I'd say Russell despite being about 3 inches shorter is far better than Bent in the air. Johnson's probably better as well. Haven't seen enough of Vydra or Wilson, but I suspect they're better than Bent in the air as well. Your old nemisis Martin was better in the air than him.

Was a loose term given the team I had put up and the only other better were the two centre halves.I will give you Johnson is if playing but from a standing jump only Bent in a attacking position.

Other than that, don't necessarily disagree with what you've written. Problem is though, given service comes from the midfield and our midfield hasn't really changed, think little will change with Bent. No it has not changed apart from Jeff leaving it is roughly the same has when he scored ten in fifteen appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Darren had a good start at Derby - but in the last 35 competitive games, he's scored 4 goals. This season, in total, he's had only 4 touches... 3 of which were offside. OK I made up the second stat but it can't be far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vydra Anya Bent Think he will want Wilson and Russell on the bench because Vydra and Anya lack game time so he can change pace with pace.Think Bent will start has Pearson likes him and he gives a aerial threat nobody else does...really do not get the negativity towards him,sure he will get caught offside apparently Vydra does too according to Watford fans that is the nature of playing off the last defender.His goal record is one in three at Derby and a lot of those appearance s are of the bench for a few minutes so give him the right service and you get a return. Think your spot on with the bent thing as I think Pearson will want the option of pace getting the by line and putting in crosses and bent can get his head on things ,, that's a pretty good team on paper and if if he could get them all doing their jobs in it and working as a unit it could be very attractive and exciting to watch nice to be looking forward to team selections again with the thought it may change the way we play hopefully ,,,,,, for a long time we have put different teams out only to see no difference when we not playing well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroyDyer Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Not a ball winner among them. It dumbfounds me that managers at this level, think they can win matches if they don't have the football. Unless we get an early goal today, I fear the worst.

Carl Sagan Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 The teams are pretty much symmetrical as 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1. Always rated Shelvey. Hope Craig and Will rise to the challege in the battle for the midfield: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
