Sat Atwal Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 What I think the problem with Lawrence is he is carrying 2 problems around with him A) the price tag. Not his fault granted, however for the vast sums of money we paid for him he was always going to be expected to have done alot more than he has. B) coming is as inces replacement. Not his fault Again, however what Tom ince bought to out team, with his goals, double figures from midfield and assists, Lawrence was always going to be compared to him to an extent, and we all know he hasn't done a quarter of what ince would have done up to now. These issues I believe play a part to how he has been up until now. Forget the tracking back blah blah but actual goals scored and made is not what was expected at this stage. To me he is no better than the current batch Weimann Russell etc, however the 2 points above are against him. However, there is a player inside there somewhere and it hopefully he starts producing the goods that we all think he is capable of, as he did in the same league last year for Ipswich.

The forum seems a bit quiet and non controversial of late (probably because we are doing well) so like a cheap tabloid paper I used some emotive language to stir it up a bit. Worked didn't it Oh you crafty beggar you! You'll be door-stepping him next and shouting "Mr Lawrence, what do you say to the allegations that you're a crap one-trick pony, who can't deliver a decent set-play and runs head-down into a crowd of defenders?" through his letter box next.

Steve How Hard? Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 This looks like the point of Tom Lawrence. Horrible kit he's wearing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see anything, other than the occasional good corner. Can’t cross a ball in play, rarely beats a defender, poor shooting, poor work ethic tracking back, awful positional play off the ball when our fullback has the ball. Not to mention the ludicrous price tag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're wrong that TL is the worst signing in 11 years. Sadly for us there's tonnes of far crapper players for Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 He has potential. Maybe better played centrally alongside vydra in a 4141 but he needed dropping in december. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In comparison to the prices paid he’s up there for me, yes we’ve signed worse players, but we’ve not spent £7m on them. You’d be lucky to get £1m back for him how he’s playing. Needs a rocket!

Phuket Ram Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I watch him week in week out, and I still don't really get why he's in the team. Can't dribble, can't tackle, can't shoot (on target at least), not much good at set plays, can't cross - what am I missing? What does he bring to the team...?

hintonsboots Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Young player with bags of potential. Probably low on confidence like the rest of the team (except Palmer, who should be starting all the remaining games and doing the pre match team talk ). Lawrence was outstanding at Ipswich and plays well for Wales, we are always looking for a scapegoat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePrisoner Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I thought he had a good game today. Made quite a few challenges and tackles which he doesn’t always do. He could do some more running and chasing the ball down but he appears less selfish than he had in previous weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Just me again that thought, in the first half at least, he did the things he hadn’t been doing? Been one of his harshest critics but thought he was decent today, actually passed when the pass was on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
