Could Giles play in the Allen slot as an out-and-out winger? I love Giles's pace and it then allows Sam Mac to bolster the defence. Given how frequently we were advised last week just how poor Barnsley are in attack - which they then confirmed in reality - not too much should be read into the clean sheet at Oakwell.
I also thought people were saying Kelly would be fit or very close to being so, and so warrant at least a place on the bench.
Because Giles has quality, wheras the alternatives are journeymen at this level. He's played there before, he's a professional footballer, so should be adaptable, and it is only a minor tweak. It's not as if I'm suggesting putting Godden in goal or anything, just asking Giles to concentrate on the thing so far that he has done best - get crosses in. And at the same time bolster the defence. Might not work, but hey.Why are we trying to find ways to shoehorn in players out of position when we have standbys who naturally play in that position available?
Why would we play Giles as a winger on the left but not have a winger on the right? Totally lopsides the team if you have LB/LW but a RWB
Get what people are saying about McCallum being better defensively but in games like this I'd say that Giles' pace gives us something no-one else really does on the counter.

So your points system says it should be a comfortable win for Bournemouth?

Pop down to the Craven club i will be there at half seven it’s like Highfield Rd you sit down beer comes and the feckers who smoke go outside the rear under cover door and all the smoke comes back in onto you so when you go home before 10 your mrs says where the fook have you been smelling of smoke and covered in makeup and lip stick. Oh Christ forgot to mention I may have popped to a boozer earlier!

Otherwise you have to ask why we have two loan players in the same position. Loans are usually among the most skillfull players in the team, and least likely to be dropped, but we have two left wing backs. It only makes sense if Norwich are paying Sam's wages or Giles can play forward. Otherwise it risks being a waste of a loan - the MCCallum thing has always looked an impromptu decision, brought about because they came knocking, but who knows.
