He needs to spend this year watching and working closely with Nugent. He should be his role model. Some strikers do come through late. Think of Danny Graham. Totally lost when he played for us in the Championship. Five years later, he's banging in a goal every other game for Watford and gets a big money move to the Premier League. Would never have thought that would happen when I watched him as a 19 year old. I get your point, but for the last 4 seasons Danny Graham has only averaged 7 goals a season, which hardly blows your socks off. But yeah it'd be great if Mason could learn off Nugent. Unfortunately, odds are unless we have a mass clear out across all the forward positions he's not going to get much game time though. We'll see, be great if you're right!

Dordogne_Ram Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Remember his first game at Pride Park, had the easiest chance to become the Rams youngest ever scorer and completely fluffed it. Someone above quoted 3 goals in 63 games, which suggests that the trend has continued. Sorry, needs to move on : speed and believing your own publicity does not make you a good player.

It's ok saying the same thing over and over again but that doesn't necessarily make it right. At least try and back up what you're saying. What has Bennett done that makes him so good and more worthy of a chance than Blackman? Not saying you're wrong, just interested how you reach your conclusion.

B4ev6is Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Masion bennet offer power and pace and knows how to beat a player and shows passion playing for derby. Were nick blackman does not and just cant hit a barn door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But only for a slight millisecond. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power and pace are attributes that GR seems to value, so if he is showing these in training maybe he will get his chance. The only time I ever really remember seeing this was against Chelsea where he gave Cole the run around. As for Blackman not being able to hit a barn door, somebody has already pointed out that Bennett has only hit it twice more than him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did alright with Reading and showed he's more than capable enough of 'hitting a barn door' at this level given a run of games in a system that suits his game. He's been hampered by injuries, in and out of a team when near about everyone was out of form, and has been here under 5 different managers in little over 2 years since he signed.

LeedsCityRam Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Someone else mentioned Dean Sturridge on here & think there's a few parallels with Mason at this point in his career. Like Mason, Sturridge was a quick, bulky striker who had made little impact at Derby by his early twenties (22 at the start of the 1995-96 promotion season) having joined at 18. Partially that may have been because of the quality of Kitson, Johnson & Gabbiadini in front of him throughout the early 90s but under Jim Smith, Sturridge found his feet & then looked unstoppable over the next few years with us. The only difference may be that Mason hasn't yet had a successful loan spell comparable to Sturridge at Torquay but some players are not naturally suited to loan spells - i.e. if they thrive in a stable environment & playing alongside familiar faces rather than getting game time anywhere. Harry Kane was pretty woeful at Leicester for instance. I hope Mason gets plenty of game time this year & preferably a run in the side at some point - would be galling to release him without seeing what he can do, only for him to return to Championship level as a highly rated goalscorer elsewhere.

Let's not take a blip out of context, he scored 18 goals in over 100 games for Reading....that is an awful return and even worse if you look that most of them came in a purple patch.

He has played most of his career as a striker in the lower levels of football (that low that he even went to Jockland for a while) and still only managed 50 odd goals in 10 years..!!
