Don't think you can worry about filling his boots, there will be plenty of others who will make big impact for your team.
The middle of your side is very strong, and we had to go wide to get over your line, and I can't see that changing for a few years.
You'll be up there and to be fair, I'd be dissappointed not to see you up there, you've got a great club, a great set of supporters and a fantastic team to follow. Your te only team we haven't managed to beat this season!
Hope you go all the way and win the GF, and we can have another go at trying to beat you next season.
