Shang Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Six months! Feel sorry for the guy. It looked like this was going to be his season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashz09 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Thorne last season now Hughes... We don't have much luck do we! Luckily IMO we have a good replacement in Dawkins/Hendrick/Bryson(Maybe due to injury also). We'll miss him like Rammage says as he's the one with the key to unlock defences.

SaintRam Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 ACL injury, not as severe as Thorne's. Should see him back this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptherams Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Thank god it's only 6. Hopefully back for the final 10-15 games. That final drive for automatics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashz09 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Time for Dawkins I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Time for Dawkins I think.If Dawkins plays as he can our midfield will still be good enough to control games, just not quite as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouRams Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Why are Derby so unlucky gutted for the lad, looked decent pre season a huge loss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptherams Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 If Dawkins is expected to play a CM role then there is no doubt we are going to bring in another forward. Personally I expect this to be our prominent formation/line up with the players we have. Carson Baird Keogh Shackell Forsyth Thorne Hanson Ince Weimann Russell Martin Even with this I expect us to get another forward. It will also be interesting to see if at some point PC decides to give opportunities to more of the U21 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDeadlySaul Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Exactly my line up except Dawkins for Hanson.I think Dawkins would benefit higher up the pitch and having Hanson in that holding role will help out the defence a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier ram Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 gutted about the injury for hughes , but injuries are part and parcel of the game and this will mean somebody either in the club or a new signing needs to step up to the plate .We still have enough quality to reach the premier league and i for one would love to see dawks come in and prove a few people wrong ; the guy is a talented footballer and he deserves a break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptherams Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I think Dawkins would benefit higher up the pitch and having Hanson in that holding role will help out the defence a lot. Yes. Plus Hanson is a set piece specialist. Hanson would help us defend better (concede less) and could easily score and assist more than if Dawkins because of his set pieces. Would also allow Thorne to at times take up an advanced role in the final third, keeping up the pressure on an attack. In a position which he can shoot, will shoot and will score goals.

I don't think Hanson's better than Ince at set pieces. As long as Ince doesn't have too many Bolton-esque off days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great for Hanson to get a run in the team, it could be the making of him. It could strangely turn Will's injury in to a bit of a positive, in that we get Hanson the experience he craves for. Would also mean we have a worthy back up to Thorne in case he gets injured again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesterRam Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 not ideal start to the season but we have other players that can step up to the plate, i'll miss his beaconesque hair zipping around the last third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would also mean we have a worthy back up to Thorne in case he gets injured again.His injury will also be the making of him. In particular he has time in which he can focus on building his upper body strength. He is a bright lad. He knows his weaknesses and I don't doubt for one second that he won't take this opportunity to focus on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posh Ram Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Actually sort of relieved, thought it would be a whole year.Dawkins should play in that role imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
