rynny Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Someone tell rynny you're not allowed multiple accounts I was gonna say that I get fed up of Dawkins and Ward's ambitious shots. Have they not figured out they aren't good at them? But we seem to be doing fine. that wasn't me. Whilst Dawkins has not impressed me as much as he has others, I still think he is valuable to the squad. I think he would be a great impact player (like against Wigan) My starting front 3, from what I have seen, is Ward Martin Russell. Might be harsh on Bamford but I don't think he is suited to the winger role. I am only judging him from the Brighton game and a few times he left Wisdom and then Hendrick with 2 players. But SM might have told him to not worry about defending and to just worry about scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 and...that is one of the worst posts of multiple quoting i've ever seen. Blame Belgium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebelScum Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 If you remember, when we got Ward the Sheff Utd fans said that he would impress at first and then get lazy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 If you remember, when we got Ward the Sheff Utd fans said that he would impress at first and then get lazy... Well he's been impressive for three seasons and unimpressive for 6/7 games, so I'll let him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireRam Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I think Ward is just out of form, if we rest him on Tuesday and even possibly Saturday, I reckon he'll come back and put in better performances to try and hold his place in the starting XI down. Him under-performing could also be due to complacency because he always starts.... Either way, I would start Bamford and Tuesday and (if fit), Russell for Dawkins.

Will was dropped, and it seemed to give him the requisite kick up the backside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I think another factor is that he's got used to playing mainly on the left or in the centre, he seems to be struggling to adjust to spending more time on the right, or with the frequency of switching sides with Dawkins... or something.

knabby crackers Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Sooner have Ward than Dawkins, Trouble with Dawkins , he thinks he can win every game on his own. poor signing ,in my opinion. I concur, according to Radio Derby Ward had a good game [better than recent weeks], he may make mistakes when in defensive areas but at least he puts in an actual effort as opposed to simulated efforts from Dawkins. When in attacking mode he is more likely to pass to a team-mate in a better position than Dawkins whose greedy streak is evident in every game he plays.

McRamFan Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 The thing is this season he's not been out injured for 4-5 games, needs a rest because he has shorter legs and there for has to move them more.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rynny Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I think Ward is still struggling with the knock that he picked up at Bournemouth. He was supposed to be out for 2-3 weeks and only missed the mid-week game and played the following week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is all about opinions and having been watching DCFC since 1946 I think I am entitled to mine, as for rubbish are you an acknowledged expert?

Damned right - I spout more rubbish on here than most. However, you posted your diatribe without the benefit of having watched Dawkins's performance on Saturday. "Every game he plays" you said. Sometimes, a statement like that bites you in the bum. Teethmarks fade though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I watched the second half v blackburn. Although ward was taken off after 64 minutes, i thought he was playing well. He had been booked though. And the change was probably pre-planned. Dawkins seemed to be playing pretty well too. In fact everyone was playing well......including sammon when he came on. We had 62% possession and hughes pulling the strings. There didn't seem to be the physical intimidation characteristic of wigan and the players rediscovered some form. Wupert adds a missing ingredient. The ability to shoot from 25 yards and shoot early in contrast to our tendency to want to walk it in sometimes. Can't we enjoy a win instead of criticising jamie ward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
