Mads Bidstrup
Named on the bench tonight!
Very surprised. He must have really impressed with his performance on Sunday and for the first team friendly game v B team.

Hopefully will make his debut when 4 up.
Should think a bit longer now that Marcondes and possibly Norgaard are back.It's interesting that we opted to have Mads on the bench in midweek rather than getting minutes for the B team. Clearly we think he's up to contributing to the first team already.. Wonder how long it will be before we see him get his first minutes?

Agree. If JDS is carrying an injury then bringing him on when the game was done made no sense at all.Should have given him minutes the other night instead of JDS. As soon as that goal went in TF should of sat JDS back down.

They (the coaches) know what they're doing.
We shouldn't keep looking for reasons to be angry/miserable/confused![]()
I have faith that our staff look at every picture, of every size, and are doing just fineI would say its looking at the bigger picture. Was JDS really needed?
Sheff Wed were the worst side ive seen this season.

Pretty sure we have played worse than Sheff Wed?I would say its looking at the bigger picture. Was JDS really needed?

Purely on stats, no... they created the grand total of 0.11 xG against us. A new low for the season ?Pretty sure we have played worse than Sheff Wed?

I think everyone gets that. Point was what was the benefit of the 10mins. I’m sure the medical bods and coaches know best, but after the injuries we’ve picked up of late if JDS had pulled something or picked up a knock from a northern clogger by coming on for a run around in a game already won, we’d all be questioning why.10 minutes against Weds, maybe 20-30 against Stoke could mean he's in position to start vs Norwich . I think the coaching staff clearly have a plan for seeing JDS through the season and we might have to get used to just some cameos from him in many games so he can start and play a role in the bigger ones.

And I thought he maintained his fitness over the match. Not sure he's ready to displace Janelt or Norgaard yet but looks good prospectFirst look at Bidstrup today. Difficult to get much of an impression during what was a pretty low key/low tempo game but he looked decent on and off the ball and not afraid to put a foot in..
Excellent prospectGreat to see Mads given his debut today. Certainly didn't look out of place. Buzzed about, got on the ball and made things happen..
Hopefully will make his debut when 4 up.
A visionary statement. Impressive
Yep, I like my son's comment on him today ie great when B team players come on and don't do anything fancy, just are busy and keep it simple.
I am not sure that Bidstrup was ever signed as a B Team player? He has trained with the First Team since his arrival from Red Bull, he was even injured whilst at St. Georges Park during First Team pre season. Yes, he has played a couple of games at that level, that however, does not make him a B Teamer. Although academic I suppose, as whatever, he is a very good prospect indeed.
I'm not even sure Janelt would have been signed without Bidstrup's injury.
Yep.
Bidstrup was Norgaard’s back up.
Never a B team player. He cost money, probably more than Janelt!

Going to be interesting next season with potentially 4 defensive midfielders if Oksanen returns too.
If we continue with current system, and I don’t see why we wouldn’t certainly in the short term given it almost gives us another man in the park with Norgaard playing both central defense and defensive midfield - and there are very few players who can play those roles as effectively - then Bidstrup likely to get more minutes off subs bench as replacement for Janelt. Alternatively if we want to shore up a bit more he comes on alongside JaneltCant wait to see him getting more minutes. Big prospect.
Norgaard certainly played the role like a cross between beckenbauer and Bobby Moore !!!Well if Norgaard continues with his Beckenbauer role then we might well see some more game time for this young player as backup for Janelt

I could be wrong but I thought it was twice that and more.Around 750k I think??
I read somewhere it’s was 750-900k though I could also be wrong.I could be wrong but I thought it was twice that and more.

That’s Janelt transfer isn’t it?Bottom of this link:

You don't have to be Mads to play for Brentford, but it helps.It,s mad there are too many Mads.
