Tav was complementing the defensive midfield work of Halliday and added some welcomed steel. Likewise, he had the freedom to go forward. Could well be that we are trialling this for the Scum game. We sure looked more safe at the back with Hodson, who IMHO is backing up the centre halfs better.

aweebluesoandso 290 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Tav has more of an attacking element to his game, but Hodson for me is the more steady defender less prone to lapses in concentration. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,529 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Hodson is more defensively sound, but I also think he's more of a team player -- his instinctive one-twos with Waghorn, Holt were terrific to watch. However, Tavernier is a very good player for us; it'll maybe just take a little time to figure out his exact role. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Cole 0 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I think Hodson is a better RB. I mentioned in the match thread that we finally have some strength in depth now, and the manager has some real selection headaches. For example, if Hodson is at RB, I'd still like to hav Tav in the team - but then where does Windass go? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, if Hodson is at RB, I'd still like to hav Tav in the team - but then where does Windass go? It is probably a thing for where we play and whom we play. Tav adds steel and pace to midfield, plus is willing to shoot. Windass is more left-sided, adds less steel, but more technique ... and also likes to shoot. I don't mind if Windass gets fully fit first. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,253 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Hodson for me as I believe he gives our right sided centre back the chance to play and as such Kiernan is vastly improved,this also is helped by Hill playing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
