He does look like a squat axe murderer who's just been rejected for WWE - that can't help.

I’m sure it’s just his persona seems dull and not X Factor enough
Mastsen was poor defensively - I’d take Bidwell every time - also he’s not a loan but our player - he gets in great positions going forward as well but the midfield often don’t spot his movement

Whether they're permanent or loan is irrelevant when discussing who is the better player.
Bidwell gets the ball plenty in advanced positions but his final ball is lacking. Bidwell, in a worse team with less possession, makes more crosses per game than Maatsen this season but his cross completion rate is much worse.
The modern wing back doesn't need to be just defensively solid, they need to be good at both ends of the pitch. What Maatsen may lack defensively he more than makes up offensively and on overall balance is a better player.
I'd wager almost every team in this league that plays with wing backs would choose Maatsen over Bidwell.
Again, I'm not criticising Bidwell, he's a decent player. I'm just praising Maatsen.
Comfortably better at what? Awful defensively and exciting going forward but with a wayward final ball more often than notBidwell is a very good defender but doesn't give us enough going forward.
Maatsen is comfortably the better player.
This is not a criticism of Bidwell, he's a good player, it's just praise for Maatsen.

remember this guy thought Hyam was a better defender than McFazdean
Scored 2 very nice goals anywayI think he only was credited with 1 assist all season
His crossing was probably the weakest part of his game, but in fairness to both him and Bidwell it is not easy to pick out what is more often only one or two players in the boxExcept his final ball is better than Bidwell and the stats show it.
Saying Maatsen is better than Bidwell does not mean I think Bidwell is shit. If I say Messi is better than Ronaldo that does not mean I think Ronaldo is shit
Yeah his crossing was poor and his decision making in the final third was poor. I think he managed just a single assist whilst playing at wing back.His crossing was probably the weakest part of his game, but in fairness to both him and Bidwell it is not easy to pick out what is more often only one or two players in the box

Dare I say shootingYeah his crossing was poor and his decision making in the final third was poor. I think he managed just a single assist whilst playing at wing back.
The only attribute Maatsen is far better than Bidwell is ball carrying.

you said he’s bang average
I'd agree with that, although not really an attribute you measure a wing back on, I think it was 1 goal and 1 assist whilst playing wing back. For me he looked better in midfield.Dare I say shooting
I can't remember where he was playing when he scored at BristolI'd agree with that, although not really an attribute you measure a wing back on, I think it was 1 goal and 1 assist whilst playing wing back. For me he looked better in midfield.

Midfield, Bidwell was left wing back, same against reading. His only goal at left wing back was the screamer against Fulham.I can't remember where he was playing when he scored at Bristol
So I didn't say he's shit then? You got there in the end, well done.
City players used cross into dustbins in training. Willie Carr was an expert. It’s a lot different picking out your exact spot in a game though.His crossing was probably the weakest part of his game, but in fairness to both him and Bidwell it is not easy to pick out what is more often only one or two players in the box
hes well above bang average and one of our best and most consistent players? He’s not bang average is he?
Sooooo, Vik’s actually shit?! Just the keepers are shitter. Good to know.Yeah, this. Even of the goals he has scored, most of them were poor efforts and arguably keepers should have done better.

Haha - was tempted to go there, but as I now live in Warwick, and as a former resident of the city, I refrained! - would have seemed like snobberyCan’t do that anymore as the bins are full of cats
What do you have in your Warwick bins, pheasants?Haha - was tempted to go there, but as I now live in Warwick, and as a former resident of the city, I refrained! - would have seemed like snobbery
Pheasants? To common, it’s Foie GrasWhat do you have in your Warwick bins, pheasants?
We have a team of bin cleaners, who live in the bins (rent free) and get Sundays off. Nothing but generosity in this neck of the woods.What do you have in your Warwick bins, pheasants?
Definitely worth a go. It's not even an overly risky like up either. You've got Burroughs playing further forward and he can also tackle but is super quick. Didn't realise it was his preferred position? If so even better.This won’t be the team but I’d go:
Moore
Rose Doyle Panzo
Dabo Hamer Sheaf Bidwell
Burroughs Palmer
Vik
Thought Dabo was OK when he came on, give Burroughs a run in his favoured position to see how he gets on, adds a bit of height, pace and energy to that front three. If it’s not working out bring Waghorn or Tavares on for him and go two up top.

Cardiff there for taking tonight, it's a mess on and off field for them at the moment so we need to be going for it. First goal going our way could see them crumble.
