Davies keep, I’m not sure on Douglas, when he isn’t injured or is on his game I think he is the best LB we have but is that good enough? I’m going to say sell Douglas and bring in another dedicated player in that position. We have plenty of cover at LB but nobody who I think does a fantastic job.. Too many ‘can play’ that position... Thoughts?....
Agree it’s a ‘can play’ position though I think dallas has done well there, I think alioski also often looks better there as an attacking force than he does playing as a winger... but he gets done for pace a bit defensively as does Douglas. That’s only going to get more obvious in the Prem. Douglas hasn’t hit the heights we all hoped and I think is going to find himself surplus. Davis is young and I think they rate him, so he’s probably a keeper, and Douglas probably will go.
Douglas is the best LB at the club and also supposed to have a wand. Too much injury has held him back and obviously Bielsa needs a fully fit Douglas or he will play Dallas or Alioski, so Im guessing Douglas could be sold on. leif Davies was supposed to be the dogz but seems to have gone backwards. Believe he had an injury and yet another reason we’ve seen Dallas and Alioski. Davies is one of the quickest players at the club so lets see what happens. If he is not moved on it should mean Bielsa is going to persevere. We all said the same about Tom Pearce though and he got an U21 call up, where’s he now....
Only seen glimpses of Davies. Supposed to be the next big thing. Didn't kick on due to injury. Not too sure. Keep him for this season and see if he can stay injury free and make a decision next summer. I feel for Douglas. He's a great player. Sometimes a move doesn't quite work out and I think this is the case here. Its nobodies fault really. He'll probably leave once we bring in a replacement. Dallas and Alioski can fill in here too but I'm not sure playing a full season in the PL would be ideal. Dallas is most capable out of the options we have. LB is a position that needs addressing this window.
Pearce, 3 games for Wigan and 9 for Scunthorpe before that, looks like he's had a nightmare since he left us.Shame for the lad, never let us down.
