AndyinLiverpool Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 'Derby do have a connection with Scottish football in the past, signing midfielder Craig Bryson from Kilmarnock in 2011, and Kyle McAllister from St Mirren in January this year.' And, er, Johnny Russell from the same club this lad plays for. Another well put-together and researched piece by the Derby Telegraph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheron85 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Do we really need another Left Back? The best way to improve a squad is by strengthening in your weakest area and (for me) that's still out wingers - We have Lawrence, Russell and Weimann currently - The fact that we're playing Johnson there on a semi-regular basis worries me Not that Rowett would ever drop Johnson - I suspect he'll be playing LB on Tuesday just to cram him in the team somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - I actually count us at 4 - Forsyth, Olsson, Lowe and McDonald If Rowett is serious in his intent to create space for the u23 team to get opportunities then bringing in another 19 yr old would suggest he doesn't think much of Lowe or McDonald I suspect this is just agent talk and we're not interested at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forsyth - as expected, hasn't been as good as he was before the injuries. Ain't he running out of contract too? Olsson - attacking fullback. Can't see him in Rowett's team. Lowe - ability wise ready to make a step up, the body seems to disagree. Shame really. Might go into the same category as Olsson. McDonald - showing only promise so far. Complete clearance in next 8 months or so could be reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowett might see our winger situation differently (Russell, Johnson, and Lawrence are clearly his favorites and we have Weimann and Bennett to add the numbers) Whatever the case will be, it's not a bad business to keep eye on young, promising player who is running out of contract next summer.

Complete clearance in next 8 months or so could be reality. All valid points. Ironically it's the one area an old head would help. Sure the defence up for a year ready to hopefully hand the reins to Lowe. Can understand GR being disappointed with Forsyth, Olsson isn't his type of player, Lowe doesn't seem able to string 2 matches together and I don't think McDonald is anywhere near ready. Clear the decks and have Lowe and this guy competing for a spot if he's the required standard. Bargains there means more spending prowess elsewhere. Better a free full back and decent midfielder than overpriced full back and a free midfielder a la Cotterill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Johnson is an excellent box-to-box midfielder And we don't play a system which includes a box-to-box midfielder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
