As good as he is on the ball in tight positions, you sometimes need him to pull wider to the touchline and stretch the play in attacking places, he's often too willing to come inside and almost gets in the way.
Didn’t think Dasilva played badly but his limitations were on show, few times they switched it high and he struggled, and also just got swamped sometimes on the left.
Do you think he’s told to do that?As good as he is on the ball in tight positions, you sometimes need him to pull wider to the touchline and stretch the play in attacking places, he's often too willing to come inside and almost gets in the way.
The ball that was pinged from their left to their right behind the acres of space that Dasilva left occurs time and time again.
Last night Dasilva got nowhere the winger who collected the ball almost on the touchline and drove into our box and got his short away which Dovin parried.
Shocking defending and it happens time after time from him.
Dasilva does get targeted a lot and that is a problem at this level.
Especially when we don't really cross cover our fullbacks.
Viveash' mate same as collinsI honestly don’t know why we signed him in the first place and chased him so hard.
Basically he was all agreed the January before the summer he signed… whyyyyy

Or the idea it’s always because he’s out of position when every full back sits in the same area to push whoever is on the overlap wide but also able to come central if needed.It's absolutely bizarre that people just pretend like this doesn't happen to Bidwell too
And MVE on the other flank, it's not a Bidwell v Dasilva thing it's literally just what happens to full backs.

We’d been looking for a LB for years, basically since McCallum left. Clearly it’s a scouting blind spot.
Is it that much of a blind spot? Maatsen was decent, then Bidwell has proven to be a good signing.
The only real shocker has been Dasilva, which seemingly wasn't a scouting decision but rather a Viveash recommendation.
We've had more troubles at RB / RWB I'd say. We've had Dabo who just broke down in his first season in the Champ, Dacosta, Kane, BNC who ranged from average to how are you even a footballer.
If anything I think it's more than full backs and wing backs are difficult positions to recruit for. There's a lot of shit out there and very limited quality unless you pay premium.
Bidwell is an OK lower end championship fullback and never really held down the spot as his own. The others were loans.
I’m not on the “Dasilva is the worst footballer ever” train tbh.
Same on the opposite side though, with exception to MVE the best RB / RWB we've had since Dabo was a loan and he was exceptionally average.
It's not a LWB / LB problem in isolation. Decent wing backs / full backs are just hard to come by.
I don't think Dasilva is the worst footballer ever either, but he's very limited at this level and doesn't really have the attributes to be successful in the Championship by putting in stand out performances.

he’s missed 6 games since joining with injury
in the remaining 137 games he’s been in the squad he’s started 94 which is 70%. Played 20 off the bench and not played 23 times.
I think you’ll be hard pressed to find many in this squad who play as much as him
For some fans and Robins.And yet consistently a new LB is top of the recruitment list for both fans and managers. He’s an OK backup but he’s not good enough for where we want to be.
For some fans and Robins.
what evidence is there that Lampard wants a new LB to replace him, he’s given him a 2 year contract.
With him playing LB we’ve finished 6th, 9th and are on course for another top half finish.
We’ve been linked to lots of players. I’d say the evidence of Bidwell signing a new 2 year contract weighs in favour of Lampard being happy with him much more than twitter rumoursIm sure we’ve been linked with LBs this window.
This is the Eccles and Allen defence and by your logic we don’t need any new players ever cos the existing ones got to 6th and 9th.

Yeah MvE was a revelation (see my post about him when he joined). Just don’t get the outrage at spending a couple of hundred thousand on a needed position and the angry mob demanding Ady Viveash pays for his crimes.
Bidwell's spent the majority of his career in top-end Championship teams.Bidwell is an OK lower end championship fullback

You’re sure, then show me the statsIf you look at players who have played since Bidwell joined there will be loads that have started more than 70% of available games I'm sure

I've just done a bit of googling.Bidwell's spent the majority of his career in top-end Championship teams.
There's a reason for that.
You’re sure, then show me the stats
Who are the 5 please.There's 5 in the current squad alone, without checking previous years
Who are the 5 please.

Rudoni – 94%
MVE – 88%
Thomas – 88%
