How far is Charlie Adams away from the first team? Will we see him pre-season. meant to be a good un and a left back

I'm fairly sure he's left-footed... He played left wing against Tonbridge last year. I suppose the proof of how the dev squad players from last year are doing will be tonight... Norris, Oyeleke, German and Adams should all feature if they're fit. Wasn't there something in the chronny a couple of weeks ago saying that Uwe had these lot training with the first team with Mawson?

He could well be..Sure he played left back for the youth team though.

Might be wrong, it's happened many times before!

I don't think you are im sure I remember him playing left back before but i do think he's more of a centre mid.
 

Jake Bidwell

Charlie Adams is a left footed midfield player although given how left sided he is, I'm sure he's familliar with the left back position.
But that's not where he plays now.

Please stop calling him Biddy.

It is the campest thing I have ever heard.

I agree it should really be Cricket, Cricket, Cricket, Well Done Wiggins, Cricket, Cricket, Cricket, Where are the onions, Should we sign Calvin Zola, Martin Allen, Cricket.
 

Jake Bidwell

Do we currently have any left backs? Presume if the season started tomorrow we'd have Craig there with Legge and Dean in the middle?
 

Jake Bidwell

...............here's hoping.............
 

Jake Bidwell

So no news on Mr. Bidwell yet ...even a 'no it' s not happening'. Ah well.

As for Taylor every photo of him from Germany as far as I can see shows him shining the ball or firing it into defenders shoulders. Pictures paint a thousand words.
 

Jake Bidwell

Taylor did OK in the 2nd half against Meuselwitz... I'm not going to lie, he's no Bidwell, and I wouldn't want to see him play every week on the strength of that performance, but if he is affordable cover for both Left Back and Centre Back, then I wouldn't really object. He's not exaclty the exciting signing that we've come to expect under Uwe is he...
 

Jake Bidwell

Im of the opinion that a combination of Redwood as an attacking full back and Taylor as a defensive one would be pretty decent next year.

Early days and too early for me to form a proper opinion - however based on 90 minutes at Woking, Taylor was far from impressive.

You are so diplomatic!

He was rubbish. Couldn't mark his man, didn't get forward, could not pass to a fellow Bees player, didn't win anything in the air, was constantly beaten for pace.

Apart from that he looked good in the warm up!

The guy hasn't even played 90 minutes for the Bees yet !
Lets be positive about the trailists before they prove to be rubbish, rather than the other way round

That isnt how we do things around here kid , get outta town and back to where you're from .
 

Jake Bidwell

Bidwell is obviously the preferred option, but given that seems a little distance off at the moment, we need to look up other options. Taylor may not be his first choice, but when your first couple of choices aren't available, you have to look down the pecking order.

I'd rather us be looking at Taylor at this point than no one. But given his time out of the game, I wouldn't be surprised if he needs a few games to get back into the groove.
 

Jake Bidwell

Fair point on Taylor. If the Bidwell thing falls through we'd all be expecting a back up plan. Taylor must be it. Lucky fella. You have to be nervous about the whole 'he's coming back from injury' thing though irrespective of how good he may once have been.

I'm all for being positive but in fairness anyone at the Hayes game would have seen a left-back performance that could only be described as woeful in the first half. The positives I can take is that Taylor must have been exceptional in training to have earned a trip to Germany, to balance out that display last week!

All perfectly fair points. Just based upon the very limited evidence of his performance against Hayes he looks very much a full back in the Woodman mode rather than one who is likely to rampage forward at every opportunity. Not sure how that sits with Uwe'd philosophy of full backs who want to get forward. Still it's an option in a position where the cupboards a bit bare and we should know more about the possibilities following his performances in Germany.
 

Jake Bidwell

The likely explanation is that UR had a few unfilled spaces for the Germany trip ( left back,forward,? Midfield ), so instead filled them with trialists

Exactly. I am surprised that people seem to be anxious about the Bidwell, will he / won't he saga, if the deal is right for all parties he'll come, if it isn't Uwe will move to plan B. I can't comment on Taylor as I've not seen him play but if as some say he's a replica of Woodman I don't see why Uwe would want him...............why aren't we looking a Dickson ?

Backup for Bidwell;)
 

Jake Bidwell

we arent looking at Dickson as he is sitting on his £10k a week wages that got bumped up with promotion for another year and then he will move on a free with a tasty signing on fee

Forshaw has said that he wants Bidwell to join for this season (http://www.hounslowchronicle.co.uk/...79/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter). But the interesting story is that apparently Jake has signed (assuming agreed terms means he has put pen to paper) a new one year deal at Everton so we can only hope for a loan now.
Click to expand...

Never imagined we'd get anything better than than a long term loan and if true good news, if not there are others. I hadn't heard of him this time last season and no left back we are likely to sign will be the difference between going up or staying down

Depends on whether he has actually signed a deal with Everton or not. But I agree it sounds like Jake's decision.

Can't he still earn his wage and be loaned out, the loaning club do not have to pay the full wage.
 

Jake Bidwell

I would now bet that Everton have had offers from other clubs for Bidwell both transfer and loan.
 

Jake Bidwell

Can I be the first one to state the bleeding obvious before we all go Bidwell crazy (for some this message comes too late)

Jake Bidwell - a young full back - hasn't quite made the grade at Everton
Had an OK start at BFC, then got stronger and better at the end of the season (when the pressure was off)
He's a nice lad with lots of family based in the North
He's a left back
He can pass and run past players that are slow
He can tackle
Like a lot of loanees he's impressed whilst on loan - will he be so impressive on a more comfortable 2 year contract ?

If we don't get him, there are other players just as capable whom we have not yet seen !
We are in League One and I would say a striker is still top priority, in terms of financial outlay than any thought of big compo for Everton for Bidders !

:moo:
