Mccallum is much better defensively, including defending corners. We need two players for the wing back positions as they're so important to the way we play. Horses for courses on who plays I suspect

I completely agree, it just seems weird to have 2 loans in the same position. You would assume the parent clubs want some assurances regarding game time.

Gobsmacked. Says as much about Norwich as it does about sam.

Not sure they got what they wanted. He’s much better in the air than Giles but Giles is faster and has improved passing and crossing. As others have said it’s about having a squad. Feel sorry for mason

Some of you lot need to go back to sleep and come back when you’ve woken up properly

 

[cc84cov]

Mason was good last season until we changed the system from a flat 4 into the wing back system we currently use

It is what it is

 

[Nick]

Agree in both games so far we have been most exposed down the left. Also I think this one signing will allow Mark Robins to replace 2 players. Mason and maybe covet for the injuries to Jobello/Jones as Giles gives us an option at left wing.

We still need Walsh or similar and an attacking midfielder to put pressure on or better Allen.

Jobello played on the right, as did Jones apart from years ago when he first signed.

Ironic.

 

[ccfc1234]

Walsh is not coming mate people need to get over it.

Are you able to read and comprehend words as they are written? I said Walsh OR SIMILAR. I am not obsessed with Walsh so not sure why you would have that impression??

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Sam can cover RB as well can’t he?

 

[cc84cov]

Another CAM loan from the prem is all we need possibly now we’re looking in great shape

 

[cc84cov]

Very good point

 

[SkyBlueScottie]

It is an odd move, we've used loans on the same position, but more odd that Norwich have allowed him back here. Usually clubs would look at sending him elsewhere, but hey ho. We know he's decent. Plus it's a long old season.

 

[ccfc1234]

Jobello played on the right, as did Jones apart from years ago when he first signed.

Agree 100% I was not meaning direct replacements. Especially for Jobello who was very much a right sided player. Jones much less so.

I don't recall him ever playing Right Back?

 

[fernandopartridge]

Well this is great for depth but Giles has been outstanding on the left. Giles has the most crosses in the Championship to date. I can only think Giles will be pushed up on the left in place of Allen.

Illogical. So the best crosser and a very one footed one at the club will be moved centrally.

 

[Nick]

Sam can play up front and Giles can go in goal.

 

[mr_monkey]

It’s because he has pace you could play him there like on FIFA

Gotcha, that makes sense then

 

[cc84cov]

Norwich have sent a player back to a club he’s familiar with to get game time which he provost won’t get just yet at their club in a league their currently at doesn’t make sense sending him back to league 1 he’s above that.

makes sense for Norwich & us

 

[Frostie]

1 game in his entire career when Dabo was suspended.

Doesn’t make sense for us if we have to guarantee him game time.

 

[mr_monkey]

Out of position? He's 20!

Now I know you are on a wind up this morning

 

[SBbucks]

Sorry to see Mason go (if that actually happens), thought he was one of our best players ten games or so into last season.

Agreed, he did play well early last season when we were playing 4 at the back. The minute we switched to wing-backs (half-time at home to Fleetwood?) his days were numbered, he cannot play that role anywhere near the level required. No criticism of him, it’s just the way it is. Robins now has two good players perfectly suited to the way he wants to play.

 

[Nick]

Played there last season couple of times

Who against?

Except there's no guarantee he'll get the game time with the start Giles has made, hence the surprise from most people.

 

[mr_monkey]

But we don't, same as Giles when he came on loan last season and only played a tiny bit

We won’t have made any guarantees ronins isn’t that way players earn the shirt they keep the shirt we know how mark ronins works by now

Might have been once filled in for Dabo possibly twice but he defo had at least a game there last year

Norwich only have one left back - their fans don’t think it makes any sense

Who needs to go back to bed?

 

[SBbucks]

Very good point

Based on what? Sam is very, very left footed, and I don’t think he ever played there. Sterling did it against Sunderland once, maybe thinking of that? Happy to be corrected if I’m mistaken.

It’s not how loans work though

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

I am so confused by this theory, so you want to play a lwb as a cam instead of a player who excels in the cam role.... Allen doesn't do the spectacular but we would be a much poorer team without him in it, it's no coincidence that our great form last season coincided with his return to the team

Tongue firmly in cheek

 

[Tommo1993]

Not a complaint, but scratching my head over this one.

 

[Marty]

Having Giles as an option at AM doesn't seem all that stupid to me, he looks very comfortable driving at players and hes rapid so is the obvious outlet if our backs are against the wall, didn't Shrewsbury move him there once they realised he can't defend?

Giles has the lwb spot and it's down to sam to get if off him.

 

[cc84cov]

It’s not how loans work though

So what about Giles ??

So that means we have to LWB both with guarantees to play ?

Mason to Norwich
