just a right back needed and we are done! 11:29 - Aug 16 with 3604 views | Wallingford_Boy | KVY needs some proper competition for his shirt, (not Donacien). But other than that, all finished. Now to get them all playing together! |  |

Agreed. Donacien has been good enough. Personally I would rather have an extra CB than RB. |  | |  |

Me neither. I would say that Donacien is a much more capable centre half than Nsiala too. He is infinitely more comfortable on the ball, particularly in the centre of defence where he has options on both flanks. |  | |  |

No slander here, he's played really well, just think we need a specialist RB. Plus the no.2 shirt is vacant.... |  |

Has Burns ever played right back?! |  |

I'd have Donacien as a CB, always done ok there. Definitely need a RB and as posted elsewhere, if Burns is the alternative to KVY we would then need a new right winger. |  | |  |

Yes. He did so against us for Fleetwood and I think played there more than on the wing for them. |  |

just a right back needed and we are done! on 11:47 - Aug 16 with 3140 views | 3_5_2 | Donacian is decent cover if KVY gets injured, plus Burns can play there so I I think we have enough cover at RB Couldsden / Penny at LB so ok there (KVY can play lb too) Edmundson / Burgess plus Wolf / Donacian as cover at CB (Toto out for a while and Ndaba perhaps not ready) do we need cover there? |  |

just a right back needed and we are done! on 11:49 - Aug 16 with 3122 views | Hipsterectomy | I have always thought Donacien wasn’t good enough, but he’s impressed me in the Morecambe and Newport game. Also, for a player who has never really been given a chance here he seems well up for it, which is a testament to his character |  |

Lambert had a downer on him for some reason, dating back to their Villa days. Wouldn't be my 1st choice but he's adequate cover for both full back and centre back. |  | |  |

Not sure we do. We already have Burns, Dobra and Aluko who can all play wide right. Edwards I believe swapped wings at Burton so is another option. |  | |  |

I'm intrigued by Donacien's squad number. It stands out a mile. He's not in the bomb squad. He had a decent loan last season, came in and wasn't party to last seasons shower. So not one Cook had it in for, rightly. Kenlock wasn't given a number. Jackson was, probably because he has value in the market and it might help us get even an extra £25k for him. Janoi does have a value too to a lesser extent than Jackson. He's worn 2 and 12 here hasn't he? So not like 44 is his favourite. Lambert I could see giving him 44 out of pettiness, but Cook has no issue with the guy, so presumably offered him a lower number. Only thing I can think of is he was 22 at Fleetwood, that was taken, so asked for 44. Anyone have any other theories? |  | |  |

... whilst he does struggle with that final cutting edge He's been really putting in a shift, and defensively as looked pretty sound |  |

If Aluko and Dobra are going to be our first choice options on the RW then we're going to have issues. Apart from the fact Dobra doesn't stay wide, im yet to be convinced by him at all. Yes he can dribble with the ball and he is tenacious but he needs to improve a lot imo. Edwards can play there but evidently is a LW who likes to come inside. He's also potentially going to be a fantastic player at this level so let's play him in his favoured position. |  | |  |

It's the number of appearances he wants to make this season. You can't fault the lad's ambition... |  |

Or a goals target? Do defenders set a goals conceded target like some attacking players set for goals scored? |  |

I think it's possibly because he's simply not very good. He's behind Nsiala in the pecking order, FFS. |  |

Here's a free hot take that I'm licensing for your use Chico - if Mick had bought Donacien, this lot would HATE him. [Post edited 16 Aug 2021 19:37]

Don’t be a twerp. I like Donacien. Solid defensively if we need that, and not all that bad going forward. He also had a weird stop-start with his visa but stuck around and has pretty much gone about his business uncomplainingly since then. You should take a leaf. |  |

just a right back needed and we are done! on 18:54 - Aug 16 with 2326 views | istanblue | *centre back Donacien looks like he's improved. Nsiala and Ndaba on the other hand won't cut it at L1 level. |  | |  |
