First 7-8 he was dynamite. Even the other week he came on against someone, can't remember who, beat 4 players with direct pace. We literally now have no one in the team who is quick. The championship thrives on pace
It says that we are loaning him straight back.

We completely wasted him. Someone like him who can run with the ball at pace and create chances should have had tons of opportunities in our midfield. But we insisted he was a wing back against all evidence instead. Oh well.
I think it's a shame as I really rate him going forward. I'd rather have him near the opposition penalty box than McCallum, yet I'd prefer McCallum down the other end.
I think Robin's just prefers the increased likelihood of a surer defence
It depends if it is part of the deal like maddison and mccallumWe won't now Giles has gone back.

He was so obviously a wing back. He was not suited to a central role at all.

According to transfermarkt McCallum has as many assists (1) and more goals than Giles.
I think it was blatantly obvious he was gone. Mentioned on more than occasion to you and others in last few weeks.
He was never going to work in our system. And completely disagree he was the most EFFECTIVE link!?

Arent we signing that 18 year old LWBCan't blame them.
It's a shame we had the striker injuries otherwise we wouldn't have needed an extra loan there and we'd be able to keep him.
I guess we'll have to recall Mason now.
Any chance we dont loan this Scottish lad back now then?
Do they want kasta as a sweetenerYes, that is now what is going to be agreed.

How about a slider?Not sure you understand the concept of a sweetener.

Now it makes sense as to why Robins stopped playing him, 1 loan too many and someone had to be left outTheir manager says not:

And his one goal and assist this season came playing RWB when Dabo was injured.That's correct.
In fairness to Giles though, his Expected Assists (xA) is good at 3.54 compared to McCallum's 1.15 - seems we've just failed to capitalise on the chances.
Been saying this for weeks we look to work it wide and cross to 1 man,hopefully robins has addressed this going into Wednesdays game...We already see how few assists Dabo has, despite a number of excellent crosses every match, because he gets level with the box and has no-one to aim for. So there's no point doubling up and having two wingbacks bombing forward crossing the ball into 1 striker, who isn't especially good at heading the ball anyway.
We have to get a better 2nd AM so that we can play more effectively through the middle if we are going to persist with the box formation. We need to retain possession long enough in the opposition's half so that we can get the AMs into the box and the 2 deeper midfielders to within a 30 yard shooting range.
Would have liked to see Giles play ahead of McCallum in a 4-4-2 formation - in reality MR was never going to be this attacking and so tbf it made sense for him to go back especially as we had six loans takes out the need to leave one out of the squad.
I do think McCallum is better overall at LWB particularly defensively - however wish the lad luck hope he does well apart from when he plays against us later this season! Good luck Ryan.

I’m fine mate thanksYou do love a bit of 4-4-2 action, how is 1984?
A flat 442 will have us relegated QUICKWell with Giles gone you'll all be glad to hear my 4-4-2 formation has well and truly hit the buffers!
