Ramarena Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Just going to put this out there after the Cisse non renewal. Could Bucko play CDM. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I'd be prepared to try him out, but I'd be concerned about his mobility and reaction speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewetube Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I could see his worth in a 4 man midfield. I'm not too sure about a 3 man midfield though I think he'd be found lacking. I think with our system we'd need more of a specialist CDM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 If we're going to try alternative defensive midfielders I would think either Keane or Keogh be better equipped than Buxton. However I think it's a specialist position and if Eustace isn't available and we can't sign another I would give Bailey a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcsilks Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Why on earth would you suggest playing Buxton, a player who can barely pick a pass from 2 yards in a midfield position?! Now here's a thought. If we don't have a capable CDM then why not play a system that doesn't require one. Rather that than trying to put the proverbial 'square peg in a round hole'. Keep it simple. Play the players you have in their favoured positions. That way you get the best out of your playing staff. Jamie Ward is a classic example as is Hendrick. Play them out of position and you won't see them at their best. Maybe Russell is another example. His preferred role is up top yet we play him on the wing.

DcFc Dyycheee Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Just had a thought, could we possibly play Saul Deeney up front for the game against Brighton? reckon he could do a job there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sarcasm detector isn't on so I'll assume that it'd go off the gauge if I activated it. We do need a CDM. Hughes and Bryson are clearly at their best/most comfortable/most effective going forward, meaning we need discipline somewhere in the middle. I think the original idea is good, Buxton could hold his own in that role but he's desperately needed at CB. Often wondered whether Sammon could play that role. I know it sounds stupid - it probably is. But he's fit, could go for 90 minutes, and is a pain in the arse for the opposition. I reckon he'd do a good job of breaking up the play. Like a white, Irish Darryl Powell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit that thought had crossed my mind. I wondered if Festa would have had quite as much joy if Connor had been throwing his weight around in midfield. (obviously I didn't mention it for fear of being ridiculed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddesdenRam Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Bucko in CDM I don't know i think he would be that good Barcelona would put a bid in to replace Busquets, best just leave him at CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Since when do centre backs need time on the ball to be effective? tackle, boot it up field and hope it doesn't come back for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 This has to be the silliest thread of the week!!! I love Sir Jake, I love his enthusiasm, I love the way he's improved beyond every measure since he first came here, I love that he realises how fortunate he is and I love the fact he calls his own Dad a Red Dog. However he isn't and never will be a central midfielder, defensive or otherwise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahahaha, I think I just did a little wee I laughed so hard. Anyway, I've rumbled you. You've not seen Derby play since the 50s, but still have an opinion, you're the bloke that rings in....

Not really the same considering CB & CF share a lot of the same traits, especially when a team plays the hoofball style employed by Davros...
