Derbyram1983 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Thornes got to get fit yet. Could be months. As he's been out so long he'll get niggles. When Thorne is fit he'll only replace Johnson if he hits bad form.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a fantastic player on his day but upsetting the applecart to shoehorn him into the team could have catastrophic consequences. Good god. Thorne healthy is without a shadow of a doubt our best player (alongside hughes) and arguably the best player in the division. How quick we forget. I'm all for his shoe horn in the applecart.

The key point being a 'healthy George Thorne'. I've not forgotten anything thank you, he's a fantastic talent but looked cumbersome last time after returning from injury. If you think dropping in form players is a good idea then you are welcome to that opinion. In my opinion, unless it's going to have a major major effect on the team, it's not something worth doing. Bringing Thorne back would mean an instant change to how we are currently playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimmu Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I'm extremely glad we have excellent ball playing bulldozer in our midfield. I just love to watch young boy Hughes playing and bullying bigger players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Consistently becoming one of the key parts of our team, another commanding performance- broke up play so so well throughout, started off so many of our attacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I think as a 3 they've been excellent. Over the run they've all had games to shine and games where they've just been steadily reliable. Their defensive organisation is superb. No headless chicken impressions except when the opposition is turned around. And Johnson makes it very difficult to get a run at Pearce and Keogh.

RamLad1884 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Was brilliant today, in a game where Birmingham tried to bully us out of the game big bad johnson put his arm round the lads and shielded each and every one of them. The passion him,Pearce and Keogh are showing is an amazing sight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think we have had anyone since Seth so committed in the middle; more vision with it too. 1 hour ago, jagerbob said: Thorne wouldnt get a game in this team. Dunno, probably end up at full back at this rate! Know what you mean though, take more than 1 iffy game to shift Brad in my mind. Gives George plenty of time to get fit, this time with no pressure to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbyram1983 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Immense today. A few great tackles today as well as everything else. If George Thorne was fit he'd be on the bench. It's not the George Thorne role now it's the bradley Johnson role. Thorne will have to work hard to win it back and this is great for the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mos_Ram Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Bladders' turnaround, along with the emergence of Igor Pearce has been the best thing so far about this season. I cant help feeling embarrassed for the fans who were booing him off the park 6 months ago, especially when most of the stadium, including said idiotic fans are chanting his name. I sit in the West Upper, where people are generally not happy if they aren't moaning and I nearly came to blows with a couple of youngish lads who were booing him off so vitriolically not so long ago - they are the same pissy-faced lads who are the only three in a row of 60 that refuse to engage with the flags. In fact, if they fell face first into a barrel full of nipples, I don't think they'd be happy unless they came up sucking their thumb. I didn't boo Bradley then, and I won't boo the next scapegoat. You never know what they might end up contributing. UTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottsRam77 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 He was immense today, was certainly a game for him and fair play to him he shone. iv never booed him or any other player, it's pointless and no one wins but I'll be the first to admit that I certainly thought his days were numbered here and that it was basically 6m down the kurmit. But hats off to him and to mclaren, he's been a breath of fresh air and has given us something I haven't seen us have at this level since the days of Robbie van de laan, which is someone who when the games gets fierce and tough and the tackles start flying in just roles his sleeves up and says 'bring it on' Without getting ahead of myself (oh sod it let's dream) it's that sort metal that gets u out of this league, aka Burnley. who knows if mclaren can turn Blackman into a similar success I might start calling him 'the great one' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistoldPete2 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 We hardly looked like conceding a goal, but could have had more with better quality up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Dastard Lee Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 When we were down to 10 men for a minute two he had to fall back to cover and as he was out of position Birmingham broke through the middle and won a corner. That was the only time in the game that they got through the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
