Almost like they’re not attackers and not defenders but some third thing in the middle

We couldn’t get the final pass right because by the time we got around to making it our strikers had given up guessing when it’s going in and their defenders were well set.

Not always. Some crosses were cut out easily have to remember when we were in very dangerous positions

He was on for a few minutes after injury.

He didn't cost us 2 goals

He’s a wingback. Defending is certainly as important as anything else in that position.

Calm down Nick. Bidwell playing badly doesn’t mean you can’t also slate Dasilva

I’m convinced Shmeee has had a bang on the head recently. To say a LWB’s job is not primarily to defend is mental

Bidwell looked like he hadn’t been warming up. Was that the case?

It's not really relevant. He gets targeted for a reason.
I think he avery good player technically so I don't like been harsh on him.
Though their second was just down to him pissing about

Good performance. Unlucky, but Dasilva culpable for both goals.
Only criticism from me thought Simms should have come on instead of Asante in the first batch of subs.

BTA did much more when he came on than Simms though

They're not wide midfielders though. When the opposition break they have to drop back. That almost certainly is his job....

They’re defensive midfielders. They play level with the DM pivot in a 3421

I’ve had this argument before but three at the back and five at the back aren’t the same thing and full backs and wingbacks aren’t the same thing.

We were working the ball wide and think we would have benefitted from his aerial presence

Guessing we were done with subs and there was probably no plan for Bidwell to get any minutes today, but then obviously Dasilva went down.

Those two are chalk and cheese really. Dasilva is poor defensively but infinitely better on the ball than Bidwell. Horses for courses really so I guess they'll share the shirt for the season (or until January at least ).

Rhys Carr has done a decent job managing the club to be fair. Tough 2 games in charge and the players have shown more fight these last 2 games. Maybe deserves to be kept on by Lampard if that’s who takes over. Time to get behind the new boss. Think Dovin deserves a recall as I’m still not entirely convinced by Collins whose reading of the passage of play/flight of the ball can be suspect.

I think LB/LWB has to be high priority in Jan.
