Playing Giles at LW wouldn't be playing him out of position, it's his natural position and is being re-coached as a LWB.
He did, once v Gillingham but literally as a stop gap & looked uncomfortable.
Suggesting we have one eye on him potentially covering RWB is like suggesting we sign Stephen Hughes as goalkeeper cover.
The only logical solution anybody has actually offered.How awesome would be it be if we had Tues sat 4 weeks in a row and files and mcallum each got 4 games vs tired defenders? Squad game!
Giles for Allen ? Wtf is up with you lot
Seems unlikely. £40m player covered by lad with handful of games at level below.Could Giles be recalled by Wolves due to Jota going to Liverpool??
Mccallum is excellent cover for Giles, cracking bit of business
Our change things up option is currently two up top. If we’re looking for wingers as a change option then we need to find a right winger too. It would also mean going 4 at the back which takes Dabo’s game away, means we lose one of the 3 at the back which Fadz for one never looked comfortable in and he’s the only leader we’ve got there and completely negates the whole point of having two LWBs that don’t look completely comfortable at LB.
we won't play fucking Giles in attacking midfield... Fuck me, its like when people wanted Haynes on the wing
Jones was lined up to play there after 2 years of reevaluating what he can do, going through the training with him and teaching him how to play the position. Giles would just be chucked in there and he's on loan at us specifically as his parent club want him to play LWB.Why won't we?
He's as much an attacking midfielder as Jones is and he was lined up to play there.
I'd be very surprised if we don't see Giles there at some point. Not necessarily as a starter or first choice, but he will get some game time there.

People seem to have it in their heads that Giles is a flat out left back.Why won't we?

And its not like wanting Haynes on the wing as he only ever played LB, Giles has played most of his life as a left winger.
Why can't Giles play in the same position that Shipley played for a lot of last season, in a more advanced position on the left. Probably the same position that Hilssner is pencilled in for. The formation stays the same as 3/4/3 and the forward 3 will be Godden with O'Hare and Giles behind. He'd offer more of an attacking threat than AllenWe won't change system, and we won't play fucking Giles in attacking midfield... Fuck me, its like when people wanted Haynes on the wing
Based on what evidence would he offer more in attacking midfield, than an attacking midfielder we already have... It's not the same position and is played completely differentlyWhy can't Giles play in the same position that Shipley played for a lot of last season, in a more advanced position on the left.

We won't change our tried and tested system that the whole club trains around, to accommodate a player out of position..
Maybe if we switch late on whilst changing a game, but there is no evidence to show that Giles has the grain to play attacking midfield just because he can run up and down a wing... We have players like bapaga to come in and play the role and develop
I'm not saying change the system. I'm saying I expect to see Giles play in that AM slot now.
Not necessarily as a starter but maybe as an impact sub. It's definitely the weakest area of the squad with Jones and Bapaga injured.
We didn't have anyone to bring on in that position on Friday.
You couldn't put Dabo there for example, he's a defender/wing back, but Giles has played the vast majority of his life as a winger.
Our structure isn't that rigid. Look at O'Hare, he often drifts onto the wing and plays like an inside forward.The alternative for an winger is usually to be converted into an inside forward in a front 3... Not a number 10

But that's exactly what we've done with Shipley and Jones.
Well he'll bring a lot more pace than Allen and can cross a ball. If you're a left winger, as Giles has been then all you need to do is play more central. Hillsner said in his interview that he has been a winger but will be required to play more centralBased on what evidence would he offer more in attacking midfield, than an attacking midfielder we already have...

But Allen and o hare are both good enough for the role, and we have bapaga too
Bapaga is also a winger too. If he can play there why can’t Giles?But Allen and o hare are both good enough for the role, and we have bapaga too... What reason would Robins play Giles there unless we had a massive injury crisis

Yeah but look how dangerous we were on the counter attack in the second half on Friday, Giles coming on for the last 20 in place of Allen could be lethal
Bapaga is also a winger too. If he can play there why can’t Giles?
Exactly!
So that's Jones, Shipley and Bapaga who used to be wingers that can apparently play there.
But Giles, although naturally a winger, is apparently totally unsuitable because he now plays wing back?
I'm more comfortable playing players in their preferred roles, where they offer the most.. Are You assuming Giles will be a better attacking central midfielder than Allen?
