Wrong question. It should be: is the mix of the player's fitness/quality better than the next best option - a fit NQR player. It's not black and white. I would still take MB at the moment as he approaches full fitness after injury over anyone else I can see at the club for his role.

Yea so would I, that still doesn't tell you too much about the quality of the Bater as the rest of our "tall" fwds are not great. He does a job but he has a number limitations is all I say about him. He will have games where he excels and games he will look like he is not getting out of 1st gear but it will be the same effort each week.

All players, bar a few, have limitations. Part of fottball is getting the best out of players and using their strengths to help the team. We could only dream that all our players were perfect, or close to it.
