You also said for us to get top 6 he would need to be bombed out.

He had a good game yesterday.

You got it wrong with him from the start.

Couldn't believe him popping up with those two chances towards the end, arguably should have done better with the second one.

That first effort would have been some goal!

No I didn’t - generally he’s been poor nowhere near the level we need - funny how you accuse others of targeting you and cry like a baby and then…

Yes you did. He's far better than you give him credit for and I think virtually everyone disagrees with your view of him.

Can you point out where I've accused others of targeting me or where I've cried like a baby?

many posters concur with my view on him - in fact many have been far more vocal than me on his abject performances - still according to you I don’t like him as he’s black. You said that didn’t you?

It’s a shame as this morning the conversations has been broadly sensible and now you are here and trying to cause an argument.

Unfortunately we're unlikely to benefit from his development here. The perennial issue with using loan players, (unless we get him back next season of course).

I don't understand. We have benefitted from many good performances from him not just yesterday.

Bidwell was excellent yesterday, arguably MOTM.

I didn't see this at all. It's weird that the anti BNC and JWE brigade have now decided Bidwell is so good every week. He made a rash tackle early on which he was lucky to get away with, Chang was beating him consistently and was ponderous going forward at times.

How you can think he played better than McFadzean, Doyle or BNC is beyond me. Kelly was amazing too.

I said arguably - he's also played in more or less every game this season for us, so is clearly rated.

True to a point, but there's been a marked improvement lately which in my opinion is down to the coaching he's received here and the minutes we've given him on the pitch.
Someone else is going to get the benefit of that next season, (unless he comes here again).

Obviously not an issue that's exclusive to us but it an be a bit frustrating.
Especially as we seem to be perennially looking to bring in wing backs every close season.

All day Friday and yesterday morning I felt the same assured certainty of a win as I did before the final versus Exeter. Considering that gap in time, it obviously doesn’t happen much.

Can’t we take Josh Dasilva instead?! Joking aside I haven’t seen enough of Jay Dasilva to decide if he’d be a good addition or not

How far you’ve come! Enjoyed the trip yesterday although we were shit. Good luck in the play offs hope you go on to win them. It would be a victory for good management over huge budgets.

The exact problem with young loans from Prem clubs. Most of the time if we want to keep them they are kept or sent to a higher club.

At least we're becoming that higher club and play the way they want their players to learn.

We've done very well out of Doyle, BNC and JWE. Wouldn't be where we are without them.

He is younger though, so either in the team for longer / some resale value.

I do like Bidwell though, and was at his best yesterday.

Ask 100 neutrals to watch yesterday's match I doubt one would say Bidwell was motm. For me it was Fads, but Doyle, BNC, Eccles, Gyokeres or Kelly would be reasonable shouts.
