Sell for £20m, and all the cash must be reinvested in new players.

Right,wasn't aware of that. Maybe he had a better understanding with the 2 he played with at Fleetwood or Hunts/Clarke are the problem or he may have been fine playing it in lower divisions only.

Absolutely he is.
He’s had a poor season.

Let's be honest, who hasn't apart from Robinson?
You’re right, but the point still stands. Much more to come from him.
Still, an excellent prospect, and can understand why bigger clubs may be looking at him.
We've not had a single one of our defenders had a decent start to the season. When you consider centre halves generally hit their peak in their late 20s I think when BD is now is a fantastic platform. He is still learning but needs a cool head alongside him to help him out.
He isn't really getting that currently from Clarke and to a lesser degree Hunts.
I think last season with the experience of Cunningham outside him and Hunts who was outstanding last season it allowed him a bit more luxury to make the odd mistake. This year he is looking a little exposed but I don't think he should actually be blamed for that.

It's been a bit of a strange one. Overall he's played very well in the majority of games and has looked the most assured of the lot. However, he's been directly responsible for a fair amount of goals we've conceded, not through mistakes but through poor positioning or switching off. He's still first pick on current form however.
But we know that won't happen...
Too many players out of form at the moment,
In fairness both goalies have probably been exposed far to easily, Fisher and Davies who were pretty tidy last year have dropped a gear this year and Clark and Huntington have pretty dire tbh.
When the whole defence is out of form we are always going to get exposed against decent sides.

In a nutshell.
Have to say, I'm pretty disappointed at his performances thus far, and yes he is costing us goals. I think he's a top prospect as much as others, but whilst a lot of the flak/focus has been at Clarke, Huntington and Fisher, Davies has indeed directly cost us numerous goals.
People will say the own goal was unlucky today. To some extent it was, the way it nestled into the net beyond Maxwell. I don't think it's all just unlucky though. It's an absolutely awful defensive header which is put into a really dangerous area for us, whether it goes into our own net or not.
He needs to buck up and quickly imho, if we're to move up the table, because he is vital.
