PodgeyRam Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 He's so slow and immobile that when teams run at us he gets bypassed. Sure, he's a good passer, but he's not having enough influence on games that his lack of defensive ability can be overlooked. Textbook example, their second goal. He doesn't have the pace/agility/thought to track the goalscorer who happens to be his man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Won't be good until he has the right partner. Because it isn't Ledley and it isn't Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaRam Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Last time he looked good was in Pre season against a conference team. Waste of a place on the team sheet. For such a big lad he's so powder puff it's unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyPowell Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 When Huddlestone signed i thought he might do a dave mackay for us but unfortunately hes 4years younger than Dave was and 10 yards slower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Hobhead Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 The one massive issue for me. Should have had Butterfield in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield Star after Villa game JACOB BUTTERFIELD - 9 One of the best Wednesday performances of this season by any player. Butterfield was peerless; breaking up play, playing neat passes and setting up attacks, all of which allowed Bannan to better fulfill his role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reading game was a shocker but surely not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRBee Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Is he undroppable ? As a Rowett signing I fear this is the case. Bad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 As a Derby fan I hope he finds the form we want from him. He has undoubted class. That’s why he was able to play for Tottenham and England. He will never be fleet of foot but his passing ability is unquestionable. One thing’s for sure. He ain’t going to get any better with everyone slagging him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that suits our current style is debatable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramcoteRam84 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 With Kieftenbeld alongside him then I think he would be more effective but right now it's not working so Thorne needs to come in for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellafella Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I thought Reading's passing and movement today was a joy to watch. Their number 50 was sublime. We looked like a Sunday League pub side in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
