I can't help but worry about the prospect of Philogene/Jack Clarke up against Bidwell on the 29th...

Wouldn't be opposed to Brau playing

not sure what your point is here, we had no choice with the CBs due to illness

Point is stop writing off squad players before they play

He can do a job Vs Swansea I think. Maybe bring brau on second half

Id rather brau started btw but think perhaps lampard will wanna play it safe from kick off in that particular position.

I reckon he starts against Swansea in a back 5 if Kitch and Thomas are back, if they’re not I reckon Bidwell starts in a back 4

Absolutely zero chance of us starting a back 5 at home to Swansea! Regardless of suspensions and availability, id put my house on the fact we wont start a back 5. If we do, FL needs to give his head a wobble. Bidwell will start in a back 4. Regardless of which CHs are available.

I love how most have written him off as a LB already saying his defence is lacking as he's been caught out defensively. Almost as if Bobby, Kitch, MVE, JDS, Bidwell, and Woolf havent all been caught out defensively numerous times this season. A poor WBA scored 2 against play catching JDS out defensively. MVE has his pace to dig himself out most of the time so its not as glaringly obvious, and a long punt over the top catches Bobby and Kitch out almost every time.

Brau has not played 90 match minutes so second half maybe - Bidwell to start

Absolutely cannot judge Brau on a 10 minute cameo.
KKH and Allen look really good as 60 to 70 minute subs. KKH has not been as good when playing a full match. The Preston fans were surprised how poor he was against them compared with his last season form. Allen sometimes is good for a whole match but is not a regular starter for a reason these days. Check his Wrexham performance.
Brau has really not been given a sub appearance let alone a start. That should raise a big red flag for him as a starter. That said, it depends on how many players are currently ahead of him will be unavailable.
Our recruitment has been exemplary for a season or two, so Brau could work out fine in the long run. Our coaches know what they are doing.

Brau simply looks a yard or two quicker than Bidwell. He starts for me

He will be 24 next weekend, and hes been training with us long enough to be trusted for a home game against Swansea.
He won't be playing against Barcelona, just a poor team in a relegation fight from the second level of English football.
Let's not make out this game is something its not.

I never said I wouldn’t trust him against Swansea My post was about fans writing him off as a failure signing.

I do like the look of Brau, and he seemed to fit into the group dynamic very well. Seems like a good pro, good character, and I think he’ll do us a decent turn at LB/LWB or even further up at a push.

Ok, tbf the lad has time on his side.
Id imagine Bidders will be gone at the end of the season, so a decision will need to be made then on Brau. If we are in the PL next season I think Brau may be moved on and replaced, if we fuck up promotion he will be kept on as second choice LB (Imo)

The Swansea game is a big opportunity for Brau, if hes not given a start then it doesn't look good for him.

I just can't see why we wouldn't start Brau against Swansea , and in a back four .
Our whole focus this season has been playing fast attacking football and playing on the front foot as much as we can . Brau fits our new style of play more than Bidwell for me

I think mostly cos Lampard has had many chances to do it and never has. Brau has only ever come on at LWB and LW IIRC. I think it’ll be Bidders or a back five.

He hasn't had "many" chances to do it due to DaSilvas fine form
I think Lampard , like many of us , would've been impressed with Brau on Saturday .
You can't replicate match situations in training so to see Brau do so well against two very tricky opponents will give Lampard a selection headache or two

Bidwell has made 8 appearances this season in 24 games (1 in 3) and each of them was a chance to bring Brau on instead of

I'd be interested in knowing the circumstances of those 8 ie were we defending something, or chasing a lead.

Fucken 6 when you click on him bloody tranfermarkt.

Wrexham a start. Others vary. Leicester for 20 mins (0-0) Sheff W when we were pissing it. 2 mins against Pompey.

And of course the last game we played where he came on first before we moved to a five at the back.

Pity Haji cocked up his pass to him near the end that would have put him through on goal.

Bidwell played well. A couple of iffy passes, but no where near as bad as what some are making out a solid 7/10.
