DcFc Dyycheee Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Here's what it says - Meanwhile, the relegated League One side are snapping up Derby keeper Frank Fielding. The 25-year-old was a surprise inclusion in an England squad under Fabio Capello in August 2010 but has lost his place at Pride Park following the arrival of Lee Grant, who signed from Burnley - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2343472/Chelsea-sign-14-year-old-Jacob-Maddox-Bristol-City-year-deal.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I think he would be a cracking signing for Bristol, I sort of don't want him to go because he is still a good player but he won't be first choice so i'll be glad to see him get a good move to somewhere like Bristol.

DcFc Dyycheee Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Good move for him, think they'll come straight back up with S'OD in charge so won't be in League 1 too long. Shame to see him go as he will be a cracking keeper in the future, keep forgetting he's only 25, got another 10+ years left yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Brizzle is fast becoming Derby County 'B'. Alternatively, we are fast becoming Brizzle's feeder club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Ram Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Gone to Burnley. It's like a love/goalkeeper triangle then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Be a decent signing for them. Not too disappointed to see him leave. His kicking was poor, height was an issue and staying on his line from crosses was a real concern. Top shot stopper, but that's a pre-requisite of a decent goalkeeper now, it's the other stuff which tip you over the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admira Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Now on local news site too but it doesn't tell you mush: Robins keen on signing Rams keeper Fielding Tuesday, June 18, 2013 DERBY County goalkeeper Frank Fielding is wanted by Bristol City. Fielding has been made available for transfer this summer, along with Adam Legzdins, after Rams boss Nigel Clough recruited Lee Grant from Burnley. City, relegated from the Championship last term, are currently without a senior stopper following the departures of Tom Heaton and Dean Gerken http://www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk/story-19317490-detail/story.html#axzz2WYtOja7d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodleyRam Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I like Frank, I hope he does find another clubs cos he does deserve to play first team football, just didn't work out for him here. Good lad though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StockholmRam Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Fielding was on fire when he arrived at Derby on loan from Blackburn. He and other keepers have gone backwards under Martin Taylor. At Blackburn Rovers he worked for a while under former Rams goalkeeper and world class keeping coach Eric Steele before Eric went to join SAF coaching team at Man Utd. Eric just became available again. Doubt thst Nige would admit that one of his coaching team might not be all that though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two or three years ago, probably 50% of people on here blamed Clough's coaching team when we lost, so I suppose nothing has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one i'm sure you have never seen a coaching session with Taylor. I can't think of one goalkeeper that has gone 'backwards' while he's been here.

eddie Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Taylor was a tremendous goalkeeper for Derby until that horrible injury at Southend, and did really well at Wycombe winning their player of the year award on more than one occasion. Why should he be a bad coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StockholmRam Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Well it might be stating the obvious but goalkeeping coaches do tend to coach and prepare the keepers ready for matches! Frank in my opinion has changed since he arrived. He stopped being excellent at coming for and catching crosses. His kicking went someway off what we saw when he came on loan too. His confidence seems not at top level. As for never having seen a coaching session with Taylor....incorrect. I coach myself and have been to umpteen Rams coaching sessions as an invited observer! Just calling it as I see it. For the record I dont go to Rams sessions anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucktwo Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 also his pre-match warm ups with the keepers does the world of good for our Greggs sponsorship deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StockholmRam Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Eddie...come ON mate. Since when did beibg a great player make anyone a great coach. Football is littered with former world class players, even World Cup winners. Who were hopeless as coaches!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheron85 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 He stopped being excellent at coming for and catching crosses. His kicking went someway off what we saw when he came on loan too. His confidence seems not at top level. He's never been any good at getting crosses OR kicking... difference since when he arrived was he doesn't come for crosses, since before he'd just come out and flap at them... I think both of our keepers simply suffer from being young... excellent shot-stoppers but their positioning and ability to deal with the all-round game is suspect... They just need time... no doubt in 5 years time they will both be excellent keepers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
