Derby born & bred Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Does anyone else think this is what is missing???? I watched the game on sky abroad and to be honest the only one that looked any good was Hughes in midfield. Couts and Jacobs were ok aswell. We had some good spells, but overall they dominated the game. I realy think we are missing an old pro in the middle of the pitch, a Dave Mackay figure to boss it and show the young ones the way. My guy would be Sean Derry at QPR i noticed he was playing the other day for them, but just wonder what Harry has planned for him and maybe if Clough could nip in there in January and offer the guy a decent wage to come here and play for us. I think he could be the player we need and will help the younger players come along aswell. What do others think? and what sort of midfielder would you like to see at Derby?

Ambitious Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Definitely. However, a good experienced midfielder who is capable of this level, and higher will want a rack of cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungUttoxRam Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 An old head would be ideal, but age wouldn't matter for me if someone came into the side who could really put some crunching tackles in more often, win those headers Bryson and Hughes won't win because its all we miss in the middle, we have energy and decent enough technical ability already and for as big as Hendrick is he's not as tough as I'd have thought! A nasty little tvvvvat like Michael Brown, Shaun Derry would be great too but the problem is 23 other teams in the division want the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear yer, and know money is the problem, but surely a guy like Derry would bring that to Derby and i dont think he is the sort just after the money think he loves his football and would love the challenge.

BondJovi Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I have a strange hatred of Derry. But something is needed..... Then again the last old head was Savage leading a merry dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Also, I don't think we should be going for a Michael Brown, Shaun Derry type player... A player to win the midfield is enough. I thought Danny Drinkwater was excellent at just that yesterday, you don't have to have a player who goes around kicking people for this role.

Duracell Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I don't see what an old head would achieve really. By 'old head', I assume you mean someone who gets the ball and continually finds white shirts to help us get a foothold in the game, and someone who pulls the strings of the team. We already have that in Will Hughes. For me, the main problem yesterday was distribution from the back 5. Buxton likes to pass forwards normally to Hughes or Hendrick/Bryson, but yesterday Waghorn and Vardy pressed so high that both he and Keogh only ever looked like passing sideways or hoofing it up the pitch. It wouldn't have mattered who was in the midfield, Leicester were ensuring the game bypassed our middle. Once they got their second goal, a combination of things happened. Slowly, Leicester stopped working so hard and we also filled out the centre more by bringing Coutts in there. I really hope Hendrick recaptures last season's form - he also plays like an experienced CM on his day. Milwall at home springs to mind in particular where he completely bullied their other midfielders physically and kept us ticking through consistent passing.

-JW- Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Bryson and Hughes are doing just fine. It will need to be a very very good player to get past one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derby born & bred Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Paul Scholes..wud be nice..

-JW- Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I'd much rather see talented young midfielder, than a bog standard experienced midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Don't think we need an 'old head'.. The last old head we had in midfield was absolute ****. (Savage) Bryson and Hughes are fine, we just need to sign another Bryson, a midfielder with that can run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Not a big name, just a NPC CDM to bring on when Bryson's out or we're holding onto a lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawsonRam Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I think Darren Ambrose only 28 but very experienced at this level..not playing as often as he may like for Brum and a specialist free kick taker who is far better than Jacobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungUttoxRam Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Beckham? XD I'd get Frimpong for the season, if possible... Frimpong looked good in the wolves side before his injury, hasn't he gone to Charlton though? Would fit into our side nicely if either Bryson or Hughes was missing!

Cisse Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Jari Litmanen is free and definitely has an old head. He can't run for **** but that's not required is it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
