Sepp van den Berg
Remember last season when fully fit the creative peeps did the whole pre-match big screen shenanigans about van den Berg with his name incorporated into the darts "Chase the Sun" music… and then he was on the bench.

He mentioned that some were back on grass, but didnt suggest fit to play

As a Cabinet member for Barnet Council, i can attest we would have done a much better job (as our name might suggest).

I'm wondering if he could start this weekend. Schuster wasn't able to go beyond 45 minutes, and Sepp wasn't able to come on to play 45 minutes. I'd be betting against it but anything is possible. He'll get more minutes at some point, I'm hoping that we don't feel the need to rush him.

Says a lot that after his first start of the season, no one commented here. He’s so unfussy and efficient you barely notice him sometimes. Thought he slotted back in really nicely and showed no signs of rust. IMO that was our best CB pairing out there yesterday.

Getting that first 70 minutes completed is a real milestone in his recovery; I hope he's full match fit by next weekend.

Lovely accurate first time pass to Thiago which led to our goal. Never noticed him which shows just how well he played.
Sepp van den Berg
A really good first display of the season. To be on point against a very good attack, he was up to speed and was a calm presence in defence.
We are blessed, SVB and Ajer, Schuster and Ajer, Collins and Ajer, even Hickey and Ajer, there are plenty of options for this season and hopefully Europe next.

Glad to see he's getting healthier. Certainly some rust to shake off though, I'd prefer Schuster at this point based on recent performances.

Are you able to expand your comment by letting us know what the other CBs have ability-wise that SVB doesn’t have?

Last season, Sepp was our highest-rated centre back by WhoScored... he must have something.

Everything except a goal or two. He might put that right tomorrow night…

One is our captain, one is our most recent player of the month, and the other has been our most consistent CB this season.
I have nothing against Sepp, and he was generally fine last year. But I don't think it is crazy to say that he shouldn't be handed a starting spot this year based on his play last year. Even last year, he was never 'undroppable' with respect to how good he was. I feel as though I've seen more out of Ajer and Schuster this season. I'd currently have him fourth on the depth chart as well.

This is probably the biggest debating point for our squad at the moment,having 4 real quality players fighting for 2 spots is brilliant.yes...if i so desired

Sorry, for a moment I thought you were referring to Ziggy’s comment about opinions

I think Schuster was unlucky to lose his place, but Sepp excellent.
Barring injuries, Collins does not automatically get back in this team.

I think his leadership is sorely needed. We've never had it so good at CB, 4 excellent options (including VDB)

I think leadership was sorely needed against Sunderland the other day, when Collins played. And don't think it was lacking today; Ajer has really stepped up.

VDB and Ajer were excellent - very solid and assured, and look like our strongest pairing. Schuster has everything to his game except experience. Collins surprisingly looking like a fourth choice for the foreseeable future!

Ajer has been my player of the season so far, but today could have been Sepp's best in a Bees shirt

It's Sepp's style to go about his work without any dramatics; he doesn't seem to do many of the last-ditch tackles as he reads the game so well. Personally, I think he's our best centre back and working his way to full fitness after his long injury spell, so only going to get better.
