Yeah bet there begging for him to come back. Especially after today's performance. He's been awful his last few games 

Well it’s either they want him back or we don’t want him. There are times this seasons where he’s been superb. He’s more than okay to be used as backup

Wonder if its a bit more worrying than just bringing a player in. Seem v flat right now don't we

Think you have nailed it, the players don't seem to be enjoying it anymore. It seems like they are following instructions to the Nth degree and as a consequence affecting their individual and collective belief and self confidence.

For all the people saying ‘can’t guarantee Giles will do xyz’ honestly what other option do we have? We need a change desperately and we know what he can do and if he delivers that kind of performance again then we will get that change we need. 
 

If Barry costing £10m is true then it will never happen but how about we bring in Giles and Barry for the left and move McGree over to play on the right and cover the gap Jones left as he did when we brought Ramsey in. 
 

Granted it’s an expensive gamble that could ruin next season if it fails but it’s all I can think of 😂

I do think that Bulgarian midfielder story will be true though, I seen he’s apparently a forward but watching his highlights he seemed to be more in the Hackney mould. Definately didn’t look like a wide forward/winger type.

Or it's just that he's going nowhere which is probably the most likely considering the situation.

There's no guarantee he finds close to the form he was in before thought. Hanging a lot on him being the player he was with Ramsey Archer and Akpom. Im not that convinced he solves big problems right now 

He could be a quarter of that player and it's still a threat we don't currently have

Is that not the job of the recruitment team to find an option like Giles who is more solid defensively

Still hearing Edmundson is going. 

Wouldn't be bothered at all

Yes but players who can do that are most likely already playing at the top level as it’s basically the perfect left back 😂 The reason Giles is attainable is because he’s not perfect, but when he was here his attacking threat more than made up for any short falls.

Maybe but the point was in reference to the poster who said he may be leaving. I would keep him here and potentially sign him permanently depending on what league we are in 

The comments regarding Edmunson seem bizarre. Why would we play him in a cup game, cup-tie him, and then send him back?

I wonde if Edmondson could go to the States. Their season is on a different calendar so different rules I think.

Lot of bed wetting today, start that game today with Fry, VDB, Borges, Morris, Hackney, Doak, Azaz and LL I think we win it. I don’t like to loose but leading up to the game I was thinking I’d rather go out and put all our attention into league games only. Helps with fitness too.

I’m unsure on the rules etc but that could be a good shout. I would just keep him though. I’d look to sell Matt Clarke if we are looking to rid ourselves of a CB.

I’m sure someone mentioned that we were going to sign him on a permanent contract only last week. 

Also wouldn't be bothered about edmundson going, Clarke either to be honest. Both good defenders when backs are against the wall and they are only focusing on defending. 

But when you want to play attacking football and try to open teams up then you need defenders with proper athleticism and the ability to get back in shape very quickly. Neither do and it's why there are always holes there and we are countered easily. Fry is a bit better and vdb is the best of our defenders at it but I still wouldn't be surprised if we're in the market for another cb in that mould to replace them.
