RoyMac5 Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 From DET. Rowett on Winnall: He plays the game in a hungry way and is desperate to do well. He made a difference when he came on. (against Birmingham). He is certainly in the reckoning to start a game this week. Only in the reckoning, how hungry do you have to be?!

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I think there are a few players that are desperate to do well and work hard, the problem is that sometimes the hungriest players aren't technically the best. For example, Russell is what I would call a 'hungry' player but he is massively inferior to the likes of Huddlestone (who plays the game at his own glacial pace at times) in a technical capacity. Another example is Martin, he never looked like he was desperate to win the ball back or make gut busting runs for the team in the same way Nugent does, but he scored 60 odd goals in three seasons in his glory days all the same. Hunger doesn't guarantee quality, but it helps. If Winnall is as good as we think he might be and as hungry as he looks then he could be a gem for us this season.

WestKentRam Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 In Saturday's programme Rowett said Ledley 'will add a real bite to what we have already got'. I assume Ledley must be hungry then. Let's hope he tucks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestKentRam Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Blimey. Just made it to the end of Saturday's programme and reading the back page is making me feel peckish. The article is titled 'Ledley 'Hungry' To Get Stuck Into Rams Challenge'. 'I've got that hunger back and I have always been a hungry player'. Ledley then calls Rowett hungry and this is why he wanted to come to Derby. I think this is all subliminal advertising for The Yard restaurant. £17.95 for adult and child Sunday roast. Rowett could take his young son Ledley along. Hopefully it's an all you can eat buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Championship terms I think somewhere between £10k to £20k per week wages you move from being hungry to feeling reasonably full and content. It seems if you are on £20k plus you are gorged and in need of putting your feet up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was you referring to Bent 5years on the bench at his last two clubs never looks hungry to me But with friends like Rush why should he be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagerbob Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Against Brum, it was noticeable to me how Hungry (if that is even the word) Wynall was. I'd even throw Lawrence into the same category. Both want to get stuck in, and make things happen in their own way, and its about a young player wanting to prove himself. In 2014 we had too many young players if anything, now it seems aside from these two, we went for yet more experience in Hudds Davies, and Martin coming back, and really what we need is youth to get stuck in and make things happen.

Keogh - Easiest answer ever - Has been the most passionate and driven player we've had over the course of a few years now I think it's a difficult one to quantify though as players styles differ - I actually think Martin is one of the most passionate guys in the squad about playing football - He's always angry about not getting the ball, always wants to get the pass, constantly moaning that he's not getting the ball enough - I know (some) people question his work ethic and quality but I don't think you can question his desire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
