The myth seems to be that Dasilva is pulling trees up going forward - he’s not - he just receives the ball and returns it. An odd signing for me.
Pound for pound ? Did either cost a fee If so how much ?
How can you class that it’s an extra £8m you banana!

Because players don't play for free?!
Both Simms and Wright are on 4 year contacts on roughly 20 grand a week. Do the maths. You orange.
It brings back memories of when David Pipe appeared for wales when playing for us
His brother played for Wales at youth level

Chelsea: What happened to the three young brothers signed from Luton Town in 2012
They're all still playing football - but one of them has had a far more successful career than his brothers 👏

I think the Dasilva / Bidwell debate is over. JDS is okay but he’s not in the same street as Bidwell.
He’s ok as a squad player. To be honest the initial selection of him over Bidwell is the worst mistake Robins has made in 4-5 years. He hasn’t made that many mind.
I thought JDS started off well but lost confidence. Bidwell should definitely have come on for him sooner
Robins has made many large mistakes this season that many fans have been pointing out before he reacted.
He shouldn’t have lost his place to start with.
Yeah. It's fair to say Robins has been trying to replace him since just about his arrival here(!) but never manages it yet. Would be very surprised if he signs a new contract tbh.
Tbf when Bidwell was coming off the bench earlier in the season he was pretty awful. Keeps his place now though, especially in a back 4.

JDS was a Adi type signing.
Any stat chaps know if last game was the first time we didn’t field any ex Chelsea youth (outfield?) players?

No, the Stoke game and plenty of times last season too as Dabo and Panzo didn’t play much in the second half of the season.
Definitely the right decision to bring Bidwell back in, his performances have been good and deserves the starting spot. The heat is off DaSilva for now, might do him good. He can get his head down and working on pushing Bidwell to get back into the side. Which can only be good for us.
30 year old no nonsense Championship left back being called “Bidders”. Adjudication panel needed!
Yeah, I think DaSilva is a good player, comfortable on the ball although needs to work on his crossing (like most of the team !). Like others the constant changing of the team and back line in particular, probably didn’t help him defensively.
If Bidwell continues current form the LB place should be his though and with four at the back, which seems to suit his game better, would be worth a new deal
Yeah it’s an interesting one - he’s seemingly nailed as 1st choice now so wonder if he’ll stick around until end of the season
Think he’s got one hell of a task on his hands to win his place back! Bidwell has been superb last two matches
It's great to have two options at LB surerly? Focus on positives people.
