I'm not onboard with the Dasilva hate. I certainly don't think he's the best player we will ever have and I do think any improvement may be limited but I'd suggest he's decent enough just like an Eccles.

I doubt anyone actually hates him but Bidwell shouldn't have been dropped for him at the start of the season and a 2 year deal would have been enough.

I'm not sure, he certainly seems to be the next boo boy! Robins is looking to use the squad a bit more this year so Bidwell is going to have to get used to being rested a bit as are most of the team. Dasilva would also find another team unlike some of the dross we have had in previous years!

Bidwell wasn't rested at the start of the season, he was dropped. There are a number of players well ahead of him in the boo boy charts at the moment.

Misread the start of the season bit. No idea why he was dropped unless he came back not as fit as Dasilva or with a knock I don't think he can be blamed though for Robins choice.

No-one hates Dasilva. He’s not a boo boy. But it’s perfectly ok to say what you see - he has issues defensively and he’s not as good as Bidwell. He’s a championship squad player - that’s fine.

How on earth can you say Collins had a poor performance today? He absolutely kept us in the game in the first half.

Unless you are premier league (and can afford multi million pound gambles), if you buy a player for millions, you need to have evidence he can play at the level. We could have paid much less if we wanted to develop players. So hope to be proven wrong but on the evidence so far, some weird signings who are not upgrades on last season.

Would happily drive most of the shit we’ve signed back to their former clubs, with the only exceptions perhaps being Sakamoto and Latibeaudiere who haven’t done much wrong and Binks. The rest of them can all fuck off.

Bidwell has been fantastic of late but I’m not going to write off Jay Dasilva just yet, I back the management working in the background to build on his defensive limitations.

I actually think he’s the best in the squad when it comes to ball retention and has some fantastic close control in tight spaces. If we eventually evolve further and become a team that dominates possession like Robins envisioned at the beginning of the season we might see him back in.

This thread should be deleted. Recruitment has been fantastic, especially when you consider how poor other clubs recruitment has been in the Championship in the face of the flight from the Premier League to big money clubs in China, USA and Middle East. We were forced to raid League One and came up with the Kitchen Sink, #bargain; we knicked Haji Wright from Turkey, he took a quarter of a season to get up and running but now he's firing we can all see the quality #goodbit'obusiness; Sakamoto #'nuffsaid.

We haven’t. But you do have to bear in mind that we’re fishing in a different pool. You’ve still got to get it right but when you can pay a few million it does make things easier.

Just morons who believe poor results means poor recruitment. I remember Grendel pulling me up on saying recruitment had been good

Think everyone else can agree it's been great recruitment and long may it continue!

Although this is an old post I’m referencing why do people use words like hate? He’s just a bad signing and offering a 4 year deal madness

The essence of this thread is to give the coaching team time to work with the signings. Snap judgements are bollocks. JDS is the one I would question but surely nobody gets everything correct 100% of the time

We have the coaching staff to do it.

I think it's more poor form than not having the tools though. He did well when came on as a sub post Preston I think already anyway

There sued to be people who thought Palmer was crap. It's important not to get too down on players as then people get proven wrong publically.
