Day Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Is he missing Nigel or doesn't he like the Wonderwall song? Contract up this season but we have a year option, anyone be sad if we said goodbye in the summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-JW- Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 His days are numbered. Maybe he will go back to Sheff Utd? Wouldn't bother me if he did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
networker1884 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Can't understand what McClaren sees in him. He's not a team player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Wasn't just about today, it's been in the air for a while and as it's January, transfers are discussed, Premier League plans are hatched... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 We play better without him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StockholmRam Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I guess we need a scapegoat. Quite unfair comment Eddie. Anyone who watches Derby can see he is not playing well. He has skill and talent to burn but for whatever reason ( my guess is temprement) its is not coming through anything like as much as we require. He has the talent required to play in the top flight of English football when on top form so it begs the question why st 27 years old he has spent his career not playing up there. For a team that plays 4-3-3 it needs players who will track back, bust a gut, then get forward, then back again and run, work their backsides off. Ball retention is key. He didnt do much of that today. And quite frankly his idea of defence is to extrsct revenge for some earlier punished or unpunished misdemeanour by the opposition and plunge us back into defence. Selfish. Sell him now. Call Nigel. They get on well. If as reported Bamford is coming then he wont get picked anyway. Throw another strop, be in a bad mood around the place. Not what we need.

RamNut Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 He takes people on. he will lose the ball sometimes but he never hides. Get off his back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djm1zw1z Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 He is lazy though. In a different world at times. Dawkins is much better in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobram Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 poor this is. His gone from being our most important player to 'get rid of him'. His forms dipped yes but everyones form (apart from Bryson and Bucko) dips. Put him on the bench for a few games then when he comes back he will be as good as he has been.

ramtique Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Always worries me that he's going to get sent off! Rest him for 2 or 3 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I sometimes get annoyed when we're trying to settle and he attempts one of his runs and ambitious shots and it just hands the ball back to the keeper. Him and Dawkins frustrate me with their shooting. Ward's set pieces are ***** too Doesn't seem like long ago he was our only method of attacking. He's not as key as he once was would you really want to see him playing against you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duracell Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 He's frustrating, yes, but I wouldn't be in a hurry to sell him. He's a great option to have and every now and again, he produces something special. He's a great tool for winding the opposition up too - other than Chris Martin, we have no players like that. I would take a decent offer though. He does have his drawbacks and players like him are easily replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L_J_DCFC Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Agree with Boycie. Think he plays better when he is the star and is guaranteed a place in the starting 11 like he was in the 2011/12 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
