DarkFruitsRam7 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I really don't see why people are so negative about him. He wasn't spectacular but he didn't play badly in any of his appearances and was brought in at a time when we all thought Christie's time at the club was over; remember when everybody was saying that he should start at right back for the first game of the season? I personally wish him well and I'm glad for him, as it means he can get some game time before he represents his country at the Euros. Good luck Chris!

Leicester Ram Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Thought he was pretty decent at RB, but Christie was simply better. Not a big enough physical presence for CDM or a good enough passer to get away with that. Just got sort of pushed out, which is ironic because I'd have absolutely killed for a player like him towards the end of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They unnecessarily brought him in to fill a hole right before they were about to pave the whole road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 The football we used to play (wingers cutting inside to allow for an overlapping fullback) means we need energetic young fullbacks who can get up & down the line all game. I think we have forgotten just how much of our good play came from Fozzy doing this. I think both Baird & Warnock can no longer do this hence they both appear a little ineffective.

Who cares if it was fair. In another thread, @Anon quite rightly accuses some of our players for being whining mardarses who ought to grow a pair. Perhaps the whining mardarses in the East Stand ought to do likewise? He was finished because we booed him? Bunch of girls' blouses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashz09 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I thought he did ok. The problem was Clements tactics was to keep ball and pass it sideways and backwards to retain it. Problem with that is the fans get on the players back. Hense the sign to the crowd he did in retaliation. Think the player and the fans both deserved it.

needles Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Can't recall him ever having a genuinely positive impact on a game in a Derby shirt. "Meh" signing that would sum up the Clement era if only we'd paid £3m for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Decent defender and stand in but clement wanted to start him! To me he slowed everything down and basically killed off attacking intent from wherever he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that was essentially what Clement's tactics were, he wanted slow, methodical play not the banzai approach we took last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Derby Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I quite enjoyed watching Birdy play, however I understand that mine is a minority viewpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loughboroughRAM Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 hardly surprising to see him loaned out. Don't get all the hatred towards him though, was a useful player to cover injuries etc but was evidently never good enough to be a first team starter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamLad1884 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Reading that he seems more interested in coming back and playing for us again next year under a new manager, so it sounds like it's wassalls decision to get rid (not Mel Morris as some on here seem to imply) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 How he was made captain I will never know. That was a mental decision from Clement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
