Not seen anyone mention this so thought I'd bring it up.

At the end of the Rotherham game, Sky TV picked up on Robins taking Giles to one side after the game and had what seemed to be a healthy chat with the lad. Giles smiled at the end and both clapped each others elbow. Looks like a very positive conversation. Wonder what was said and.....

Would you have him back next season ? Either loan or bought ?

Can't see him coming back here after two loan spells that didn't work out. Good to see him and Robins are seemingly on good terms though.

He mentioned Giles in the post match interview and alluded to that he ‘wasn’t best pleased’ that he went to Rotherham after being recalled. Was a good attacking outlet in the early stages of the season, not so great defensively. Surprised Wolves have rewarded him with a 5 year deal given that he hasn’t really proven himself at Championship level (yet).

It's significant that DaCosta looked better once he came on...

I think he does maybe have 'something', but he hasn't found it yet, so you're taking a hell of a gamble to bring him in that he does discover that 'something' with you.

We still leak goals. Its become an urban myth that we were only leaking goals when he played.

Because they continually rotate. Take Lapado, started and scored 2 against QPR in the previous game, then was on the bench against us.

Whist he was here:
We conceded 30 in 22 games 1.32 goals against per game

Since leaving:
We have conceded 25 in 18 games 1.39 goals against per game.

All I'm saying is, ita become an urban myth that we conceded loads in the team with him in, and that he was the reason, and we have been better since, which isn't true.

He's normally second choice anyway.

One of our best games this season was Norwich away with Dabo and Giles causing serious problems on both sides of the pitch and taking the attack to the opposition.
I was disappointed to see Giles leave and would have liked to have seen him play more for us - he's got something.
Singling out Giles for the team conceding multiple goals at a particular point in the season- seems very harsh!
As with most things on SBT; someone decided even before he played for us that he was a poor defender - didn't see it myself when he did play.

Ladapo was carrying a knock. A player that has always impressed me to be honest and might be worth a look. Think people got far too carried away with Giles. Appreciate its about opinions. I think he needs another season in league one though.

I'm only judging him on what I did see. I think he was very poor in the tackle and defensively his positioning was shite. Plus Sam Mac gives you good aerial ability. That is more his particular strength though rather than me knocking Giles.

That's fair, I'm a big fan of Sam's - it's amazing he was in non league just a couple of seasons ago - his progress has been sensational and not discussed enough on here.
I do think that Giles offered something different though - bringing Giles on in the last 30 minutes to run at defenders worked for me.

Think he needs a full season starting in league one. He just didn't fit the systems we played to do that last 30 job. Probably more of an orthodaox winger. Not many teams playing with them these days.

Totally agree about Sam.Progress has been phenomenal. Obviously one that was misjudged as a youngster.

I love that robins maintains relationships where we think it should be black and white and relationships burned. Maybe he’s still learning his trade and will be able to continue to progress the club
