InglewoodJack Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Interesting thing I just noticed- he has 4 goals in the last 3 games; the last two were draws and 3 games ago, Motherwell won by 2 goals when Bair got a brace. Technically his goals earned them 4 points, or the difference between 9th (5 points out of the relegation tournament) and 11th (4 points from last place). He's not exactly scoring garbage time goals either. blueseeka, johnyb, Obinna and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d consider him our 3rd striker at the moment. Nice run of form but he needs to finish the season strong. He’s always struck me as a toolsy guy that just hasn’t been able to put it all together. Shows flashes of high calibre skill and athleticism. Edited February 3 by FC_Hali Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows flashes of high calibre skill and athleticism. From what I saw a few years back in Olympic qualifying, he looked lazy or disinterested most of the time and he didn’t use his physical tools to his advantage. What I see now is the opposite. He always had the skill and athleticism but just didnt seem focused enough to use them effectively. Perhaps he’s a later bloomer in this regard but I think if he keeps going the rest of the year, perhaps a transfer to a higher level and a spot on the Copa side is not so far fetched.

Agreed- but after Larin and David it kinda becomes dealer’s choice- maybe they go Cavallini for the concacaf experience, or maybe it’s JRR because we apparently rate him super highly. Maybe they just treat Millar as the third striker. I’d like to see Bair, I think the last batch of goals he’s scored have been different than what we see from Larin and David. Not that he’d play against T&T, but I think he’s earned a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigi riva Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Hopefully Bair continues with his nice form , and grows with some confidence , I remember watching him in the Qalifying a few years back and he looked like a waste of a roster spot . 2026 is coming , more depth is not a bad thing MtlMario 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Just to prove how far we’ve come, a move to La Liga isn’t even the most exciting theo-related development in CANMNT land these days.

BearcatSA Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I hope that his form would put him into the March squad, probably at the expense of Russell-Rowe. gigi riva 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreeing to a contract termination and then betting on himself at a new club, for a player of his younger age, is always the better option than just drawing a pay cheque for not playing, as some at the time suggested he should have done.

Stoppage Time Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I said awhile ago that Bair had to up his game in the SPL to have a sniff at the CMNT. To his credit, he has done just that. He's looking good of late. Now, he needs to maintain this improvement and build on it. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on him to earn his place. Good to see him having some success. I know some want him to move on already, but I wouldn't mind him staying another year. Just settling in and to work on improving, rather than on relocating/new club/new environment, etc. BearcatSA, Obinna, NVsoccer and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullback Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Theo’s got seven league goals this season which is good for 8th in the league and only two non-Celtic/Rangers players ahead of him.

But a striker in form at a relatively decent level is a good guy to have for March. Obinna and Watchmen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David and Larin are locks and I still think they take Cavallini, but if they take a 4th I think it's solidly Bair now. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be ok with him for Trinidad, especially if Adekugbe's injury frees a roster spot, but 4 strikers at the Copa America tourney might be a bit much considering Tajon, Millar, Corbeanu and Davies are so versatile and can play striker if need be.

I'm the opposite. Assuming he's playing well, the Copa is exactly where I'd want Bair to be. Big tournament experience. I'd look to drop Cavallini for that event.
