Do you think the earth is flat as well

No, it’s round like your belly.

Not sure why everyone thinks it's so bad. That's a decent enough Championship side.

Because Collins, Bidwell, Kitching and Kelly are on the bench.

 

[fernandopartridge]

He’s played over 150 games in the championship and represented England at every age group , but yeah he’s poor because a few on a forum say he is

He's poor because he's been poor in general for us, most recently last week where he gifted the opposition a goal with some harebrained play in his own box.

Looking forward to the ball getting within 30 yards of our left flank and hearing cries of 'ThEy'rE tArGeTiNg DaSiLvA!'

Teams do target him though. It’s not incorrect when people say it

 

[SBT]

There is no way that is a 4/3/3

Well Palmer has started out wide recently to enable us to keep playing 433 and we literally don’t have any natural wide players to replace Sakamoto, so maybe Robins figured it may as well just be O’Hare out wide too? But yeah, it could well just be the box.

I just don’t get why kitchen isnt in there.

Oh well. Let’s concentrate on our home games.

They're more likely to hit a high ball to him than Bidwell definitely. But opponents do not concentrate more attacks down our left when Dasilva plays compared to Bidwell

 

[Deleted member 9744]

No, suspect the box formation.

Edit: Just seen what you were replying to.

Exactly. Width is supposed to come from the wing backs.

They absolutely do.

 

[shmmeee]

They absolutely do.

Gonna need to see a source on this. This forum claims every full back is “targeted”.

It's hardly as if Bidwell has been playing well anyway. Lb/lwb is one area we need to strengthen in the summer.

Bidwell can defend. Which might be useful away to the baggies.

I’m sorry but you’re wrong. From the whistle they put it on Dasilva straight away because he’s a dwarf

 

[Ashdown]

Looks like we are concentrating on the cup then

When I show the wife my new plans for remodelling the downstairs:

I just don’t get why kitchen isnt in there.

This forum is hilarious.

We’ve drawn more than almost anyone in the division. We need wins at this point. No sense playing for draws

Draw is better than being thumped. And anyway we do not want promotion this year, so no, we do not need wins unless you think we could yet by some freak be relegated.

Big fan of Just Eat then ?

...poor old Wilson. Zero to hero and back to zero again. Good job he is a good bloke.

Well if we don’t want promotion and we can’t be relegated we must want a loss so may as well play for a win.

No ifollow so I’ll be patient and watch at the regular time tomorrow.
Right afterwards I’m headed fully off grid for a month so will watch Rotherham, Watford, Wolves (&Hull?) back to back to back when I’m home

I would come back at the beginning of next season mate

It's an "ok" championship side. Yes.
It is not a top six side.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

It's not hard is it, he fucks up more defensively that's why people have the perception that teams target him when he plays.

He probably gets targeted similarly to Bidwell but if he keeps fucking up and letting the opposition get crosses and shots in from that side people are gonna think he is being targeted.

Maybe exposing his defensive flaws is a better description than being targeted.

 

[PVA]

Like I said, they will hit more high balls to him I don't disagree with that.

But if you look at their last 4 starts each at left back (as Dasilva has started 4 in total) here are the percentage of opposition attacks down our left:

Bidwell:
38%
44%
27%
44%
Average: 38%


Dasilva:
50%
37%
33%
44%
Average: 41%

So almost identical.

 

[Ian1779]

Looks like 433 the way they’ve listed it there. Let’s see

Looks like we’re flexible enough for both - maybe a mid game change if needed.

 

[fernandopartridge]

I just don't think Da Silva suits the kind of high tempo counter game we'll need to beat these, he wants 5 touches every time the ball is with him and he's not even as quick as Bidwell.

or in vs out of possession. Or a mind game for the oppo or Twitter admin guessed
