I have no sound evidnce to back it up but I get the feeling that
Gustard is working very hard to get a proper squad of players in
all the senses of that description. He will rotate and give
players who play well every opportunity. It takes time and I
surmise that its starting to work. Ibitoye will get his chance
- I dont doubt for one moment. Its a long season and we will
have our fair share of injuries and International call ups.

Agreed, theres no rush with ibitoye this season, he will get his
opportunities at some point. Brown will be away with england and
possibly earle too, an injury here or there and he will be
involved.
It does seem more difficult to keep all our outside backs
involved in 1st team games, i suppose they are exposed to a
lower number of high impact collisions than other positions and
perhaps less prone to injury as a result...
I think charlie walker is my worry. Charlie is my favourite
attacking player in the squad, he has real x factor, incredible
speed, acceleration and feet but he didnt really perform in his
early sesson opportunities. Entering into the winter months he
could find his chances limited and defence also appears to be an
ongoing issue for him. Charlie could well look for a move at the
end of the season, personally id love to see him in the team
scoring tries.
On visser, i dont see all the negatives, he seems very unpopular
with some supporters. He always looks pretty solid defensively
and under the high ball and he is a consistant finisher, when he
should score, he does. He perhaps doesnt have the acceleration
or excitment of an ibitoye or walker but its not 7s and there
has to be an element of pragmatism in team selection.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Ibitoye is being held back
from Premiership play until he has demonstrated that he's lost
the bad habits of last season. He could be exceptional if he
rounds out his game, but it's better to make him work for a
start by correcting his faults than push him forward too soon
and expect him to fix them later - an approach that hasn't
worked for any number of players who broke through at a young
age, Wade and Walker not least.

Visser didn't look too hot under the high ball last week tbh but
yes, he is a big lad and a great finisher.

Swapped more than dropped in the long and short of it. It’s
swings and roundabouts. Happens every game swapping players,
that’s why there’s a group of players named collectively as a
squad..

Well other than Walker failing to perform and being dropped,
Lambert failing to perform and being dropped and Visser finally
getting a shot, being anonymous - and now let’s see.

Dropped / knocked on a high ball that led a few phases later to
BV's try. For that alone he deserved to be dropped, let alone
being pretty anonymous as Blucher has said. Not one of our great
signing IMHO
