jagerbob Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I remember after seeing Hansons first few games at the beginning of the season thinking, If hanson is best we have in the academy, things dont look too good. I also remember thinking, does he look better than lets say Hughes or hendrick did after a couple of appearences? Again probably not, But I also remember thinking he might not ever be given the chances they had. At least under PC and all this investment in players, its a different situation completely to when Nigel was in charge and playing hendrick first then hughes later left Clough with not much choice. Looks like under Wassall he will be given a chance, but jury is very much out on him for me. if people really do rate him over Johnson who has been a class player for years including a POY winner with 15 goals from midfield in a promotion team, then I guess I will never convince anyone of anything. Lets not forget the midfield of Thorne + hendrick + hanson early season looked awful with the Leeds defeat. As soon as Johnson and Butterfield came to the club we went on an amazing run. id be much happier if derby had a beast of an academy player who could play central defender or the defensive midfield role, and who was in the team to stop the opposition. A player like Miles Addison had the mobility and passing range of a donkey, but given the way Wolves and Huddersfield play right through our midfield, then that this the sort of player I think we need right now. At least until Thorne gets some match fitness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Bringing through young players is always tricky - how many for how much how often, how will they affect the team, how it will affect the player and so on. I like him, he's pulling his weight in the team even if he's still green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramcoteRam84 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Agree Hanson needs games to learn so should be around the squad and involved. He is the future and is the Derby way (it's great he's actually a derby lad). I think if we still have promotion aspirations, we need to get Thorne fit and in form. Thorne needs games and I think he will play better with Jeff and Bryson alongside, running into space and giving him passing opportunities unlike Johnson and Butterfield who played on top of him under clement. Balance is wrong with those two in there, last 20 mins on Sat was best we've played at home in months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIMBAUD Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I think he's from Burton but I like the look of him. The only way we will know if he's good enough is for him to get games at first team level. That could be with us or on loan but now is the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 He used to score shedloads of freekicks for the U21s. Will he get the chance to take them around the opposition box for the first team? Now that would be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His set-pieces on Saturday were excellent too, none one of this floaty nonsense - he drills them in properly. He's just one of those players I instantly warm to. Not afraid of a challenge and always getting his head up, looking for a pass. There's a very good player in there with the right coaching. Heard some say they don't think he's a CDM, but I wonder how he compares to Eustace at the same age... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he misses the creativity, no, artistry that John Eustace brought to the role Eustace owned that role, the very basics of it are to defend and then distribute, it's a role all about doing the basics very, very well.

Curtains Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 So a midfield of Bryson , Butterfield and Hanson. Do I not like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagerbob Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Everyone hates me for loving Bradley johnson, but he is a beast and something that is needed in a team of non physical lightweights. 11 corners tonight, and nothing! they had one freekick from a cross, goal. In both boxes Johnson is good from set pieces, and hes on the frickin bench!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
