    This.
    I want full backs who can defend and perhaps take a decent free kick or corner.

      Solid enough with back to goal which is his job and fair enough but not massively impressed with what I have seen

      Shocking grammar from me so had to edit will teach me to write messages on the train
      This.

        Quite a difference of opinion here, some say poor some say solid.

        Haven't seen much of him but couple of Brentford mates admitted they were gutted when he joined and a few pals who go every week say he's been decent enough.

          Westie you say he doesn't get forward enough but do think that maybe he's doing what he's being told? Just a thought.

            Think he's pretty solid and dependable as a defender, only issue with him is he doesn't support the winger in front of him enough when attacking

                For him to attack he needs reassuring that others can cover his position whilst up the wing ? Might be a confidence thing.

                  Exactly, when Bidwell and Ned gets forward, one of the two CM's need to cover him.

                    He does get forward and support the attack a lot but agree that the end product that needs some work.

                      I like Bidwell, consistent, no frills or spills, good delivery from dead balls and wing.

                        Just out of interest:

                        How many better LB's are there in this division?

                        How many goals conceded has he been at fault for this season?

                              Whoscored.com have him rated as the 13th best left back out of the 21 to play more than 4 games in that position.

                                love the way he frustrates attackers by blocking them / using his body and they can't get round him . not the sort of player u notice but get's on with the job
