Srg Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 So with reasonable possibility of Bryson leaving (I'd rather him not but this thread is not the place for that), it seems as if Jeff Hendrick will be the main man next season alongside young William (should he stay too...) Personally, I feel there is no reason we can't expect a similar goal outlay from him that Bryson. He has a better long range shot on him that Bryson, and arrives late in much the same fashion. It's something he's clearly been working on - and we started to see the results with the goals he scored in last month of the season. I don't believe it will be a like for like comparison, as should we sign some of the players rumoured such as Jutkiewicz, we may well see a slightly different role there in midfield. However, Hendrick has some great attributes. He's got height, strength and athleticism. He's probably quicker than Bryson too, if not quite as good on the stamina front. He would have some big shoes to fill, but no reason why he couldn't. Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/15405-jeff-hendrick/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
catinthehat Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 After last seasons experience. I think Hendricks development will come on no end this year. Hopefully overall fitness is something he will work on in pre-season. If he can get into the gaps like Bryson did/does, then he could be our star player. He has the hair for it.

ChaddesdenRam Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hughes and Hendrick with Thorne behind would still be the envy of the league if Bryson went. Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/15405-jeff-hendrick/#findComment-629580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsy Ram Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hughes and Hendrick with Thorne behind would still be the envy of the league if Bryson went. Those three have the potential ability to star in the Prem. Let's hope we keep them (assuming Thorne is a Ram) and they reach their potential. Those three are made for each other and this system.

cannable Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Over the last two seasons, whenever Hendrick's got a goal it sparks a run. If he were to take Bryson's place I would have every confidence in Jeff that he would reach double figures, at the very least.

Cam the Ram Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Only worry I'd have is the lack of experience in the 3 man midfield, Hendrick (22), Thorne (21) and Hughes (19). And if Hendrick or Hughes were to get injured/suspended their replacement would be either Coutts (Not played CM for quite a while) or Bunjaku (Don't think he's played a senior game in his career) Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/15405-jeff-hendrick/#findComment-629584 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grantona Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hendrick is better than Bryson - we won't miss him as much as we would miss Hughes or Thorne. Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/15405-jeff-hendrick/#findComment-629594 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddesdenRam Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hendrick is not better than Bryson, Hendrick has more potential but Bryson is a better player right now. Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/15405-jeff-hendrick/#findComment-629704 Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireRam Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hendrick is not better than Bryson, Hendrick has more potential but Bryson is a better player right now. Towards the last few games of the season, Hendrick outshone Bryson on multiple occasions.

ChaddesdenRam Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Towards the last few games of the season, Hendrick outshone Bryson on multiple occasions. The key part of your sentence there is "few games". Bryson got us to third in the league not Hendrick, I think without him we do have ample replacements but not better.

Bryson did not single-handedly get us to third in the league. The team playing the way we did got us to such a high position, Bryson played well, granted, but I would argue Martin was more pivotal...

Agreed Martin was more important but in my opinion without his 16 goals and loads of assists we would not have made 3rd. As I said if we only had Hughes and Hendrick last season we could have done just as well I just don't think we would have.

Grantona Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Burnley only offered £1.4 million apparently - they'll have to double that I reckon to stand a chance. Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/15405-jeff-hendrick/#findComment-629810 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, no doubt he was an important player but, if he goes, I feel Hendrick will develop into a better player this season probably.

TomBustler1884 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Can we not just be glad we have some top quality players throughout the team and stop arguing over who is better or more important to the team. If Jeff goes, we've got Craig. If Craig goes we've got Jeff. If both go, then we panic!
