Him and EMC will be picked on form , fitness and the opposition I would imagine
He does get forward but it’s not that often for a LB and if we’re on a break it’s not often that Bidwell is up there with the attack. With regards to your last point, the bloke’s 31, to suggest he’s never susceptible to quick wingers one on one is ridiculous. He’s a good defender, I’m not hating on him, I’m just saying in time we will need better.
Keeping players happy/getting value for money spent. I know the onus isn’t on the fans to worry about the clubs finances but we’re still a club who has a limited budget for this level and would ideally be maximising money spent etc.
Players earn there position in the team. We need 2 players for each position. The days of having big name 1-11s only are gone. If we have players like EMC and Kitching on the bench then clearly that means other players are playing better
I think you are worrying too much , competition for places is healthy . Remove the competitive edge and players can become complacent
So no examples. Good. And what you said there wasn’t what you said in the original post. I mean, kudos on the insight that players that are getting on need replacing.
Add to that Torp , Rodrigues , Allen ,New CF then it is healthy . And it allows a manager to make proper game changing substitutions
This is a very odd take.
I think we will utilise 4-4-2 a lot more this season , especially when chasing games
Could have meant back up top
Yup, it's the way it has to be if you really want to challenge.
It’s a forum which has no bearing on anything in the real world, I’m sorry but I’m not going to trawl through hours of footage just to try and bolster an argument against someone I don’t know or care about, it’s really not that deep
Then stop making up absolute bollocks to fit an agenda, and nobody will call you out.So we can agree he needs replacing either this season or next season then? As for examples, I thought it was just a passing phrase you were using, you really expect me to remember games and names of wingers for every instance Bidwell has been done for pace?
And last season’s joint top scorer.
He was dribbled past 8 times last seasonSo we can agree he needs replacing either this season or next season then? As for examples, I thought it was just a passing phrase you were using, you really expect me to remember games and names of wingers for every instance Bidwell has been done for pace?
It’s not bollocks, Bidwell is just not a quick player, I don’t know why you’re thinking he is.
Really? You think Wright will be dropped?
I didn’t say he’s quick. I said he’s not slow. He’s literally mid-range speed. Tell you what, let’s sign Usain Bolt and see how he does at left back. Mind you, he’s getting on a bit now, so that might not work.
Rotated
Yes he did. Scored loads with his right foot and took penalties with his right.
We can at least try loaning him out. Left back is going to be a real issue if we have to rely on him for an extended spell.
He seems very 2 footed to me. I'm not sure what his strong foot is, which is obvious a good thing.
Two of rudoni torp saka wright Simms and emc won’t start
Dropping our joint top scorer, most expensive ever signing and one of our best players for someone who hasn't played above League 1 though?
Is that Eccles (with a lot of minutes) who according to some is shit and shouldn't be anywhere near the team.
Binks was on a high wage in Italy I gather. However 30k is well outside our wage structure and unsustainable. Maybe a signing on fee and then a top earner.
I was thinking they would have to sell but they don't look short of a pound or 2 having just bought their ground back. Looks like the Red Bull investment has been substantial.
I thought clubs could spend money on infrastructure and stuff and keep that separate than the playing budget which is what FFP is focused at.
