RamNut Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I watched the first half hour of the u23 game. George did as well as anyone. Certainly did more than Bird. but it was pretty boring there are no real stars in that team on that evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprising with all that junk on your landing. I’ve lost none of my fraternal sympathy please note. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Presumably the second half today played himself back into contention bby being nowhere near the three nil defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Sam Rush court filings are to be believed, every 1st team appearance would cost us another £12.5k. Rush was 'asked to leave' in May 2017 - Thorne had a new contract in Jan 2018 - If it was in the original contract I can't believe it was still in the new one?

He gave Marriott the time he needed until he was ready, and may be doing the same for George.

We were crying out for a defensive midfielder who can tackle, pass accurately and run the game just in front of the defence - Huddlestone can do 2 of those - Ledley and Johnson can do 1 (maybe 2) a piece - Thorne of 3 years ago could do them all I REALLY hope Lampard hasn't made his decision on Thorne already and there's a reason he's not been close to the first team squad so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our views are prefaced by how good he was in the past, whereas Frank will see the situation more objectively, and right now he’s either not good enough or not fit enough to play in this team. You always have the hope that he will get back to something close to his best, even then he’ll be one of the best in the division, but when bird gets in the 18 ahead of you, you have to be concerned for him.

Smyth_18 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 i can confirm from a reliable source that George Thorne is working to get to an adequate fitness level so that he can be sold in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulcanRam Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I can only go by what we've seen in the U23s, and to my mind he's looked on the whole slow and lethargic, not in brain or ability per se, or perhaps even willingness, but his legs look like they're running through treacle half the time. No way would he be able to get around the pitch in the pace of a Championship game. If he was anywhere near the first team reckoning he should be dominating the types of games we saw against Villa U23 last week, but sadly he wasn't. A great shame, I'm a big fan and I'd love to see him play for Derby again but I just can't see it and I've no idea what the answer is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a strange thing to tell a player. So the manager has told him 'get fit so we can sell you'? Sounds like a good motivational speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We'll see you through the process, and ultimately, we'll both benefit!" I'm sure GT would prefer to be wanted by another Championship club rather than only being tempting to League 2 clubs?

i-Ram Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Is he good/fit enough now for MLS football? If he is, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him playing over there at some point in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it’s worth Holmes looked terrible in the U23s missing 2 sitters one on one in one game against PSV. Thorne and Butterfields footballing brains are way ahead of most. Max Bird also deserves his chance at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him playing over there at some point in the future. I think that I read somewhere that he'd been out to stay with Russell over the summer, so putting 2+2 together (and possibly making 5!) it could be a possibility.
