If I started somewhere and everyone misspelled my name despite claiming to support me my performances would probably drop off too

Agree Bidwell has been key to our solidity at the back the last 3 games. Equally important were the decisions to drop Wilson and Fadz I think who’ve been quite poor, especially recently. Think Binks has played well whenever he’s been given the opportunity. Same for Lati. If we can have more options in midfield come Jan, that would help. Definitely need more goals from midfield as I’m still not sold on the forwards. Also can anyone deliver set pieces? We are not making any use of our corners and free kicks.

Our corners and free kicks are fucking abysmal, I bet the opposition are pissing themselves

Some good performances recently and Bidwell has dropped off a bit. I'd be starting him in games where we're expecting to be on the front foot.

I thought he did well on the left wing last night. Certainly decent cover in a position we are light in.

Thought DaSilva was very good yesterday. Impressed by him further up the pitch.

He was good, good against Wednesday.

We can be useful against sides where we will see a lot of the ball or sides that will try and play football against us.

He’s very brave on the ball, without being reckless mostly, which can sometimes open up things ahead of him. Shame he’s not just a bit bigger (can’t really do much about that though !)

No doubt the normal whiners will drone on about hate and implied racism but can someone explain why we signed this guy and more importantly on such a long deal when he hardly seemed in demand.

We are stuck with him and he’s a total turkey

for a start he shouldn’t be wearing pink boots and should have plain black.

secondly, he should pull his socks up

Start with the basics before you think you’re any good

Don’t see the need for a four-year deal myself, but it seems to be the policy under DK to give four-year deals at a minimum to every new signing, unless they would turn 30 before the end of the contract.

One of the worse left backs ive seen at the club in over 40 years of watching. Truly dreadful. He cannot defend. He is far too small so gets targeted every match. Doesnt offer anything in terms of consistent high quality crosses. His main attribute seems to be he can make quick small sideways passes in tight spaces. Not really the main requirements of a LB/LWB though.

Yes but we will already have two senior players under contract for this position so not easy.

Unless somebody can stretch Da silva and add some pace then he isn’t going to be good enough.

Not to get all Dabo CDM about it but I think Da Silva needs a position change. He’s a good footballer but too much of a liability defensively to be a LB/LWB.

Think he needs to be a LM who we bring on to see out the game or as a wildcard maybe retrain as a box to box LCM.

More an observation. What actually happens is a different matter.

Yeah, he definitely has some degree of skill and his passing and movement aren't bad.

Trouble is, we bought him in as a defender.

I think he HAS to be played further up the pitch or not at all.

Well, he has got a slightly Argentinian sounding name, so maybe we need to focus on that

Has to be not at all then, although Wright isn't amazing, he's way ahead of Dasilva in that position and we still have EMC to come in. Dasilva really needs to find a new club.

He’s way out of his depth at this level and would be more suited to League One football.

He's played 162 games at Championship level. You'd expect much better to be honest given the time he's spent at this level. Are we using him differently to Bristol City? Don't think the switch to back 4 helped him but needs to be able to adapt.
