Sith Happens Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Listening to the texts and calls last night on my way home, im thinking how can people have so many different opinions. One person had called in and said Blackman was a constant threat and offered far more than ince. Ok, i know ince hasnt been at his best, but what is it about blackman im not seeing? He really doesnt seem to have improved the team, the position he is playing for me hes not as good as russell or weimman. He might well be out of position, but thats not the point, you can only judge on what you see. I'd love someone to be able to point out im wrong, and give good examples of just why hes better that what we already had, but im just not seeing it.

Day Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Blackman is one signing I'm really struggling with, playing him out wide left as a left footer is great if you have bodies in the box to send crosses into, we don't as we have no midfield runners and Martin is too deep. Stick Bryson in the team making those runs getting on the end of the balls I could understand. Last night he came inside and we saw his weaker foot take a shot into row Q in the NE corner. He's sees himself as a central player, naturally he will want to drift inside but will always struggle on his weaker foot. If we're not playing him central it has to be Ince, Blackman, Camara, Russell on the right or Weimann left. We're not a crossing side, wide players need to be drifting inside on their stronger foots. I should also point out I have zero football coaching badges but to me that just makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Capp Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I wouldn't have said a constant threat but I think he's a step up from Russell and Weimann. It's not easy for a forward to come into a side that's bang out of confidence though so I think we'll need to see us get back to some form before we get to see the best of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsdubs Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Guy has joined a team bang out of form, when we start getting the confidence back and playing well I'll make a full judgement. Unfair to say anything right now, hardly like our seasoned top players are doing much is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree about Blackman - I think he will turn out to be a decent acquisition. However, as with Weimann and Russell, being played out wide doesn't come natural to them and therefore we won't see their true value to the squad. In the limited game time Blackmans' had in comparison to Russell and Weimann,ci don't think he's any worse to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtains Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Blackman was Derbys best player last night he really took it too them and Derby did well overall IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Blackman could easily have had two goals last night. He was completely unmarked for a free header in the first half and he should have hit the target with his effort in the second. I'm not too bothered about him not scoring - its more important that he keeps getting himself in good positions. the goals will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he should have passed it to Ince who was in a better position and would have been on his stronger foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 He did OK last night and seems on a par with the rest of the squad rather than a step up, but then it's been said he's no wide man and he's come into a team that's not really at it. Are all our wingers hoping Martin goes so they get a chance in the middle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People with coaching badges of the highest quality brought Conner Sammon for a premier league team and and others thought he might be a prospect at International level... You carry on mate..

There were a couple of occasions where he had chance to pass/cross but decided he was going to try to take on the defender. The header though probably would have been a goal against most of the keepers in our division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Blackman is a talented footballer, which is what I initially look for, now it's about getting the best out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Looks neat and tidy, expected him to be faster and stronger though....also not seen him beat a player yet. Suppose you have to give him time to settle in, but initial thoughts are bog standard Championship player who's know better than what we've already got. I personally wouldn't of signed him, but that's probably why I'm not anything to do with proessional football ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
