Derbados Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 In the sense that I think he has been signed as our no.1 RB for next season and Freeman will be battling him as cover. In Macs own words "he needs development", the Cov fans all seem to agree that he's good going forward but is caught out at the back a lot.Wisdom was the polar opposite, solid at the back not so hot going forward, If we're going for automatic promotion this season can we really afford to be throwing silly points away by individuals making mistakes by being caught out at the back? I think he's a good player don't get me wrong and he may turn out to be a revalation but my gut feeling is that the lad will need some coaching and we could see a few silly goals leaked in down that right hand side early in the season, which in the long run could cost us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Steve and the staff can make him better. He is a young player going forward. He will keep developing for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randombc Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 McClaren has got a few weeks to work on him before the beginning of the season. Be interesting to see whether we let Freeman go and if we do will we bring in a 'stronger' right back and have Christie for back up or will Freeman and Christie be the two players going for the RB position.

AndyinLiverpool Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 All these experts. I've never seen him play and unless we have some Coventry fans on here, nobody else has seen much of him either. Give the lad a chance and give him the space to grow into the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Derbados have every right to be concerned and express his concerns about Christie's defending. That's why the forum exist. To create something to discuss. Give the guy some slack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbados Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 I think I've hit a nerve on this one! we are going for top 6/ top two this season I assume yes? and we have just lost a premier league RB who was let's face it quality, so then how dare I question the reliability of a league one RB who in our own managers words "needs development" who is now expected to come in and defend to a level that will gain us a top two spot Naughty Derbados Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Steve McClaren now thinks that Freeman is ready to make the step up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Building a young team that can take on the Premier League is what our aim should be, and Christie fits that bill and has been a long term target at a good price.The key for the club now is to not completely break the club financially, but rather to keep doing what we've been doing right. I'll trust the club on this one and if they think Christie is ready to be first choice, then I'm sure he'll be ready to be first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L_J_DCFC Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Coventry did not really have a recognised defence. Players playing all over the shop. Christie also mentioned that Keogh talked him through games and helped his development the season they got relegated. Can play CB as well. Was man of the match Vs Derby in the first game against Coventry that season. Coventry play a very attack minded game which means that he goes forward all the time. Going forward 24/7. We are very reserved in our build up and like to keep the ball rather than bomb forward, therefore he will not get caught up the field as much as he was at Coventry. Forsyth was bang average when he arrived last summer. Steve made him one of the best LB in Championship. Truly believe the same will happen with Christie.
