Giles

Only very brief highlights, but looks to have had a bit of a mare today, with the constant links, is he really better than what we've got, or was he just part of a better team?
 
I would say yes he is better than what we have available and would be joining a better team with a style that brings out the best in his abilities from an attacking senses.

Giles is clearly unhappy and his career has stalled since he left Boro but he is a good champo left back but and most importantly he doesn't play for Boro so until he pulls on a Boro shirt I will reserve judgement on anything he is doing.

Absolutely worse than any of our full bscks
That defending today was non league standard
 
Every player in any team is open to criticism for mistakes.

Yesterday...

Glover
Edmundson
Barlaser
Engel
Hamilton
Gilbert
Mcgree
Burgzorg

All made errors throughout the game that where really frustrating, some of that was probably due to the lackluster attitude of both teams but all in there own right could be criticised for mistakes they made.

Even naming them and thinking about promotion the majority are just average championship players at best nothing more at present.
 
He's only ever really been good going forward hasn't he. Considering how much people slag off Engel and Borges for their defensive work, I dunno what people expect of Giles defensively when he's just as bad if not worse.
 
I like Giles but defensively he's no better than what we have now really, and that's where the current team are failing at the moment.

i suppose you could make the argument that the extra threat he'd give us going forward might outweigh the negatives but that argument would only last until the moment he makes a mistake like the one he did today.
 
He's been poor since he left. Boro fans live on his 13 assists. He's not remotely a good defender.

We have no issues scoring goals. If anything we need fullback's who can defend. Giles can't.

The other thing with Giles is that he's on so much money that Hull want him off the books. He isn't joining Boro on half the wages and 1mil transfer fee. I imagine he'd still be 2-3mil with significant wages over a 3-4 year deal. The money can be far better spent on other areas.

We already have 3 LBs on decent money. Ones injured and the other two are probably ' alright ' by champo standards. We don't need to be paying 4 LBs wages.
 
The big problem for me is rotation..

Dieng & Brynn was good.. Brynn is out

Dijksteel & Ayling.. Ayling is out

RVDB & Fry.. good but back from injury

Edmunson & Clarke.. both pish

Engel & Borges.. both fine but back from injury

Barlaser & Morris.. Morris is injured

Hackney & Howson.. Howson is injured

Doak & Forss.. Forss only just back

Azaz & Gilbert.. Gilbert only just back

Burgzorg & McGree.. McGree is normally injured

Latte & Conway.. Latte off and Conway injured


Travers & Cannon are or similar are required

Finch & McCabe will be needed

Hopefully Lenihan can come back into the fold!
 
He was superb in the first few months with Carrick.

Then average the last 10 weeks of the season.

And he has been actively terrible since leaving. Unable to hold a spot at multiple clubs.

Should be forgotten
