Excellent. Got you trawling back through old threads again. Now that is silly. Keep on with the selective memory re Dasilva. For the record I haven’t said he was poor. Just that he had nothing to do.

If as you say they got in behind him 6 or 7 times then surely in your view he had a lot to do? So which is it?Excellent. Got you trawling back through old threads again. Now that is silly.

He hasn’t got a clue what he’s talking about. Just verbal DiarrhoeaNothing to do?
Do yourself a favour and at least watch the highlights. He was constantly so good that he should be on them somewhere. One of the reasons they were so shite going forwards was they just couldn't get past JDS. He did a couple of tackles that were so good that you would have been singing your praises for them if they were from another defender. Also his running with the ball was very good.
Why don't you like JDS?
Don’t know him to like him or not. Playing wise he’s a poor defender. I don’t think that’s in disputeNothing to do?

Very surprised to see this comment. He's been excellent this season in all aspects, motm for me yesterdayDon’t know him to like him or not. Playing wise he’s a poor defender. I don’t think that’s in dispute
There's not much of a dispute. You're the only one left who thinks he is poor.Don’t know him to like him or not. Playing wise he’s a poor defender. I don’t think that’s in dispute
The point about Da Silva is, does anybody really in their heart of hearts think he's a Championship top 6 defender and the thought of him in the Prem is just hilarious.There's not much of a dispute. You're the only one left who thinks he is poor.
Is this you using a lot of words to try and say JDS is a poor LB? Under Lampard JDS, like several other players, has improved a lot. Top 6? He plays for a top 6 club. We've now played 7 league games. How many better LB's have we seen so far?The point about Da Silva is, does anybody really in their heart of hearts think he's a Championship top 6 defender and the thought of him in the Prem is just hilarious.
He has always had fantastic close control with the ball , and this catches the eye of the spectators. But he is not even a top half of the division defender. When the ball goes out to the opponent's right, I always hold my breath. He always gives the attackers far too much space and his lack of physical size means he just can't close them down.
He'd be good as a wing back in a three at the back, but one of a back four, nah. I had hoped Brau was a replacement, but I am not sure what he is - Da Silva replacement or EMC cover.
No amount of dandy dan footwork can cover for JDS's defensive shortcomings. We need better.
As I said elsewhere, every other position on the pitch has had seven figure sums invested there in terms of transfer fees. It’s a testament to Dasilva that LB doesn’t look like a huge weak spot at the moment given how cheaply we’ve assembled our options there. He looks head and shoulders above the alternatives in the squad too (not literally obviously).He'd be good as a wing back in a three at the back, but one of a back four, nah.

Lampard sees a good player in him. I trust his judgment over yours.
Premier league player? Who said that? We would need nearly a full new team if we were to compete. It doesn't mean we don't have one of if not the best team in the Championship though.
Only if you are a fool. He had a hatd time but he stuck at it and was up against one of the best players in this league.I was on a break but is the consensus here Dasilva had a bad game against Leicester??
He did, however was against one of the best wingers in the league, who gave him a torrid time.I was on a break but is the consensus here Dasilva had a bad game against Leicester??
You're assessing as he's our player and you have seen him play a lot and know that he's playing well, and you know he tried hard.Only if you are a fool. He had a hatd time but he stuck at it and was up against one of the best players in this league.
Leicester can think what they like. They didn't score and our behind us in the league. Fatawu beat him twice and that was it, bta and grimes had him covered most of the time, if we're holding that against him after the other brilliant 6 games I really don't know what we expect from our players these daysYou're assessing as he's our player and you have seen him play a lot and know that he's playing well, and you know he tried hard.
My point is, if you are a Leicester fan and that's the only time you've watched him. You will think that Fatawa will have had him on toast and he didn't cope at all. We assess other teams players based on 1 game maybe 2 if you go away or manage to catch it on TV. We don't see them week in week out.
He did, however was against one of the best wingers in the league, who gave him a torrid time.
Agreed. He got beaten on the halfway line twice by their winger, but then stuck to his task.I think that’s harsh, I thought he had played well against as you say one of the best in the division.

Even I thought he was ok against Leicester & I thought he was excellent against Birmingham. He didn't let Roberts get past him once by being better positioned & tackled him a couple of times, he also beat Stansfield & MVE to a long ball to play it back to Rushworth.I think that’s harsh, I thought he had played well against as you say one of the best in the division.
I dispute it. He's been excellent this season so far and at the end of last season. I'd have JDS as a starter over Bidwell every single time.Don’t know him to like him or not. Playing wise he’s a poor defender. I don’t think that’s in dispute
Totally agree. Haji was a beast all game. Ellis was fighting for that long ball from Rushworth that led to the third goal.JDS had the grit between his teeth on Saturday. Was an aggressive, top notch performance. The players fight for everything now, proper aggression to our play. It's made a world of difference.
I'm enjoying seeing players some had written off, playing the best football of their career under Frank.Got done and took his yellow which I won’t hold against him, was the right thing to do even if it meant he couldn’t stay on the whole game. Other than that can only remember one, which isn’t bad at all away against one of the best he’ll face. I think he’s has an outstanding start to the season tbh.
BTA not doing too shabby eitherI'm enjoying seeing players some had written off, playing the best football of their career under Frank.
Dasilva and Kitching in particular, and soon to be joined by Eccles I am sure.
Even Simms,or is that a stretch,not for me no!I'm enjoying seeing players some had written off, playing the best football of their career under Frank.
