Day Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 For a start personally I won't reply to any replies that contain your opinion is tosh as you don't go or you just hate Savage, it's pointless and doesn't offer anything to the discussion at all and has been done across several threads already today. Do I think Savage can do a job for Derby County? Yes I do Do I think Savage should start every game? No I don't Do I like Savage as a person? Yes I do Do I have a problem with Savage's from his Leicester days? No I don't Do I think he talks too much in the media? Yes I do Like it or not banter aside Savages legs have gone, anyone who wants to argue that point can I just say Savage has said this twice now, once on Soccer AM and another time on Ramsplayer interviews. At 35 years old we cannot expect him to be playing a game on Saturday followed by a midweek game and Saturday again, his legs won't let him do it, it's physically impossible for him. Once Addison and Green are back fit I would like to see that partnership in the centre for us, Addison would offer the steel in the centre breaking up play and protecting the defence and allow Green to push forward. Where does this leave Savage? Savage I believe can play an important role or us coming off the bench in place of a defender which would allow Addison to get forward in set pieces and Savage to sit back and ping balls back into the box when we need to find a winning goal or rescue a point. With a fully fit squad I would propose having this lineup...

Boycie Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 What's your problem with him doing a decent job every game. If the gaffa thinks he's not doing it, he'll be off. Just like Commons was at in all places the City Ground. Imagine the shame that Commons felt in front of the baying "Judas" shouting red dogs. In other words, I trust the managers judgement on Sava.

Day Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 I think it's more a case of what other options do we have at the moment Boycie, Livermore Hendrie? I would like to see us dominate games in the centre of the park which we are not doing, I'm fed up with seeing Livermore's stray passing and Savage trying to do to much and allowing balls to go through and putting pressure on the defence. He runs around thinking he's 16 again and often chasing shadows when he should slow down and think more, the effort is great to see but he reminds me of Tito Villa at times.

I think Green should play alongside and he can chase shadows instead because he's younger and fitter (in before Vicky ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Maybe at the moment you have a case. But I think with a fully fit team to pick from, he will still start. Clough sub'd him on sat right? He must have thought he was tiring then, or the game was won and he wanted to give the boy mendy a run out in front of a large crowd. Sav or Hendry? Sav for me, if only for the Sava factor.

Day Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 Hendry? Colin retired years ago Boycie and he was a centre back. Savage and Hendrie are totally different players which is why I think he has no other option at the moment. The only player that I can see doing the same job (and better) is Addison, it's a position if funds allow we should be looking to fill in January if not the summer. We need a Roy Keane, Patrick Vieira style player in the centre, for me that player is a priority for this team to move forward and get the best out of it.
