MackworthRamIsGod Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Genuine question, when was the last time as a Derby fan you saw one of our players make a crunching tackle on someone, the kind of Seth Johnson crunching tackle that partly made you wince, but mostly made you glow with pride (I may have answered my own question there). I know tackling seems to be a dying art, but often a midfield battle can be won with a very early state of intent. When the opposition were kicking off I would always watch Seth Johnson, as soon as the whistle went he flew at them, it was great to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Ram Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Butterfield v Norwich he got sent off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Eustace and Bucko had their moments but to be fair, there's not many about now at any club. The sort of Seth specials we loved would probably result in straight reds nowadays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North East Ram Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Johnson was frequently getting stuck v the oppo when Clement was here. His best time here. Same for Butterfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Butterfields one was a prime example of the problem you have these days. Sometimes you really want one of your players to put a crunching tackle on, but these days there's a good chance you'll see a red card even if you take the ball cleanly. A different ref could have easily sent Hanson off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby blood Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I can remember Seth Johnson doing a few crunching tackles, oh to have a Seth in our team now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve How Hard? Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 George Williams excelled in the crunching tackles stakes. He would be a mighty fine addition to our modern day midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
