On the flip side you have to factor in squad unrest and whether having have a third player for a position is an effective use of wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 It's not so much then number of strikers at the club as the number who expect to at least make the bench. The sensible thing to do last Saturday would have been to stand down one of the strikers for Hanson or Elsnik. But hard from a man management point of view. I would have dropped Bent - least likely to have any future at the club beyond this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody will pay what they're currently on. The only way we will move them is on loan with us still paying a percentage of their wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Not enough people who actually strike as in score goals in reality. we do not really need Wilson or Bent to be honest as they will certainly block opportunities for the likes of vernam and Bennet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninos Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 We have the leagues largest but most wasteful group of strikers. Anya is okay and vydra is a question mark. The rest are all very poor and/or far too inconsistent. It's truly a sad situation that there are so many and yet none good enough to hold their spot. Then you have Abraham at Bristol City ... you only need one dynamic lethal one to make a difference. i also noticed the imbalance on the bench last game. Not good.

We need a link-up winger still. Dawks ? Dawks was a very good servant for the club. Unsure on why people never rated him. Been doing very well in the MLS. Who would you bring in if you were looking for that sort of player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I'd say that we have too many poor forwards on the books that either don't know their best position or are just dreadful entirely. I'd say we actually need another top quality forward in the squad, but we do need to shift some more deadwood first tbf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammie Steve Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I'm not all that impressed with Radio Derby's commentators but when I heard them saying in the last few minutes " Hughes is going off" and "We're changing to 442" I thought it was a valiant attempt to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Why change a formula for the end of a match when we are one goal to the good? Any experienced Rams fan knows that is a sure fire way to drop two points at least. And we,of course, did! It would help if we had any strikers who did what they are paid to do. Or am I missing summat as usual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are arguably in the same situation as when Martin got injured because whilst we have plenty of bodies none of them are effective link up players. And regarding Thorne we were just plain unlucky to have all three specialist DMs get injured. Maybe it not just bad luck ,, could it be that the way we play puts so much pressure on our defensive midfielder that they are physically under far more stress than the rest and are having to jump into far more 50/ 50 balls ,, may be way off but it's a thought ,, maybe even with the holding midfielder in front of back four we still need to be working on keeping better shape and still have a bit more steel in there ,,, is our defensive mid ( Thorne ) having to win the midfield battle single handedly whilst the other two are virtually forwards?

archied Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 On the point above I would really look at setting us up 4/2/3 /1 , seems a lot of teams do this ,, with injuries I would look at . Carson . Christie. Keough. Shackell. Lowe . Thorne. Hanson/ Johnson? Hughes. Ince. Anya . Vydra for me better balanced side with steel at the back , creativity and pace , then when you look at the bench we could put out as cover or to change things up mid game ,,,, for me it's the way forward ,if we learn to play that shape in training then it's far easier to drop a defensive midfielder in with a partner beside him than to put someone in to do the vital Thorne role when it's not their position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
