Yeah he's mostly played at CB this season for Swansea and they did move him back out to LWB for a few games but moved him back to CB again because defensively they were poorer without him in the back three. I'd say the move to CB this season is a good thing for him because it's something Kenny mentioned when asked about CBs. He referenced the fact Stevens, Manning, and might have mentioned Scales can play LWB or LCB, and Doherty who filled in at CB against Wales last year. Think it might have been when we named four CBs in October and Coleman was out injured. It's probably a big reason why Manning is making squads that he offers cover at LCB. |

Joel Bagan - a young left back born in England, played underage for Scotland and presently plays his football in Wales is now our most in-form goal scorer. What a time to be alive!

Didn't start today but came on as sub and assisted Cardiff's first goal in their 2-1 win over QPR

Maybe someone that watches Cardiff regularly will fill me in but it's astonishing he even got dropped to the bench today considering the form he's in..
Has savage attacking output one of his goals a few weeks ago he showed genuine poachers instinct in how he managed to put himself in a position in the box. A few weeks ago I said he's arguably 4th/5th in the LWB pecking order and a year or two off a senior squad place now I wouldn't remotely mind him being called up. Stevens is missing (injured I presume) Manning is playing CB for Swansea Scales out the Celtic squad.

Very nice through ball assist. Hit the crossbar earlier in the game also.

They put O'Dowda in at left-back, and he did well, so Bagan may be out of luck.

Probably the only one on the bench that could do a job there. He's been their best attacking player so can't see them sticking him out of position at LB.

Jamilu Collins has done his ACL and is out for the season. Will be interesting to see if Bagan gets a decent shot now or if they go back into the transfer market before it closes.

They'll have to go into the market because they only had two LBs and didn't see Bagan as a starter this season.

Bagan looks a really good talent and going forward looks frightening on his day.
Hes played championship football as 18/19 years old and popped up with a few excellent performances and a few goals/assists. Part of me thinks he's been fasttracked because of his left sided position and probably needed a little more time to fill out and work on his defensive responsibilities. Good news is that at 20 he's already got a very good amount of experience.

Cardiff fans have mostly said similar and did cut him a bit of slack at first because he was mostly playing because they had no money to reinvent and needed to cut some costs. Going forward he has his moments and can find good positions coming in field when attacking. But needs to work on his defensive side, especially now that Cardiff have gone to four at a back. |
