Who replaces him??

Does it mean a back 5 has to continue?

Sounds like a minor issue so hopefully not out for long unless I’ve misread the press conference. Could put Binks there but feel a back three with Jay is probably better (unless we use Burroughs?)

Would be a real problem to lose him now, we need to revert to a back four when EMC and Wright return.

Burroughs LB cant be any worse than Dasilva also means he wont get aerially targeted as he’s not small, and he’s probably quicker than Dasilva. Physically would be better, not sure about whether it would work our better in reality though

I know it's a minor injury and he's just signed a new contract extension but, for me, Bidwell should be a player that comes on every now and then, not a regular starter.

Two massive, glaring written in 30ft high flashing neon errors over the last 18 months have been not getting cover for Milan and not getting a quality left back.

I remember in the summer Darragh Anthony saying he was surprised Coventry hadn't come in for Harrison Burrows. What a difference he, or any quality left back, would make to our squad.

Neither Bidwell or JDS are good enough.

Get a new contract then get “injured”. Lazy.

Binks is great on the ball, his main issues at CB are positioning and decision making imo. Move him to left back/wing back and that becomes less of a problem. And he's not vertically challenged like Dasilva.

Why's it so outrageous? Robins played Kitching there and he's much less suitable

One of his most bizarre decisions. We were 2-0 at HT.

3 at the back, Kitch, Thomas, MVE. Wide Rudi and Tats, with Grimes and Allen in CM. Torp in behind BTA and Simms. 3-5-2

Won't happen but I would.

Might be fun to watch at times, but I don't see that making our leaky defence any more solid

Too late!

Did Robins know how this season was going to pan out when sanctioning signings?

@Chicken Mcgraw I was only asking. We did get left in a tricky position players (deck) wise and points wise.

Sign the divisions best midfielder so you want to play him out of position?

I'm taller than JDS. I am also significantly older than him as well.

Which one is my left foot?

I don't know, its the ultimate dismissive reaction with no suggestion that there has been any thought to it.

I have used it myself but I will always considered all available actions before I do so.

Robins and crew really buggered up the left back slot let’s be honest. I’m a fan of bidwell but we’ve desperately needed an MVE equivalent on that side for years and now we’re lumbered with da silva on a long contract who hasn’t been up to it all
