TBF Oviedo had one game under DM and was MOTM = dropped just like he did when Coleman did the same v Spurs so no its no surprise to me - be also aware Oviedo can play in front of Baines if need be if we need to move the team around if need be!

Good as he is I think Leighton has a fight on for his place once he is fit. I can't see Bobby dropping Oviedo if he is still in this current run of form. Either way it's a very nice decision to have to make

Evra got bummed routinely on Saturday.
They'll up their chase for Baines, let them pay silly money and invest in the squad. Oviedo is more than capable and it's only been three games, he can only steady his ship and improve from here.

It's hard mate, 11 years under one regime means you get used to things.
Found myself saying "get rid!" plenty of times this season, only for us to work it out without issue.

I still doubt Hogdson would be smart enough to start Baines over Cashley.
We have to also remember that Baines has had his game picked apart by scouts and coaches of rival teams and still shines. Oviedo is new and eventually that is going to happen to him especially with his inital success. Like Coleman he'll have to go through a learning process when teams and players know what he is going to do. All signs look good though, and it looks like we got our Baines replacement for the next few years but I won't go as far as saying that he's already better than Leyton.

I have really liked the look for Oviedo in the last 4 games. He has grown in stature with each game, and his stock has risen immensely. I love the way he loves to go forward and will hug that left touchline like an old-fashioned winger. Quality player that he is, we haven't yet missed Baines at all during his enforced absence, and that is the highest compliment that you can say about his replacement.
I'm sure his performances will be turning the heads of some heavily loaded teams; he must be secured on a long term contract soon.

He's really steady. As well as getting forward, he's excellent at the back, full of energy and with pace, not many will beat him down the side. Arguably, he may not be effective as Baines, but if Baines does leave, he's filled a large chunk of the problem, and that's pleasing that Oviedo has fitted in so easily.

Hes been more effective than what baines has this year.

Naff all he could have done about it though tbf. Could see him being pushed up the pitch, and Baines coming back in if Pienaar's out for a while.

Aye, that's actually a fair shout. Possibly the other way round depending on how Baines is playing on the wing.

Baines in at left back and Oviedo moved further forward....may even see Baines on the bench if pienaar is fit.

Unless we have to play him or Oviedo on the wing, I wouldn't play Baines till QPR.
