No, it’s round like your belly.

Because Collins, Bidwell, Kitching and Kelly are on the bench.

He's poor because he's been poor in general for us, most recently last week where he gifted the opposition a goal with some harebrained play in his own box.

Well Palmer has started out wide recently to enable us to keep playing 433 and we literally don’t have any natural wide players to replace Sakamoto, so maybe Robins figured it may as well just be O’Hare out wide too? But yeah, it could well just be the box.

Oh well. Let’s concentrate on our home games.
They're more likely to hit a high ball to him than Bidwell definitely. But opponents do not concentrate more attacks down our left when Dasilva plays compared to Bidwell

Exactly. Width is supposed to come from the wing backs.

Gonna need to see a source on this. This forum claims every full back is “targeted”.

Bidwell can defend. Which might be useful away to the baggies.

Draw is better than being thumped. And anyway we do not want promotion this year, so no, we do not need wins unless you think we could yet by some freak be relegated.

Well if we don’t want promotion and we can’t be relegated we must want a loss so may as well play for a win.

No ifollow so I’ll be patient and watch at the regular time tomorrow.
Right afterwards I’m headed fully off grid for a month so will watch Rotherham, Watford, Wolves (&Hull?) back to back to back when I’m home

It's an "ok" championship side. Yes.
It is not a top six side.

It's not hard is it, he fucks up more defensively that's why people have the perception that teams target him when he plays.
He probably gets targeted similarly to Bidwell but if he keeps fucking up and letting the opposition get crosses and shots in from that side people are gonna think he is being targeted.
Maybe exposing his defensive flaws is a better description than being targeted.
Like I said, they will hit more high balls to him I don't disagree with that.
But if you look at their last 4 starts each at left back (as Dasilva has started 4 in total) here are the percentage of opposition attacks down our left:
Bidwell:
38%
44%
27%
44%
Average: 38%
Dasilva:
50%
37%
33%
44%
Average: 41%
So almost identical.

Looks like we’re flexible enough for both - maybe a mid game change if needed.

I just don't think Da Silva suits the kind of high tempo counter game we'll need to beat these, he wants 5 touches every time the ball is with him and he's not even as quick as Bidwell.
