JOEL BAGAN

I would put the lad in at left back he had a good few games for us last season or season before scored a few goals also
and the more he can play the better and cement his place and a young lad he could be the next joe bennet he will make mistakes but none more than collins who was awful when he came back from injury
but it would also free up o'dowda to play his best position left wing
and stick willock on the right wing.
Otherwise he might aswell move on
but i personally think he could make the step up and hope he does.

Yet to get convinced he’s good enough for the Championship, maybe he’ll get his chance tonight.

As for Willock, the general feeling seems to be his was our best performer against Sunderland. For that reason it makes no sense to move him away from the position he did well in. His best position is left wing, I think it would be kicking ourselves in the foot to play him somewhere else.

I also believe he is better than O’Dowda. Besides it will be only a couple of weeks before O’Dowda gets injured again.

Tanner can’t start, that’s obvious. Meite will have to play there until there’s a new signing or until El Ghazi is ready.

If o' dowda is going to be off ill again in 3 weeks time as you suggest
the sooner bagan fits in the better unless we find a left back
If bagan cannot get a place in the 1st team now he never will i though he did well in pre season.

Bagan can’t defend. That’s why the last 3 managers haven’t picked him !! He looks OK going forward but completely clueless in defending against a winger.

If he was good enough he would have made it by now. Time to move on in my opinion.

Really? That’s a bit harsh. He played quite well again tonight I thought in the centre.

As I said, clueless when defending against a winger, he’s not a full back for sure.

I haven’t seen him play elsewhere so I’ll reserve judgement on that but he’s going to be 23 years old in a few weeks time so if he’s going to make it at this level time is running out.

Unless he's improved at insane levels in a year, no for me.
Too slow. Sits on the shoulder of our CB meaning the winger has a field day. Not good enough.

Joel Bagan, 3-4 yrs ago looked the business, we sent him out on loan.

He’s 23 yrs old now and I feel he’s gone totally backwards.

Should be a regular now if he’s going to make it??

Harsh on king. He played most games for morcambe and Ross county last season with very positive reviews
