Having missed only 2 matches it is fair to say that from what I have seen Bunn is probably the worst player on the field.

Davidson's certainly taken the heat off Bunn who had a real shocker too. I actually thought Bunn was the worse of the two. I wasn't sure whether Bunn was an unlucky player or just a bit poor. Now, sadly, I am starting to believe it's the latter

He reminds me of a kid in the playground, kick it and run, no control, no touch. Fortunately for him his Dad is the PE teacher.

Davidson earned his 21st cap today in Australia's 2-0 defeat to the 99th ranked Jordan.
Maybe we were expecting too much of with him being a regular international.

Rankings, schmankings. Remember - England are behind Wales in the FIFA rankings, but I reckon we'd beat them 95 times out of a hundred. I wonder if Blatter, Platini and Valcke decide on the rankings, 'cos they're a bunch of rankers for sure!

After my despair at his performance on Saturday, I was wondering how much of it is due to his bad positioning sense? Maybe Powell can beat that out of him?

England are 12/1 to win the Euros and Poland and Austria are 6 times that and easily our equals.

Positioning, closing down and one on one he's very poor. He's not very good at defending. Weak and lazy, an easy target. He can come onto the ball well and has a good engine. Overall - poor. Not good enough.

I like him but the socceroos website has a report on their 2-0 loss to Jordan last night and it mentions him getting turned inside out by Jordans right winger

I'm disappointed with Davidson, he sometimes seems to get the wrong side of his man. I think Town thought it was going to be a satisfactory 'cheap' option. I would have like to see the lad who went to Wigan, but the board and DH don't like shelling out on players but are prepared to ask unreasonable prices for our players (e.g. Rhodes, Coady and Butterfeld).

Suds if they were "unreasonable" no one would have paid the money .. good business in the face of players demanding out I call it

So what would you consider reasonable prices for Rhodes, Coady and Butterfield? You reckon we should shell out unreasonable prices then?

Not quite championship quality IMO, makes two many silly errors and looks lost going forwards. About as good as you could expect from a free transfer signing who got 1 game for West Brom.

The bookies odds doesn't reflect the likelihood of England winning though, its just indicative of the money put on. Or, another way of looking at it; British people have an unrealistically high expectation of the national team.

I would have like to see the lad who went to Wigan, but the board and DH don't like shelling out on players but are prepared to ask unreasonable prices for our players (e.g. Rhodes, Coady and Butterfeld). You would think Powell would know a decent left back when he sees one! Davidson has good physical attributes. I think (hope) there will be an improvement through the season when he gets more familiar with his team mates. He looks to me at the moment when he is on the pitch that he is thinking - where the f*ck is Lynch behind me, Huws on the side of me, or Bunn/Carayol in front of me. There is a lot of uncertainty down our left flank and its not all entirely due to him! He'd probably help himself defensively if, like Cranie, he just worries about his own defensive position for a while, instead of bombing up the field at the drop of a hat. Its admirable in one way but problematic with regards to his positioning. He does go forward at every opportunity - not selectively. He often seems to get in the way when he goes forward as well. In a lot of ways it might be just best to let Carayol get on with the attacking as he can go both sides of the full back. Talking about going both ways - did anybody see Lolley's little cameo for Scunthorpe in setting up their winner last Saturday. Beat the full back on the outside and laid it back on a plate. Not quite so one dimensional then.

Keep at it Joe, crack on That match at Watford when did well he was going both ways, and picking out his team mates. I had him ahead of Scannell and Hammill to start as our right sided wideman the following season, but he was unlucky with injury. I think he'll come back a better player and ready to challenge Scannell for a starting berth. Scannell looks as though he needs a kick up the pants or arm round the shoulder or whatever it takes to get him going.

I'm on record as saying I didn't think he was a 'right winger' I so want him to prove me wrong, as I've also said I like him. I agree regards Scannell, didn't he lose his father a while back? I seem to remember when he lost form that was given as a reason. Lack of confidence is so obvious, not lack of effort, whatever Powell did when he came in needs repeating.

VERY rarely I agree with Nick. (In fact I never have) but he's right. This guy is woeful. At best league 1. At absolute best.

I'm not writing him off just yet, but he is costing us.
I would like to see us try out a 3-5-2 system if Vaughan is fit. Him and Wells up top, Patterson just behind and Cranie/Ward/Lynch at the back with Whitehead offering protection just infront.
