Yeah I don't think we've seen the last of JDS. If we could assert more control of games and have more territory he'd be a useful option because he's much better on the ball than Bidwell.Don't be writing JDS off, we all know Viveash really rates him, could be like a new signing if he produces what he's capable of.
Hey and you never know JDS could bounce the fuck back and pleasantly surprise us all.Honestly don't mind keeping what we have at LB for now until January at least. Getting a new LB and binning Bids off could backfire severely if the signing doesn't pan out and the only other option being JDS. Better to focus on priority positions, keeping the consistency with Bids, scouting replacements during the season and reassessing Bids in January to determine if a signing must be made then or in the summer.
Bidwell came in to rescue the poor situation we found ourselves in after we discovered how poor JDS was.That’s bollocks Robins has shown plenty of times he has no place for sentiment. And he isn’t our first choice left back, Bidwell is. Bidwell who has been to the play offs with 3 different clubs.
It’s not a must right now like CM or GK etc, but I’d say for the long run improving our LB situation is quite important.Some were shouting at Bidwell POTS last year and now its imperative he must be improved on
I’m with you on this one, he showed glimpses of what he can do last season, if he bounces back and plays to his true ability, it could be like a new signing. Let’s not write him off just yet.Hey and you never know JDS could bounce the fuck back and pleasantly surprise us all.
He has a cult like Fanbase that's why. He was not POTSSome were shouting at Bidwell POTS last year and now its imperative he must be improved on
Apart from goalkeeper what area needs strengthening over Bidwell?If we signed a new LB then we would still be only one injury away from JDS?? He has 3 years remaining on his contract so he is going to nowhere for this season at least.
Bidwell was a very good player for us last year and whilst I agree we could always upgrade , we don’t have unlimited funds and there are other areas that need strengthening first over Jake Bidwell.

Burrows would be second fiddle. McCallum would be a substantial upgrade.The calibre of player I'd want us to target for that position (Burrows, McCallum etc.) would not sign to play second fiddle to Bidwell.
Dasilva is fine when the opposition are in defence mode, he's a fairly tidy footballer... the problem comes when he has to defend.JD, Binks, Torp and even Tavares showed what they're capable of in the cup semi
All 4 came on and improved us, with the signings we have already made added to the aforementioned all improving things aren't as bleak as some would have you believe
As I say they aren't appeasing him at all
He has a young family and over the past 18 months it's been clear for all to see MR has been trying to replace him, and fair enough. Bidders asked the question of are there plans to move me on in the near future so I can plan accordingly. He's been told no there aren't.
I really don't see what's wrong with that or am I being thick here?

Exactly this I'd say.GK, CM, ST, CB, RB, LB in that order for me.
You think Bidwell is better than van Ewijk, Torp, Eccles, Kitching, Simms? Just wow!GK, CM, ST, CB, RB, LB in that order for me.
He's obviously talking about depth ffs.You think Bidwell is better than van Ewijk, Torp, Eccles, Kitching, Simms? Just wow!
I know someone on the Euros thread said he should be playing for England but this cult is getting weird.
I'd be happy if that was all our business.Where we at with the rumour mill now then, can't keep up. is it..
Browne
Asante-Thomas
Dovin
Camara
We wouldn't need much after that would we? I bet Deadly Doug can secure all 4 for around a combined (bargain) £6 million too.
Thinking about it i probably would too. We probably could do with another CB imo but i may have to accept that Lati is that man. Can't win them all...I'd be happy if that was all our business.
Or deliver sweet crosses!what's with this myth that Bidders doesn't get forward
Wasn’t it the season before he signed for us, he was the leading assist man in the division for the Swans when they finished in the play offs?Or deliver sweet crosses!
Real shame that, I find it odd that the management are trying to appease Bidwell at the cost of strengthening the team. The guy’s going to be worth very little in a season or two’s time, no one’s going to want a slow 32 year old LB, we’re also one injury away from playing JDS (*shudder) and it would have been such an ideal opportunity to get someone used to the team whilst Bidwell is still here to perform his main duties.
I don’t know why they didn’t just say to him that we’re looking for a younger LB this window but you will be our no. 1 LB for this season rather being all like “ooh oh no, please don’t go Bidwell, we love you, we’ll do anything you say Bidwell, don’t leave us”
You think Bidwell is better than van Ewijk, Torp, Eccles, Kitching, Simms? Just wow!

God you are clueless, Bidwell has in all of his time here been a consistent solid player. He's not being appeased it's just that with a limited budget and two LBs on the books already, it makes sense to prioritise other areas.
Maybe we could get him some built up boots and increase his height by 6 inches, then he’d be more imposingYeah I don't think we've seen the last of JDS. If we could assert more control of games and have more territory he'd be a useful option because he's much better on the ball than Bidwell.
First I believe the quality of your best player in each position is very important as they will play most matches barring injury.Those areas need strengthening because we’ve got no depth. First team I’d say GK and CM are more of a priority. But no backup for Simms or MvE and no experience at the back are bigger concerns IMO.
