Waffle Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 It seems not that long ago that many on here had written him off. I think if we continue to get behind him the way we have been this season, he'll be an extremely important player for us in the next few years. Cheers Mr. Pearson for the one positive thing you did here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Appreciation thread? Wait a minute. Are we talking about the same guy who wasn't fit to wear a Derby shirt ever again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky1884 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Joke of a player who can't score in the first 23 seconds. We should have signed anyone else who is banging goals in for fun at their club/ why did we let him go he was better?! ? 8 million my arse ?

G STAR RAM Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I'm not sure many had actually written him off, just think they were saying he was a waste of £8million, which based on last season's contribution was probably fair comment. I think more than anything, a lot were frustrated having previously seen what he is capable of. Still not certain the number 10 role is his ideal position because to me he seems such a natural finisher. A few times this season he has come deep, lost the ball and put us in trouble. He does seem to be growing into the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiddingsRam Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Funny how those who had written him off and even started a thread , "Vydra not fit to wear the shirt " seem to be very quiet now. Class player Just needed someone to in believe him. As @G STAR RAM stated he's a top finisher too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafiabob Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Should never have missed that sitter against Wolves away last season..... or we should have sold Nugent before he started a game..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Great goal yesterday, and a nice assist for the 2nd. As @G STAR RAM says, he appears to be growing into the role, though I'm not convinced it's the best use of his talent. For instance, I thought yesterday in the 1st half he should have dropped onto Bridcutt when we weren't in possession, but for all Bridcutts time on the ball he never really hurt us, so maybe that was a deliberate tactic. Still think him and Martin would be a fantastic fit together, maybe one day we'll see if it's so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninos Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 He was never given a chance. Mcclaren was obsessed with one formation and second time around wasn't going to give Pearson a tacit nod by playing his marquis signing. He was thrust to the bench, occasionally played on the wing. Pathetic, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we don't seem to have any discernable tactics now so he's probably just decided to do his own thing,lol And vydra probably didn't fit into McLaren's style any more than Martin fits into gr's....clearly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 The problem is when you play him behind the CF it leaves 2 in midfield and away from home or against better teams we get overrun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Liked him from day 1 classy footballer, natural goal scorer a genuine attacker. He has his weaknesses, can be a bit casual on the ball and not tough enough when going deep. Pick him for the right games and he will go from strength to strength. Total winner who had a raw tactical deal at the start of his Rams career. I wish we had the luxury of experimenting with different combinations and could see a Nuge / Martin or Martin / Vydra set up. Nuge is a fantastic all round striker and can play with anyone or alone .... but I'd really like to see Martin / Vydra with GT on the pitch to resolve the good point @sage makes.

I still don't see him as the complete performer but he works well of a strong top player.....it would be better if it was Martin in my opinion.
