And play a cb at lwb and a lwb at cb?Would it not be worth swapping bidwell and doyle?...the latter younger..more energetic get up the line..bidwell stronger able to handle himself more central?...just a thought??..
Have you seen Doyle? He has about as much pace as McFadzean. Would be useless at WB.Would it not be worth swapping bidwell and doyle?...the latter younger..more energetic get up the line..bidwell stronger able to handle himself more central?...just a thought??..
And what,came from that..Did it twice in the second d half last night, left the defender on his arse on one occasion.
And what,came from that..

Issue with Bidwell is not his ability to play or defend its he is not athletic enough to play wing back. He tends to sit deep which gives us no out ball and forces the ball sideways or backwards. For the system we play to work well the 2 wide players have to bomb on and play in the opposition half a high percentage of the game. We dont do that we sit and find it hard to get the ball forward, with COH out the side its magnified even more as the link is not there.
If i was MR id drop Mcfazden, bring Bidwell into a back 3 and give Burroughs a go at LWB. We need the out ball, we need legs in wide areas. But we know MR he is stubborn at times so id expect nothing to change and Mcfazden to keep getting bullied and Bidwell to keep being solid without being effective in a position the team need production in fwd areas.
It's very similar, the fans always need someone they can hate on but bizarrely it's not even usually a bad player. They get targeted by a couple of idiots, the sheep mentality builds on social media and the poor fucker is done for. All while players that are actually playing shite continue to get praise.This is like Sheaf when he first arrived. Have I missed it or was he caught smiling at the wrong time? I think he has been our best player so far this season and was fine last season after a slow start. He does get forward and has defended better than anyone else so far. Seems strange target for criticism, as I say very similar to Sheaf.

Biden can defend which is all I care about
Nothing changesDabo beat his oposing number several times last night, just lacked quality when playing the ball in.
did you watch the game? genuine question as that is not what happened last nightits not Bidwells Fault, but he is not a LWB, he is a LB, he can defend very well as a LB, but if we intend on using Wing Backs then their is an expectation for him to beat a man and get up and down the channel, this goes for Dabo on the other side too. , we make it to easy for teams playing with them as full backs making it a flat back 5.
He does a job, solid enough and i don't think he lets us down. But i just think he is limited in certain areas. You can make stats to be what you want them to be like possession, shots on target, complete passes all day long. But if stats are the be all and end all we win last night, we didnt.
I dont mind Bidwell, i just see hom as a solid performer and if you have a CD whos legs are gone and is getting run around every game maybe you can put solid reliable defender in that position. And let a natural LWB at LWB.
Also its an opinion i know as much as the next man, its an opinion on what i see and what we have available. Becaus if the ref had eyes last night we sould be talking about Fadz costing us again today
How to say nothing accurate but in lots of words, genuinely don't know what you are talking about
He's a bit too old for Soccer.
One thing about that Fadz handball, is that it was a total fluke that it hot him there. He was making a fully committed dive to defend a potential threat. The earlier goal - yes, at fault. The 'handball' would have been unfortunate.
Yeah people said that about Kane but he still got more assists than dabos city career.its not Bidwells Fault, but he is not a LWB, he is a LB, he can defend very well as a LB, but if we intend on using Wing Backs then their is an expectation for him to beat a man and get up and down the channel, this goes for Dabo on the other side too. , we make it to easy for teams playing with them as full backs making it a flat back 5.

And he plays just like a LWB too!He has excellent stats as a LWB
In the last 48 games for us and Swansea he has scored 2 both for Swansea and in those games has 2 assists 1 for each club. That's is his last 48 games played. Now as a 27 year old he played 42 games 1 goal 8 assists for Swansea in one season.
So if we want to use stats and say they matter and are all important, then last 48 games mean something. In my opinion, what he did at 27 for another club means as much as a fart in a hurricane to today. I think he is limited in this position, not a bad player but an older player who doesn't do what he did.
