YorkshireRam Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 That's how mclaren will never be a top manager , it wasn't a normal league game where you go same again ,it was a one off , it was massive for derby county and he made a mistake , no one in their right mind would leave out the player of the year in as big a game as that In many respects it was exactly that situation... the home leg of the Brighton game was, in my opinion, the best football we have played all season, we tore them to shreds. What's more, Hughes and Hendrick were pivotal in that game and were arguably the two most influential players on the pitch. After putting in such an incredible performance, why would McClaren risk disrupting the team? He had Bryson on the bench in case it didn't work. Also, what kind of message does it send to the rest of the squad, especially younger players like Hughes, if they play out of their skin one game and put in a sublime performance, to then be dropped next game... It would be disappointing to say the least. McClaren had to stick with the team he played against Brighton at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynny Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Two questions Valley. I hope you can answer them. 1) Was Craig fit. 2) does he have a clause in his contract allowing him to leave if a club meets the value of hte clause? cheersThey are the Million dollar questions, or 750k, I hope the answers are: not 100% and no he doesn't. Where did this clause rumour come from? Was it Alan Nixon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynny Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Just seen it was in the guardian, right next to Middlesborough want Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink as manager that definitely settles my worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 The difference i noticed at wembley was, hendrick and hughes play in front of their back four whereas bryson keeps popping up in little spaces behind their back four. He was causing them a lot more problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafiabob Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Mafia, you already know that if I'm wrong I'll apologise. I did it once before privately when I got you confused with that **** mcmuffin. I haven't gone looking for the thread and content only goes back so far. If you're telling me categorically that you didn't say I hope he takes them down. I think I'm right but I'm not 100% certain and can't be arsed to go looking. I'll trust you and I'll apologise. Sorry. No need to apologise Ronnie. Just miffed me a bit when I wondered how many of the u21s released would go to Clough seeing as he signed a couple of ex rams there already albeit on loan, just a genuine question. I like your posts Ronnie, you don't come to a quick off the top answer, always considered, even though I don't agree at times. Totally respect your views. Apologies for hi jacking this thread guys and dolls. Regards Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshfieldRam Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Really really hope he doesn't leave, he's almost been a talisman since he joined, key to the way we play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLACML Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 If he does leave (hopefully not), it'll be at least £2million+ so I'd trust Macca to find a quality with that money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucktwo Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Will we have Bryson, Hendrick, Hughes, Eustace, Thorne and the fit again Coutts all playing for 3 places ?? Likely even if Thorne doesnt happen we will sell one to finance elsewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabber Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 The difference i noticed at wembley was, hendrick and hughes play in front of their back four whereas bryson keeps popping up in little spaces behind their back four. He was causing them a lot more problems. Bang on Ramnut. That is also why Martin was so quiet as he links up best when Bryson is putting the defence under more pressure. The don't change a winning team argument doesn't wash with me, Brighton set up way different than QPR and moreso as they were a goal down and had to come and look to attack, giving space for H & H to exploit. QPR set up much more cautiously and we needed Bryson's runs and experience to break that down. MacLaren should have recognised that and for me as soon as I saw Bryson wasn't starting I felt really concerned. Perhaps Bryson was still carrying a knock, but valley stated above he was 100%. In time, H & H will possibly be much better than Bryson, with what about 8 years worth of experience to gain compared to Bryson, but for that crucial game Bryson (if fit) was the better option.

Cam the Ram Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Where's the faith in Rush? He said just a few days ago he has no plans to sell our players and intends to keep them together. Some of you are believing betting odds over Rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLACML Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Well, if it's gone from 16/1 to evens in a day, then clearly someone thinks they know something. Someone backing up their thoughts with money is a much stronger rumour than a random twitter account. If Hughes, Hendrick and Bryson are happy to compete for two places then obviously I'd rather keep them all. If one has to go, then I'd pick Bryson.

K-Ram Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 It doesn't take a lot of money to make a swing. It could be a 100 quid bet thats caused the bookies to evens up. Don't read too much into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richinspain Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 McClaren has stuck by his "rule" of not taking the shirt off somebody if they've earned it all season, regardless of who was waiting to fill it. Against Brighton not one player performed anything less than 100%. They had earned the right to start against QPR. Bryson was rightly made player of the year, and I'm sure that the fact that he had to perform week in and week out because Hendrick or Hughes were waiting on the side line was a major factor in that. He went on the pitch after 68 minutes, if one of the other two hadn't been performing he'd have been introduced earlier. I'm sure that this "rule" has helped a hugh amount towards the team spirit that is perfectly evident during every game, the final included!

May Contain Nuts Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Valleyram showed his true WUM colours a month or so ago, then disappeared for a bit. He didn't pop up after we beat Brighton without Bryson, but once we've lost without Bryson starting... ...lo and behold he's come back to single mindedly blather on about Bryson again, yet you people are still taking his posts seriously. I despair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
