What?
Not really a gotcha, he was back goal side and the player had to go backwards. When Dasilva gets caught out (and it's multiple times a game) the opposition player usually has acres to drive into to behind him, and leads to a goalscoring chance from a cross from the position the player has exploited. This isn't the case in this instance, there's another 4-5 passes before the goal, so 2-3 phases of play later.
There was acres behind for him to drive in to! He decided to come back, though it might have been because there wasn't quite enough on the pass, either way it led to a goal.
The lengths people go to to exonerate Bidwell is absolutely insane. If that was Dasilva people would be screaming blue murder - and understandably so, it was rubbish defending.

If that’s playing “really well” then our standards are in the bin

On Eccles my observation was that he’s maybe still a little awkward in what FL is asking him to do in his favoured 4-3-3. There was something about the positions he was taking up, the runs he was making and where he was looking for a position to offer something for Grimes to pick out which seemed a little off. Rudoni and Torp seem more adept at it.
It’s the same concern I’d have for Sheaf really if Grimes is the anchor and he’s expected to be a little more dynamic and move between the 8-10 position.

He spent the first 20 mins hiding. He literally didn't know where he should be. Taking up some really odd positions, getting in others way.

I saw him make two tackles in the space of about 30 seconds in the second half, on our RHS near the touchline. Your stats look made up.

Yeah, this is fair. He was invisible to start the game. Noticeably loads better as the half went on and in the second half.

Remember it, it was right in front of us.

He also played 2 or 3 long passes forward to Simms and Bidwell in the 1st half, the 2(1?) to Simms set up a couple of chances the 2nd which eventually ended up as the 1st goal and the one to Bidwell was crossed and cleared for the corner we scored from. It is easier to get 90-100% pass completion rate if they are short or backwards passes but not so easy if they are forwards and trying to create something. In the 1st half Binks hit a crossfield pass to MVE that was too hard but was applauded for an unsuccessful pass as it was progressive. Once again some are using stats to criticise a player, I though Eccles was OK yesterday. I thought Grimes was motm as his short passes and movement kept us moving and was the basis that allowed Rudoni, EMC & Sakamoto to play well.

This wasnt Eccles worst hame by any stretch of the imagination, he played well, did what he was meant to do, he’s not sharp considering he’s hardly played recently and should have been taken off earlier but he had a good game especially that first half
Haha absolutely fucking mental. It was a mistake by Bidwell, it's OK to admit it lads, the world won't end.

In the 1st half Kitching was having a go at Bidwell and wanted him to drop a bit deeper but Bidwell just ignored him. I like Bidwell but I think he is too high at times and easy to play over and into the space where he should be. Would I rather have JDS? Fuck no, he is clueless about positioning and always seems to be on the outside watching a game that he isn't involved in. I understand that JDS may get some game time between now and the end if the season as Bidwell may need resting but if it's in a back 4 I'd rather we put Binks there.
Yeah it's a huge blunder
Oh you're doing that thing again where you make up stuff that people haven't actually said, sound.

he talks even more rubbish on that
Yes it is completely different that's my point, one gets criticised (rightly), one does not. It's absolutely bizarre.
Oh look, Grendel is joining in one someone else's conversation again, desperate for attention and for someone to like him.
Enjoy your circle jerk lads, I'm off. Don't miss me too much.
