Ghost of Clough Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 No surprise here as he doesn't pick a single Derby player.

Carnero Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Cotterill over Judge/Ince? Elmohammady over Lowton/N'Sue? No wonder he's on the managerial scrapheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Why is it a surprise? Not like we've had any consistent standout players throughout the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 To be fair he has probably seen a lot more of players than we have. No complaints over no Derby players. Only surprises are Cotterill over Judge and no Clayton for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistoldPete2 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 And he only mentions one Derby player as a candidate . Doesnt mention Chris Martin. No wonder holloway's out of work. TBF we havent had anyone who has been that consistent and its hard to argue with having Gray up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram1964 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 In fairness and as much as i think hollaway is a plonker,who in the squad should be there? Carson and perhaps Keogh would have been contenders but cant honestly say any single player throughout the season has consistently performed to a level befitting a mention of this mickey mouse analysis.

Curtains Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Andre Gray . Can we stop him in the playoffs. Burnley could still be in playoffs yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_dcfc Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Odubajo has started nearly every Hull game at RB, so Elmohamaday is an odd pick. Not having Judge in is ridiculous, been better than both those wingers. I can't think of too many of our players who could be close to being picked, Shackell for his first half of the season and Ince for his goals and assists maybe, but think Shackell's form dropped too much and Ince's performances, apart from the last month, have generally been poor.

Inglorius Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I agree no surprises he hasn't picked any Derby players none of our team have performed consistently to their potential over the course of the season says more about our players then then the opinion of Mr Holloway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GboroRam Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 He wouldn't have picked any last season when we were playing well. No chance this season when for large parts we haven't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTedd Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Shows how injuries have effected us though. For example, if Fozzy had been fit, might he have been a contender? If Bryso had played all season, might he? He's been great since he came back, but quarter of a season won't be enough to get you in a team of the season.

Ghost of Clough Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Just for a comparison I looked at the whoscored team which is actually very surprising. (4-4-2) de Vries (Forest) Onuoha (QPR), Davies (Hull), Duffy (Blackburn), Friend (Boro) Gallagher (Preston), Stephens (Brighton), Norwood (Reading), Judge (Brentford) Forestieri (Sheffield Weds), Vokes (Burnley) How many of those would have considered as being almost the best reformers this season?

De Vries must get in because hes been so busy all season. Davies didnt look too clever against the Rams. Vokes over Gray? Hmm.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness to Holloway he watches a lot of championship football from all the teams, so its nice to see a team thats not just a burnley and boro XI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagerbob Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Big squads are only good if: a) you are getting injuries and suspensions b) you are are a top team going for multiple trophies, perhaps with a european campaign for squad rotation reasons. So Derby with their two managers this season and two systems, means different players have played well at different parts of the season under a certain manager / system.

cannable Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 @11carl00 The team of the week/season/months are updated either on the Monday or after the final game of the round of fixtures... so when it updates Geeeeeeeeeeooooooooooorge will take Dale Stephens' place in the team as he now has a higher average rating. Just to get that out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
