Fair enough…sorry I could probably (definitely) have googled that. He looked talented when we had him. Not sure how well he did at Millwall but he’d be decent I reckon.

Did well at Millwall and improved during the season. Seems he’s had a few injuries though.Fair enough…sorry I could probably (definitely) have googled that. He looked talented when we had him. Not sure how well he did at Millwall but he’d be decent I reckon.
He's better than Dasilva.Hes nowhere near good enough for what we want and has never held down a first team spot since signing really. I don’t see the point in continuing with him when his contract is up.
Bidwell is poor and getting worse. The Godden comparison is apt. We need two LBs really.
Bidwell is a no brainer. Experienced and good to have in the squad. Will need a younger up coming talent to compete with him. Should be captain over sheaf as well
Because Bidwell is a much more reliable option than Dasilva - keeping the latter as a backup doesn't make much senseWhy when you can just let Bidwell go?
That last bit is the bit I agree with.Hes nowhere near good enough for what we want and has never held down a first team spot since signing really. I don’t see the point in continuing with him when his contract is up.
We don't. There's several other more crucial priorities that need addressing first before a secondary left back.
I'd say that's pretty much near the bottom of the list.
That last bit is the bit I agree with.
I thought he was very good for us last year but was starting to slow up a bit. You say he hasn’t held down a place but he’s played a fair old bit right?
Bidwell is the contract
It’s certainly not our greatest hour.January 17th - No signings.
A forum descends into madness.
Rumours that King wants a quick sale now circulate.
An elderly Jamie Paterson finally considers a move to his home town club.
Arguments about Elon Musk are spreading like wildfire.
Is this the end of times for SBT?
Really?! That surprises me. He’s surely played more than Dasilva?Fewer minutes than his competitor left back every season he’s been here I believe.
Struggled with the language apparently.Paterson couldn’t get a game in the MLS
Really?! That surprises me. He’s surely played more than Dasilva?
I’m trying to think who else he’d have been up against? McCallum? JWE?
McCallum would have been the player I’d have liked us to sign in the summer.
Sure but now we’ve got to find a buyer for Dasilva or eat his wages. People hope Dasilva will go but I think it’s more likely this means he’s staying.
Why when you can just let Bidwell go?
I think that he’s not been first choice ahead of Maatsen doesn’t reflect badly on him. I’m surprised by the Dasilva stat but I guess we had pretensions of playing wingbacks for a while.No I misread. He played more than JWE
Less than Maatsen, last two slightly less last season than Dasilva 30 mins more this season.
Still not exactly first choice.
I'm not convinced it'll be difficult at all. For all his failings he seems to have many admirers among coaches, including at international level.It'll obviously be difficult to move him on when he'll be on a more than reasonable contract and has consistently struggled since he's arrived at the club.
Some bright spark gave him until summer 2027!It'll obviously be difficult to move him on when he'll be on a more than reasonable contract and has consistently struggled since he's arrived at the club.
I'll be very surprised if he's here beyond next summer though. At worst we'll have to loan him out for the season and shoulder a sizeable portion of his wages.
I'm sure if you look at games we've played 4 at the back he'd be way ahead of Dasilva.No I misread. He played more than JWE

Starting to think people werent born when sisu took over, trips to Northampton and Brum, seeing cov get done over in league 2 with less than 5k in the Ricoh. Get a grip, this reality with DK is much better

He's better than Dasilva.
You'd hope the plan is to shift Dasilva and have Bidwell be the backup.
In a left back role, the aerial stats and clearances matter more imo than the passing and dribbling which is more important in a LWBBidwell being the better player than Dasilva is an interesting narrative
Fewer minutes than his competitor left back every season he’s been here I believe.
22/23 back five risk averse low block, then yes Bidwell's aerial ability and general defensive instincts are what you want. Almost two years removed from that and under a more progressive coach, stylistically he doesn't fit and only regresses as time goes on. Dasilva defensively isn't good but he fits the style more than Bidwell. Either way I'd rather try and recruit two new LBs.In a left back role, the aerial stats and clearances matter more imo than the passing and dribbling which is more important in a LWB

Jay would be fantastic in a back five but the defensive figures leave us too exposed to be worth the attacking ones in a back four.22/23 back five risk averse low block, then yes Bidwell's aerial ability and general defensive instincts are what you want.

oh i agree, no one is perfect, DK certainly has his ego and chrematistics, but imagine having gus/vik money in SISU's pockets.It's clearly much, much better, but that doesn't mean he's above criticism or scrutiny, but some won't have a word against him
I keep saying it, but the fact we had sisu is the very reason we should keep a close watch on King or any subsequent owners.
If he would be fantastic in a back 5 why has he been shit every time he’s played there thenJay would be fantastic in a back five but the defensive figures leave us too exposed to be worth the attacking ones in a back four.
I wouldn’t want to start Bidwell but he’s a safe pair of hands compared and experienced personality at the club.
