As long as we score more than the other team that is all that matters to win the game. We have had a couple of seasons where we were scoring regularly but were a little soft at the back due to over eagerness, last season for the most part we were at the other end of the spectrum, felt defensively solid, for the most part but sacrificed a lot of our attacking eagerness. With Pearson hopefully he can find that balance where we look like we can score as and when we need to but with the resilience that felt like we were missing under Mac.

Well we will soon see. But don't forget all the teams think that because that's why they appointed their coach of choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagerbob Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Pearson said there would be additions no further outs. So in answer to the original post, no we dont. Close the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying the deployment of more talented players by more talented coaches has no bearing on the result? I like your method Curtains, slate everything that happens at Derby County Football Club so when it doesn't reach it's ultimate goal, you're proven to be right. Very clever...

One of the dictionary definitions of Support is - "to agree with and give encouragement to someone or something because youwant him, her, or it to succeed:" Pi**ing & moaning about everything is hardly being supportive...

There's goals throughout the team. It's up to Pearson to get the best out of everyone and if he does, we'll be fine for goals. Martin - 15+ goals in each of his last 3 seasons. Bent - Scored 10 in 15 when he got a regular run of games due to Martin's injury. Ince - Hit double figures in each of his last 2 seasons for us. Russell - Hit double figures last season. Blackman - Although not a consistent scorer throughout his career, he showed that he has the ability last season for Reading. Bryson - Scored 16 goals in the 13-14 season. Unlikely he'll hit anywhere near that again, but he can chip in with some. Johnson - 15 goals for Norwich the season before he joined us so he has it in him. Butterfield - Scored 8 last season despite regularly being benched. It obviously won't work out like this, but maybe we'll get 25+ goals from Martin and Bent, 25+ goals from Ince, Blackman, Russell, Weimann and Razza and 20+ goals from the group of centre mids we have, Bryson, Johnson, Butterfield, Hendrick, Hughes and Thorne and we've got at least 70 goals there. We were only 6 goals behind the top scorers last season despite most of the forward players under performing by their usual standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
