I guess it would leave us with a bit more depth for the remainder of the season. Wilson-Esbrand not really up to speed yet so might come goodWhere does this leave Wilson-Esbrand?
'Former Chelsea youngster' is getting a bit predictable, mind.
Didn't Wilson-Esbrand play a more advanced role against Norwich? Has he got a bit of Maatsen about him?
Going by their forum, happy to let go to free wagesIs this one Brizzle would want to keep or be happy to let go
Where does this leave Wilson-Esbrand?
I’m just waiting for a sneaky Tammi Abraham bid if we cash in on Vic.'Former Chelsea youngster' is getting a bit predictable, mind.
Wondering if...
Sign Jay Dasilva
Send Wilson Esbrand back which opens up another loan spot
Then able to get a loan ST or AM in...
Evening lads,
FWIW I really like Jay. Firstly he’s a real loveable lad, your fans will warm to him pretty soon I’d say. Always plays with a smile on his face… gives 100% etc.
Secondly he’s a quality footballer. Technically one of the best players we have. Very good in tight spaces to get away from his man with his quick feet.
But, like most players at this level he does have some flaws. First one is the obvious one, he is only 5ft7 so opposing teams do target that. Another one is his pace and being able to beat his man by getting to the byline. He’s not very quick and for a modern full back, you do need that.
The reason we’re letting him go is probably for financial reasons and that he’s not getting ahead of Cam Pring at moment. He’s on a big wedge, coming from Chelsea youth we signed him the same summer as Palmer and Kalas.
Having said all that, it’s hard to believe that he’s still only 24. So he’s got his best years ahead of him! Feels like he’s here forever. He is also best mates with Kasey Palmer, they were inseparable together here at the time.
Hope it works out for himLove the lad and I’ve got no doubts that you will too.
Undav came on as sub in cup-tie last night v Liverpool, maybe one for the summer even then won’t be cheap.Sell Vik, buy Dasilva, send back JWE loan in Undav. Sorted.

What’s he like defensively?
He got robbed by Hamer for our winner down there last season didn't heDecent defensively.
I don’t recall anybody really tearing him a new one. He just goes about his business quietly
He needs to work on his forward play if anything. Like I’ve said, he’s great in your own half and around the half way line with the link up play to midfield. But he doesn’t really effect the game from that point onwards.

He did in the 88th minute, so not as close to the first team as we may think. Plus, it may possibly have been for an appearance bonus ? And I'm not sure he even touched the ball in the remaining time.

Nah, Hi ho Da Silva liningI think the most important thing if we do sign him is that someone comes up with a chant for him to the music of Rui Da Silva - Touch Me
Swap with Bidwell? From what I am reading they are both defensively minded wing backs. We need a marauding full that can offer something different.Bristol reporter on Twitter saying it is hanging on a replacement coming in which he says is unlikely

The reason I say swap deal is Bidwell was at Swansea which is much nearer to Bristol and maybe he has ties in the south Wales area?
He's closer to where he grew up, and also to where he played much of his career, here than Swansea.Swap with Bidwell? From what I am reading they are both defensively minded wing backs. We need a marauding full that can offer something different.

We don't like players smiling round these parts......
If thats true we absolutely should not sign this lad then. Bidwell is a steady player but we need a bit more in the opponent's half to progress. To sign a Bidwell understudy with similar capabilities and shortcomings as Bidwell would be a poor decision.Bidwell is superior- this is ridiculous
