ramit Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 i believe the gist of one of Murphy's Laws is that if you cannot afford things to go wrong then they certainly will, but likewise if you are covered for most eventualities, those eventualities become much less likely to occur. i just hope we are covered in case we don't go up, because then we probably will Keep the squad as it is for now with the possible exception of Roos. BTW, if you think this is the most insane post ever, you ain't seen nothing yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgford Ram Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I do personally, every first team appearance he's made for us has been in midfieldWeird isn't it? I assume he played as a CB all the way through the youth teams? Then comes into the first team and plays midfield and takes set peices. Certainly not a traditional CB! I should know but does he still feature for the u21 team and when he does, where does he play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stature doesn't really strike me as a CB in professional terms. Personally his future is in midfield. He says he's happy to play anywhere.

EnigmaRam Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 We're still an attacking full back away from being the real deal imo. I can see a few out on loan and wouldn't be surprised to see one or two come in.agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StringerBell Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I think Hanson will still be prominent in the squad as he is the only one (other than Baird) that can cover Thorne on holding role. So i'd still expect to see him on the bench.Bradley Johnson has done it in the Premier League I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should know but does he still feature for the u21 team and when he does, where does he play?He tends to play in midfield for the U21's, he is not big enough to play as a centre half. I have seen him score some spectacular goals from free kicks, shame that they don't let him near them for the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAT Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Bradley Johnson has done it in the Premier League I think.Yeah but I should expect we'll be playing him in his best position further forward. I doubt he left the prem to play out of position. Hanson is more than capable and we need to keep giving the academy players opportunities.

I know he's done well there but I don't think Bradley Johnsons is primarily a wide midfielder like some are saying and he is arguably playing out of position when played wide left. He's played most of his career in central midfield I believe, including a large spell in then holding midfield role for Norwich in the Prem as well as a central midfield pairing with Howson at Leeds who is hardly a bruiser. He's pretty versatile it seems and is another one you can add to your list as players who can cover Thorne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemark Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 The narrative of being a 'well run club' in a financial context has been blown out of the water now. The losses for the year are going to be even bigger. This is not a problem if we go up soon. If we don't how long can it be sustained and what will that mean for the club? If we don't make a push for the PL now however we will just be left behind. It is a huge catch 22 situation but well played to Melvyn Morris for going for it. It a great that he is truly a Derby man too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyDyer Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I expect to see Martin, Thorne and Shackell go out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'm expecting lots of short loans for those players who are already mentioned in this thread. Keeps them ready for games if they are needed with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier ram Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Think Christie , Bucko , Calero and Dawkins would benefit most by going out on loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafiabob Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'm fairly amused that Hendrick is the one that drops down the pecking order.... Agreed he does have his bad moments... But there's still plenty of improvement from him... Still fairly young... I would be more worried if my name is Craig Bryson... No slant on a good player but between Hendrick and Bryson... Hendrick can still improve whereas Bryson you have to say is probably at his peak... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier ram Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Hendrick for me hasnt progressed in the last two years , still very inconsistent , on his day unstoppable , on his off daya a passenger . As for Brys i think , barring anymore injuries , he will be chomping at the bit to make up for a disappointing season last time out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then comes into the first team and plays midfield and takes set peices. Certainly not a traditional CB!Think we've been fairly short of CBs in the u21s in recent years... Also there are plenty of player who play one positions as a youf and move into a new one when they hit senior football...I would be more worried if my name is Craig Bryson... No slant on a good player but between Hendrick and Bryson... Hendrick can still improve whereas Bryson you have to say is probably at his peak...We've been saying that for a couple of seasons and haven't seen a lot of evidence for it so far IMOI worry that he's another Stephen Pearson... A guy who people said had all the requisite qualities to be a great player... had the odd game where he was unplayable... but just didn't have his head 'right'... I worry with Hendrick that he only does well when he has someone to talk him through everything movement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PodgeyRam Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I imagine Dawkins and one of Shotton or Christie will go out on loan. Hanson will probably drop back to the under 21's along with Ssewankambo. Maybe, Johson won't be playing in midfield but'll playing up front on the wing, in which case he replaces Russell, not that I would do that.
