cannable Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 50 minutes ago, RodleyRam said: It's a fair point we have started strongly. Last season we came unstuck because Rowett stuck rigidly with the team that was 'doing the talking' despite it being a long season and the need for depth and variety. Sending Martin out on loan and freezing of George was an epic mistake when we needed to stop the rot and control games. I appreciate it's different now but i think we would be unwise to freeze out a player of George's proven ability. He may yet be integral. Possibly not the point you were making but I've had a beer and I heart George... I’d argue control is still lacking currently. New George looked good to be fair.

SaffyRam Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 According to the DET, George is starting for the U23s tonight! https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/two-derby-county-first-team-2014858.amp?__twitter_impression=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyMac5 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 According to @OwenB87 on RamsTV he says (paraphrasing) George has expressed a desire to be involved for the U23s as much as possible. Lots of hesitancy in the few sentences OB and Eddy managed about Thorne - either they know nowt or they ain't saying what they know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipley Ram Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 My mum went to the game and said George looked very slim and up for it. She also said Alex Pearce won everything in the air and was always shouting organising the defence. She also saw Nugent at the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously impressive for Nuge to go to Loughborough to support the U23s the night before a leaue match. Good to hear that about Thorne and Pearce. If they can help take us to the top of the U23 table then I expect frank will pay attention. He knows he's still learning. Football's one of those games where everything can change very quickly.

But either way it's great he's there for the younger lads again, model player. Also possible that Nuge is only being considered as a sub if at all for tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to sound like a conspiracy nut, but maybe George wants to play as many minutes as he can to build up his match fitness and strength as he really wants to get back into the first team?

Already seems like a great person to have about, which is a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
