As you are clearly failing to see that three central strikers, minus one, is two. Which has literally no bearing whatsoever on my opinion about whether Sam Winnall is a pub player, decent in this league, or Pele reincarnated.

TobyWanKenobi Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Opportunity for a young player to get on the bench and maybe some first team minutes, something we've been lacking lately. Lewis Walker has been scoring for the U23s lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteroseram Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Did anyone else see Steve Nicolson's clickbait article titled "Can Derby recall any of thier loan strickers" to which the answer is a short no? Long story short he's now blocked me on twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester40 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 This discussion about who can be recalled is a bit pointless to me. They have just been told they aren't in our plans...plans that would have included injuries. It's not a whole raft of injuries....it's one...to someone who was 'bit part'. Unfortunate but not so much that we panic. We have options...good ones... We generally play with one striker...Jerome and Nugent play there. Weimann could at a push and Vydra and youth players for a game or two if we're desperate. Generally one game a week until the summer. No need to worry yet.

Ramarena Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 3 hours ago, CornwallRam said: I would imagine that a couple of fee agent strikers will be training with the club next week, just in case. Ismael Miller, Victor Anichibe and Carlton Cole would all be options. Not good options are they? Cole has barely played since 2015 and recently had his contract terminated in the Thai league. Same goes for Miller. Anichibe's the only one who's played much football recently but isn't he still contracted to his team in China? We should be o.k, just hope at least one of Jerome and Nuge can stay fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that they are terrible options given what we require. Unless they turned out to be fantastic in training, they'd only be back up to Nugent and Jerome. If both stay injury and suspension free we could easily get to the end of the season with no issues. Yet if either one is out we are really struggling. The centre forward role in a Rowett team involves expending a lot of energy. It's hard for anyone to last a whole 90 mins. To expect a player over the age of 30 to do it three times in a week would be asking too much. Yet if we had another centre forward he could play 20, 60 and 20 minutes in those games.

I see your point I just don't see any of them being able to manage that basic requirement anymore. Two years ago Cole would probably been the answer, but now????? I've had a look through and can't see anyone really, probably the best option's are Blackstock or Jérémie Aliadière. However I think we would be better off recalling an U23 instead.

RamLad1884 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 What's the point of young promising players if they're not going to be used when needed. The whole mentality GR brings to the table is about a team full of quality rather than one player. As long as any youngster that we play knows their role in the team then we'd be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I am pretty sure that Winnall would have signed for the Rams if he had scored a few more goals. Butterfield is definitely coming back to the Rams in May More likely that Winnall will need to play for a few months before he would be considered as a transfer target for us now. Sam Winnall, you have been excellent for the Rams. Recover well and we will have another look at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archied Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Not too worried as it’s in the laps of the gods ,, we could have 5 strikers and they all get injured if the footballing gods have it in for you ,,,we have two aged over 30 and it’s the youngest one that gets the season ending injury? there is a god,,, he just don’t like us,,, let’s hope he likes rowett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did , he had 3 players for one spot and a group of forwards that could adapt in emergencies ,, our injuries under Mac 1 were a joke at one point ,, no clubs trying to stay inside ffp in this division can keep a huge stock of players just in case ,,, villa have parachute money and wolves are banking on going up but you can’t do that season on season without falling foul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
