Stepped into the leadership role alongside sheaf and has rarely let us down in each position he’s been used
Really like him
Really like him
He's a proper good bloke
He's never gonna let us down...

Most squads that compete well at any level have players like Lats in them. He is unselfish, hardworking, reliable and is one of the fittest players in the squad. Seems a very unassuming lad that just gets on with it, he is a bit like Bidwell in lots of ways on the mentality side of it.
Very important member that goes about his business without fuss. I don't think he would get the accolades he probably deserves, but i don't think that bothers him. He will continue to get better and has been another very good bit of business as time has gone by.
Agreed, he's not the best at anything and tbh he's not in any version of my best 11 but with injuries and squad rotation I think having a player like him that can fill multiple roles is valuable. I actually wouldn't mind seeing us bring in the attacking version of Lati too, whoever that is.I think he’s one of the weakest additions to the squad technically. However, he is making up for that with his versatility, spirit and bravery and I hope that continues
He seems an intelligent and likeable lad as well.
EDIT - also think we’ll see him improve if he gets a run playing in the same bloody position for a good few games (not midfield).
So where do our defensive weaknesses lie?Brilliant signing.
We're some posters who said he's shit and only plays cos robins loves him just a few weeks ago. I think that might have just been frustration at a bad result being taken out on him though. Or perhaps not wanting to see him in midfield for even a second.
For me he is a steady Eddie in every position he plays and big part of our success this year.
We are attempting to play a more progressive game it sometimes leaves us openSo where do our defensive weaknesses lie?
(I’m not saying it’s down to him btw. Just that some love everyone yet we concede bad goals week after week. Somethings not right somewhere!).
There’s some truth in that. But it’s not like we are shaky only on the break when we have too many forward. We generally lack a tight defensive line.We are attempting to play a more progressive game it sometimes leaves us open
Just look at the goals we’ve scored
Mindset I meanThere’s some truth in that. But it’s not like we are shaky only on the break when we have too many forward. We generally lack a tight defensive line.
Exactly. Unsung hero (apart from this thread). He did look a bit off it on Friday. Hope it’s not because of too many games.
Including one where he played extra time.Possibly because of two Jamaica games the previous weekend and two long transatlantic flights? Just a stab in the dark.
After Friday, dodgy keeper! HahahaSo where do our defensive weaknesses lie?

He’s been a very good signing - people sometimes sneer at utility players for some reason, but when you’re working with a small squad like ours then they can be extremely valuable. No way we manage the transition from 3ATB to a back four as well as we have without him being able to plug holes where needed.
Almost as offensive as the song about his cockHe's never gonna give you up,
He's the best around,
He'll play in midfield or at right back,
He's never gonna make you cry,
And I'll tell you why
Latibeaudiere is a Sky Blue
Just what I was thinking if they need an experienced head in there to replace Kelly if funds permit and he still wants it?Look at the career James Milner has had at a string of top clubs. Fills in where needed, has long runs as a starter but can be brought on to steady a team and see out a game. So valuable
I think Jack Burroughs might be that player next seasonBeen a great signing. If we can find another lati to play a few positions in the summer then happy days.
And you would be correct
Who are we getting next from Swansea then?Interesting you drew a parallel with Bidwell. Because I think Bidwell and Lati are two of the best readers of the game we have, especially from a defensive point of view.

He doesn't seem to have played since he came back from injury, made just 1 appearance/7 minutes in the last 5, and not come on at all in the last 4.I think Jack Burroughs might be that player next season
