For me it's not about who is physically the strongest.
It's which 7 are most willing to swing punches in a tunnel if needed, to defend their teammates.
Be like a pair of scrappy dos, they'd be all bark and no bite IMO. Enciso seems like the type to enjoy winding oppo players up if we're on top.
JPVH can handle himself if called on, I reckon.
Much needed. I feel like we're looking a bit thin.
What we reckon?
Dunk
Igor
Van Hecke
Veltman
I could be wrong but I can imagine Undav having a bit of the Maupay about him
Milner?
Steele
Dahoud looks like he'd be diplomatic and try to solve things with words, can imagine him with the calm...
In years past it was a bit of a struggle. This year we've got about 12.
My first team squad
Duffy
Stocko
Baldock
Sidwell
Murray
Dunk
Stephens
Hemed just misses the cut as he often looks a bit sad - however, if anyone hurt a hair on his darling Beram's head, he'd be STEAMING in there.
I don't...
Also, no one is mentioning Sam Baldock, who whilst not "tough", is CONSTANTLY involved in niggles on the pitch with the opposition. He would definitely GOB OFF but probably stand back whilst the likes of Skalak WADED IN.
How could I forget Skalak? He'd be the one to bring a KNIFE and make everyone else go woah woah woah. Look at those eyes. He's not all there.
Kayal
Skalak
Stephens
Sidwell
Dunk
Goldson
Knockaert
That's my 7.
