Warren Hobhead Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Complete myth. He played like that at Barnsley too. And people wonder why he's still here. Enjoy the meltdown, people. I'm off to get hammered myself. Embarrassment tonight. One shot on target was it? Out-fought, out-battled. Burton wanted it more. They had a game-plan. Burton chuffin Albion. Well done, Mel. Pass me the JD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfcreece1601 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Was utterly awful I thought at the start of the season that we need an out and our goalscorer , but it's much worse than that , we are crying out for something much more , sad times to be a Rams fan at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 He was poor tonight and on other occasions this season, probably the system/ tactics we are failing at using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst he's obviously not at home in that position that doesn't mean he loses everything else which seems so at the moment. He's starting to plant a seed of doubt in my mind with his start to the season. Looks off it completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIWY Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Not had a a great start to the season but it's so unfair to single him out when I can't actually say I think anyone's had a good start to the season (maybe Shackell and Keogh). Let's not forget what Hughes can do, what we've seen him do and why we expect such a lot from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lad is a play-maker, you try playing him as a box to box midfielder he is going to be poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play him in a free advanced position, with runners available and give him all the confidence he needs and let the boy play. As opposed to what NP is doing which is very very odd to say the least. Oh, and unproductive too. No question about his talent or ability. Just use him properly in an attack minded system IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes, Bryson and Butterfield have all been poor of late. Trouble is, so have our wide players, so it doesn't really matter which formation we play, there won't be anything for our forwards to work off.

duncanjwitham Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 He's best offensively when he's got license to roam and people to pass to. He's best defensively when he's got license to go chasing the ball and press the other team. So obviously we play him in a role that gives him licence to roam either defensively or offensively and gives him no one to pass to. It's not flipping rocket science - tell players to not do what they are good at, and to do what they're bad at, they're gonna look bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not expecting him to dominate a game but I'd like to see him at least try and influence it, he's (apparently) one of the best midfielders in the league yet he's happy dropping the ball off in 4/5 yard passes and then hiding off it. I appreciate he's not got as many options as he should have but he looks devoid of any confidence at the minute. For a player with the ability we know he has and all the hype that goes with it, he's well short of his previously seen high standards. We're definitely holding him back in this deeper role but at the same time the simple stuff should be still there. It isn't at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Destroyed by the long ball tactics imo he can't do a lot at defensive mid when the ball just bypasses him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Ram Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 He's not a defensive midfielder, terrible at marking, no real defensive awareness & too lightweight & comes too deep to collect a five yard pass from the back two excellent going forward, can unlock defences and plas like a championship version (poor mand version) of a cesc fabregas next week chris martin & darren bent at centre back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannable Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 ALL of our players have been down around 10% on their passing accuracies compared to last season. Footballers will look bad in teams that don't look to play football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
