Very poor yesterday and struggled for a few weeks now......perhaps needs a break, because having not played at wba for a year hes now playing regularly plus flying round the world for internationals and has a new child! Not an easy time ........but im not sure we have anyone else! Kinell mate, we're asking him to do his job 2 or 3 hours a week. Is that really too much to ask? Send the pony-tailed poser down the pit on 12 hour shifts for a month or two and he'll soon realise how good he has it. He's just had a break when his kid was born. Christ. He's had a trim, Pipes.

Well aware the 'top knot' went about a month ago, thank you gentlemen.
Point still stands though, a player of that age shouldn't be getting tired running about a couple times a week.

we have looked poor down our left side for a while now, most goals we concede are from his lack of positioning, always wrong side of his man, the guy left to much room yesterday, thought he was piss poor, and has been for a while. he was also piss poor at Wolves.............

Have to agree on Davidson. Offers nothing apart from making up numbers and is a must replace come January. Decent at getting forward by very rarely does anything with it! Terrible defender imo. Lacks pace for a supposed athlete. His positional sense is probably the worst I've seen in a pro footballer. What we saw in him I'll never know.

Our best full back is actually a centre half. That tells you everything you need to know about Smith and Davidson.

Another poor signing IMO. Left side has been our weakness for most of the time back in the Championship. Under Powell we have been lopsided which means the left back is very exposed even if quality like Robinson became, James did OK but Davidson is a liability, not a defender at all and doesn't offer very much going forward. We seem to have improved our right back with Cranie.
We are going to have to look again at left back because far too many chances and goals are coming from our left back position. Plus Davidson going to play for Australia can not help the situation.
Would rather give Boyle a run there or one of the other youngsters, anybody who is a natural defender!

It was still there at Ipswich last week, I'm sure, but then the mind can play tricks sometimes, as in believing he's an international quality left back - oh wait!

It was still there at Ipswich last week, I'm sure, but then the mind can play tricks sometimes, as in believing he's an international quality left back - oh wait! It had definitely gone at Ipswich. His form is definitely a concern though - we look desperately vulnerable whenever he is attacked and we can't lay the blame in front of him as Bunn isn't a slouch at getting back to help. I'd give him a little more time but needs to improve significantly at his main job (he isn't bad at getting forward).

I'd give him a little more time but needs to improve significantly at his main job (he isn't bad at getting forward). 1) Ok I accept that. Ipswich was probably one of his better performances when I think about it, perhaps due to not having to live up to the demands of the top knot. 2) Maybe I am a bit harsh, but that left side does look vulnerable. I thought Lynch was more likely to get sent off at Ipswich than anybody, having to cover that LB slot as well. Surprised when Vaughan walked for what he did after Joel's taikwando demonstration on their guy.

How about moving Lynch across to left back and bringing Elliot back into Lynch's position. We'd have a decent size back four then, and always interesting to see Lynch going forward.

it was noticable against Derby how open our left side was. Davidson was more often than not pulled into the middle, while where he should have been was left open for derby players to run into at will.

Cranie stays deep a lot which undoubtedly helps on the defensive side. On the other hand Davidson gets forward and out of position far too much. Is that some sort of plan / tactic to have one deep and one forward?

I honestly don't think he is a left back. He leaves way too much space behind him for the opposing winger to exploit and spends half the game chasing our attack then struggling to get back in position.
If you look at the way Cranie operates you can tell he is defensively minded, whereas, Davidson just reminds me of a defender in a junior side who chases every ball and never has the correct positioning.

I was just wondering if he has been told to play a bit more like a wingback on that side, a bit like we were doing at the back end of last season when we were "kind of 3 at the back".

Even Joe Skarz is a better left back than this lad.

I have to agree Davidson looks a poor signing so far, will Boyle is a centre back though so he can't replace him. Lynch is not a full back I've seen him play there before think it was millwall away and he is a CB.

Move our best centre back by a distance to left back? That would be suicidal. More suicidal than retaining Davidson? I've seen him play left back a couple of time and he was ok, and played there quite a lot at Forrest. Elliot and Hudson would make a decent pairing. I agree it would be tough to take Lynch away from centre half. I was initially impressed with Davidson but he doesn't look to be the answer either defensively or going forward. All I can say positively about him is that he is fit and can get up and down the touchline. We don't have many left back options.
