Mccallum is much better defensively, including defending corners. We need two players for the wing back positions as they're so important to the way we play. Horses for courses on who plays I suspect

I completely agree, it just seems weird to have 2 loans in the same position. You would assume the parent clubs want some assurances regarding game time.

Gobsmacked. Says as much about Norwich as it does about sam.

Not sure they got what they wanted. He’s much better in the air than Giles but Giles is faster and has improved passing and crossing. As others have said it’s about having a squad. Feel sorry for mason

Mason was good last season until we changed the system from a flat 4 into the wing back system we currently use

It is what it is

Agree in both games so far we have been most exposed down the left. Also I think this one signing will allow Mark Robins to replace 2 players. Mason and maybe covet for the injuries to Jobello/Jones as Giles gives us an option at left wing.

We still need Walsh or similar and an attacking midfielder to put pressure on or better Allen.

Jobello played on the right, as did Jones apart from years ago when he first signed.

Are you able to read and comprehend words as they are written? I said Walsh OR SIMILAR. I am not obsessed with Walsh so not sure why you would have that impression??

It is an odd move, we've used loans on the same position, but more odd that Norwich have allowed him back here. Usually clubs would look at sending him elsewhere, but hey ho. We know he's decent. Plus it's a long old season.

Agree 100% I was not meaning direct replacements. Especially for Jobello who was very much a right sided player. Jones much less so.

Well this is great for depth but Giles has been outstanding on the left. Giles has the most crosses in the Championship to date. I can only think Giles will be pushed up on the left in place of Allen.
Click to expand...
Illogical. So the best crosser and a very one footed one at the club will be moved centrally.

Norwich have sent a player back to a club he’s familiar with to get game time which he provost won’t get just yet at their club in a league their currently at doesn’t make sense sending him back to league 1 he’s above that.

makes sense for Norwich & us

Doesn’t make sense for us if we have to guarantee him game time.

Sorry to see Mason go (if that actually happens), thought he was one of our best players ten games or so into last season.
Click to expand...
Agreed, he did play well early last season when we were playing 4 at the back. The minute we switched to wing-backs (half-time at home to Fleetwood?) his days were numbered, he cannot play that role anywhere near the level required. No criticism of him, it’s just the way it is. Robins now has two good players perfectly suited to the way he wants to play.

Except there's no guarantee he'll get the game time with the start Giles has made, hence the surprise from most people.

Norwich only have one left back - their fans don’t think it makes any sense

Based on what? Sam is very, very left footed, and I don’t think he ever played there. Sterling did it against Sunderland once, maybe thinking of that? Happy to be corrected if I’m mistaken.

I am so confused by this theory, so you want to play a lwb as a cam instead of a player who excels in the cam role.... Allen doesn't do the spectacular but we would be a much poorer team without him in it, it's no coincidence that our great form last season coincided with his return to the team

Having Giles as an option at AM doesn't seem all that stupid to me, he looks very comfortable driving at players and hes rapid so is the obvious outlet if our backs are against the wall, didn't Shrewsbury move him there once they realised he can't defend?

Giles has the lwb spot and it's down to sam to get if off him.

So what about Giles ??

So that means we have to LWB both with guarantees to play ?
