All credit to Lats for keeping his head down and training hard, and taking the opportunity when it finally came along. He is definately a better defender than Woolfy and Kitching, even if his distribution isnt so good.

The one undeniable fact is, we rarely get beaten when Lats starts.

We have 4 'good' centre halves at this level. I don't think any of them, bar maybe Thomas, are good enough for the premier league. Defence is the area we will need to spend the most money on in the summer!

That said, Lati has always given everything, can play anywhere across the backline and even in the DM role. You need one or two versatile players in your squad in a 46+ game season and he's one of them!

No I don’t. You brought up Thomas. I think Latibeaudiere is our best out and out defender. That’s a whole thought. You get upset because I won’t say Thomas is a better defender when I don’t believe he is. Even though there’s other things he’s very good at. The only one of our CBs I’ve had nothing good to say about is Woolfenden. I’ve said I think Thomas will be in our first choice defence next year unless we splash more cash than I think. I just think he needs a proper defender and organiser alongside him because defensively he’s not perfect.

I’ve given reasons for my thinking including an example in the last game we played and I’ve got back sarcastic gifs and tagging in the SBT Arsehole Avengers. Such “debate” 🙄

"Can defend which is more than can be said for the other three"

Thats why i responded to you , i get you constantly have shit with other posters on here but i have no issues with you at all .. i think you are wrong and thats why i replied because of that statement alone .

No issues


I agree we need a top centre half next to bobby too btw

In the last two games Lati has been the one called over by Frank to receive instructions.

He appears to have some kind of unspecified authority as the instructions in the case of Southampton had to be concerning the attack - they can't have been purely defensive. Not bad for a bloke barely in contention for anything only weeks ago. He has known leadership skills and I think has captained in the past

Lati and DaSilva must be the most improved players in the squad. Amazing transformation from both of them. Thomas and Lati are a proper big guy and sweeper match up that seems to work well for us.
