AmericanRam Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Does everyone agree this is the best depth we have had in our squad for a long time? Just in the midfield alone with Hughes,Bryson,Eustace,Omar,Hendrick,and Thorne when he comes back. Roos looks to be a pretty good backup to Grant,and other areas are pretty well stacked also.I cannot think of another team in the Championship that even comes close to the overall quality depth that we have. Onwards and upwards. Thoughts about the depth of this squad versus past Derby squads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 We have no decent cover for Chris Martin, otherwise I'm happy with the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I cannot think of another team in the Championship that even comes close to the overall quality depth that we have. Norwich? They could put two sides out in this league. Both of which would be top 6. So yeah I'd say they come close... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Yeah, probably Norwich. Clearly not Forest though. A couple of injuries is usually all it takes to completely derail their entire campaign. Apparently.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Yeah, probably Norwich. Clearly not Forest though. A couple of injuries is usually all it takes to completely derail their entire campaign. Apparently.... In certain positions we have great depth. Defence for example but an injury to Reid and Assombalonga and we'd struggle. So we're the same as pretty much any other team in the league that's not had parachute payments recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Martin is our most-obvious area of weakness. Evident last year when he was absent after getting sent of against Burnley. After that it's probably LB. Naylor, really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papahet Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 If Martin got injured/suspension we'd struggle IMO with Best filling in. He hardly took his chance against Reading, he didn't look like scoring and can't help but think he's abit of a Sammon mark II - Sammons scored this season too! Maybe a loan in the mold of Wilson or Campbell, other than that I'm confident we have the depth required if injuries prevail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Team vs Leeds 5/10/14 Derby County: Grant (GK), Smith, Keogh, Whitbread, Forsyth, Eustace, Bryson, Hughes, Russell, Martin, Ward. Subs: Deeney (GK), Jacobs, Davies, Freeman, Sammon, Bennett, Buxton. Team largely unchanged, bench unrecognisable in quality. Bucko aside, not one of them would get a sniff now.

RebelScum Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Since the Jim Smith era I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 still think we need a sub lb and a fast pacy striker if martin gets injured, although russell could play there as he did for dundee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
