ramsbottom Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Sammon will probably go into the history books as one of our worst ever players. I know if we was to do a worst XI in history now there is a few posters that would put him in. I don't think he's that bad but he really struggles to finish. He's strong, quick and powerful - but anything to do with touching a ball, he struggles. He must be the only player in the game that enjoys having the balls left in the bag at training. I'll give him some credit, his movement and willingness to run the channels is very good. But it's no good getting into good positions if you can't do anything once the ball gets to you...

Hinzy9 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 As part of the terms of the loan deal, Sammon HAS to play in the fixtures against the rams! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 He will bring a lot to the Ipswich team - but not necessarily what you're expecting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanjwitham Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 As part of the terms of the loan deal, Sammon HAS to play in the fixtures against the rams! because we play so well when other teams press our backline aggressively... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I'm not sure we ever played him in his best position. Then again what is his best position? Scum half? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

climbon Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Good luck to him. Seems a nice guy and gives everything for the team. I do feel a move to ipswich to sit on their bench is not great for him. He needs a permanent move to a league 1 side playing 4-4-2, I think he could do a good job there. He's not the worst player ever, he lacks ability but you cannot say he doesn't have heart and effort (there are players who lack both!). Good luck to him!!

Stive Pesley Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 My other fondest Sammon memory it's the 82nd minute - we're 5-0 up against Forest and Martin leaves the pitch to an ovation, replaced by the Fish The crowd are delirious and start singing... "If Sammon scores...we're on the pitch! If Sammon scores...we're on the pitch!" Sadly for everyone, needless to say he doesn't score and we're not on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eccles the ram Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Most Derby fans will not rue the fact that he has gone. His heart is in the right place and I believe he will try his best to win you over with his workrate. Sadly his heading ability, for someone at 6ft 3ins, isnt his strong point. He will get you the odd goal and MM might bring his confidence back up, but I feel he will eventually spend more time coming off the bench than starting games. However good luck to him and your team. You could be one of this season's darkhorse for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 He always gives 110%, he is rarely injured, tired opposition defenders don't relish him coming on with 20 minutes to go, he didn't suit our 433 formation and he has scored the occasional useful goal. He's not as bad as some would have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Ram Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 He gets a lot of bad press to be fair... Totally justified though His best game for us was probably away at Ipswich the season before last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mills_DCFC Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Best Sammon moment for me was the winner at Watford last season. That has to be one of my favourite away days, at the time Watford were a big scalp to take and at the final whistle thats when I thought this could be a really good season!

Ambitious Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Best Sammon moment for me was the winner at Watford last season. I remember the sinking feeling I got when he missed the sitter just before that though, felt like I'd been kicked in the knackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossieram Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 He will work hard and give defenders a tough time, What he has shown here is that he doesn't have the composure or cool head you need in front of goal and his technique is sadly lacking. If he is played up top with a forward that can finish, He will pull defenders out of position to give him more room. I wish him luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Worst footballer (ability wise) I have ever seen. Have you only watched this current first team squad play then? because there have been far, far worse footballers at Derby. Sammon will probably go into the history books as one of our worst ever players. I know if we was to do a worst XI in history now there is a few posters that would put him in. I don't think he's that bad but he really struggles to finish. He's strong, quick and powerful - but anything to do with touching a ball, he struggles. He must be the only player in the game that enjoys having the balls left in the bag at training. Anyone who puts him in our worst ever XI must have blanked out the best part of the last decade and a half. Dean Holdsworth springs to mind without even thinking at all about our worst XI in any great depth. Will never criticise a player who gives his all for us. It is the man who bought him in who is to blame usually however he is a good midtable striker to have in your squad and when he arrived that is all we were. We've moved up a level and he has been unable to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenkinson Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 You just can`t make a better video about Sammon. Absolutely spot on. Conor Sammon skills: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Yeah, I hold no hard feelings with Conor Sammon because he gave it everything. Maybe in a different system at a different club, different manager and different players, he could be different too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 He's like a big lovable labrador. He will run and run with his tongue out, but in terms of finesse forget it. Good gun dog but don't give him the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
