theres 4 players we cant afford to lose at anytime. chaplin. riewoldt, maric, cotchin.
riewoldt - there is no other player on our list who can play kpf and consistently kick goals the way jack has. if he goes down who comes in. mcbean elton, maybe griffiths or astbury. trouble is the last two have been developed down back in recent times while the first two need a lot of development.
chaplin - without chaplin two seasons ago we didnt have an effective defensive kpd. atm there is only one other on the entire list in rance who has shown hes remotely capable of holding down a key defensive post.
maric - we dont have another rruckman who has remotely performed to ivans level. we all hope the underwhelming hampson will become a good player.
cotchin - well we dont run real deep in midfield depth but we arent thread bare either. anyway to lose our best mid and player while not as damaging as losing the others he cant really be replaced with a real high quality player.
