The debate has ended. Bidwell is the first choice.

Da Silva should have had to win the Jersey off bidwell thought it was very harsh that he lost his place bidwell was very solid last season

If we are to have a squad, da Silva is more than adequate for that area of the pitch. My main reservation about him is his size defensively.

He will be on high wages and was signed as first choice. Bidwell won’t be staying and we will probably try and offload in January

Agreed G - I'd be picking Bidwell over da Silva. Just don't think da Silva is that bad, just more vulnerable defensively (PNEs equaliser being a prime example)

I think he's been harshly criticised for the goal at PNE, he's only 3 foot tall but managed to get a defensive header away when being challenged by a far taller player.
Yes, the header fell on the edge of our area, but It's hardly his fault that a Preston player was loitering there, completely free and with the time to control the ball and pick his spot with no city player even in the same post code!

Come on, it's basic defending. You don't head the ball back into danger.

I think he was also at least partly at fault for Swansea’s equaliser.

He should have headed for a corner

I think yesterday showed that Bidwell is decent in the attacking third. People see 'attacking' as someone who can carry the ball and take people on, in Dasilva's case he often slows the game down or checks back. Bidwell busts a gut to get in the overlap and run on to a ball and looks to cross first time, getting the ball in before the defense has got back goal side and in shape. Much harder to defend against, and all bar 1 cross were decent.
Fitness wise he is an absolute machine.

Could have put it anywhere else but dropped it to the edge of the box in the danger. Its basic stuff and you'd get a bollocking at Sunday league level for that kind of defending.

He’s here because he’s ex Chelsea and comes with a special recommendation, Bidwell is better, it’s about time somebody took Adi’s little black book of ex Chelsea players off him and put it in the bin.

Don't wholly disagree, but as soon as the ball was crossed in, I looked at the player coming in at the far post against him, and thought 'mismatch' physically. He did well to get a header, but in his own penalty area/6 yard box he is always going to be more vulnerable than someone with a Stuart Pearce type of stature. For that matter, particularly in the first half yesterday, Ii was getting twitchy at Stoke pinging the ball over Latibeaudiere's head from the diagonal (albeit he dealt with it well, overall)

Think they wanted him off the books due to their overall wage bill.

We wanted to sign him in January and they were happy to get rid but wanted to sign a Wimbledon left back and that fell through
Like Palmer he was on crazy money at Bristol

Only with a handful of posters who are strangely silent at the moment
I hope you've got a new Bidwell doll on order, your existing one must be in tatters after yesterday
No I went out for a lovely Thai meal actually, thanks for asking.

I don't think either of them are poor players. Palmer - the main concern is his regular breaks from injury. He is a talented footballer, yet I understand why he frustrates some, as he is a bit of a maverick. If we are struggling to create anything, he is a useful asset. That said, anybody who isn't playing regularly will have a finger pointed at them, as regards to the wage bill. In a squad of 20 odd players, fans will always be knocking a good few of them.

They are both poor signings
We’ve had what Dabo, Wakefield, Da silva, Palmer and Collins who have once been at Chelsea
Other than Dabo in L1 and first championship season they’ve not justified their signings
