Gritty Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I don't get why Rowett's priority is tinkering with the defence (Selling Keogh, Buying Davies, Wisdom link etc). Not saying we can't improve defence but we had the 6th best defensive record in the entire Championship last season. Surely the priority is the midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he played at the heart of their defence that didn't concede at pride park in the first leg. Curtis Davies is a decent defender with big game winning experience. Should really have been an FA cup winner too. So long as the fee isn't of a ridiculous nature he would be a good addition. Defenders aren't exciting signings but a solid back four is what most top sides are built on. Especially the middle pairing. If he signs would he be a candidate for captain if we (hopefully not) sell Keogh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are there's nobody on here who really know which players Rowett is looking to move on and bring in - plenty of rumours and at the moment, that's all there are.

archied Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Our defence last season is a strange one to fathom ,,, yes we had 5th 6th ? Best defence in the division but in all fairness last season and for a few seasons, it's perhaps not the number of goals we concede but more the fact that we concede vital ones in terms of seeing games out ? We always seem to go into panic mode and as a fan you just know in your heart we are going to concede that last gasp equaliser or losing goal , we are just so fragile mentally at the back when it really matters , perhaps the qpr loss at Wembley was a sign of just that and it's stayed with us ever since ,, strangely im quite excited by the fact that all the signs at the moment are that rowett wants to address this , yes we can look at the rumours and pull each touted signing apart but it's about rowett building the balance and unit that he wants ,, his defenders / his defence and he will stand or fall by his judgement but as I say I'm not looking at single signings but more the fact that he is trying to change an issue we have had for a long time that has really let us down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than Pearce though ( and that is not being rude to Pearce) seems simple to me - Rowett wants the ball headed away from our goal area especially at corners (Davies can score a few as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimmu Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 If this happens and Keogh stays, it would give us chance to have pretty fast CB pairing. That of course would give us room to manoeuvre tactically. More I think about this, more I wish it would happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
