Didn't really have much of a choice today to play him. I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing Max Lowe here next season. Thought he looked quality pre-season and was very surprised to see him go out on loan. Max Lowe was too naive defensively to be a Champ level LB for this season I’m afraid, maybe his time at Aberdeen will have improved his game. Personally I dont see a role for him here as a LB I think he’d make a better left mid/winger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Lowe would have done the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kills any of our attacking outlet from the left. We have to rely on Bogle to surge forward on the right which puts him out of position, he’s not got the tactical nouse yet to read the game correctly at this level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 No problem with someone championing a player, but to continue posting in a thread about one player to disguise ones irrational hatred of another is just a bit Norman bates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you be admitting you were wrong anytime soon then... Which is ok, I don't need that. I just want people to realise what we've got when we've got something so good (in Scott Malone). The guy was becoming a bit of a scapegoat. I'm also aware that I'm scapegoating Ashley Cole by doing this, but in my view, it highlights Malones value to the team.

Doesn't mean im going to target cole who has done nothing to warrant it. Sorry just find your obsession with ashley cole a bit odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I tried to highlight back in March how much weaker as a team we look when he plays. You obvious didn't see it and you still probably don't. There were lots of Derby fans out there, at games and on here, who actively wanted to see Malone dropped for Cole. In my view, this was purely down to his name and previous reputation as it certainly wasn't anything he achieved in a Derby shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukedcfc Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Cole was excellent today, had little protection from Lawrence first half though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not me id rather malone played but fail to see the errors you so clearly see with cole. Anyway only one person to blame for Malones absence today and that was scott malone.

I do recall a lot of us saying Ashley was a decent replacement but not a single post after his red card saying that Coke was the preference.

You seem to take it to the extreme an not recognise that Cole wouldn’t even be on the bench if everyone was fit and available. For what he is (3rd/4th/5th choice) he’s as good as anyone can hope to sign at this level. Every club in this league is most likely jealous of our choice of LBs: #1 Malone #2 Forsyth #3 Lowe #4 Cole #5 Olsson #6 MacDonald Villa’s 1st choice would probably slot in close to a fully fit Forsyth and not much further ahead of Lowe. That’s how lucky we are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Their first came down our left, although my fuzzy memory was Cole wound up with two to deal with. I'll have to watch it back later, but for the good he might have done, the team has been better with Malone in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Tomori went out to our left to deal with two of them, whilst Cole covered and helped Keogh to mark Abraham. El Ghazi got in front of Bogle to get a head/shoulder/back on the ball to send it into the corner. Still not sure why Roos didn’t catch the ball for the 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheikh n Bake Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 More comments on the Huddersfield match thread reference Malone not being good enough....However, another Malone start and another Derby win added to the list. I'll reiterate my point for the 100th time: With Malone in the team, we perform so much better. Glad Cocu see's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Thought he was alright, myself. Had a lot to deal with. Huddersfield have bags of pace down their right side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipley Ram Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Malone is technically limited, but has a great engine. His ability to get forward into space allows Lawrence to drift into the middle, and for us to retain an attack down the left with him running into space. I like him.

Jortat Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 My issue with Malone is any crosses from the right side causes him to ball watch and drift into the middle of the box and leave his man behind him. He did it last season on many occasions and did it tonight. He is great going forward, has a great engine and keeps going but it’s the positional problem that nags on me and forces me to doubt him , especially when we are hanging on at the end of a hard game.
