I find watching him play so frustrating. He squares up a full back and then... Nothing... I think too many people judge Lawrence on this perception that he 'bottles it' against defenders - We've been a possession based football team for the last year - Oddly under Rowett he seemed to get criticised for losing the ball too often (because Rowett was all about hitting people hard and quick with the front 3) Last season statistically Lawrence scored the 5th most goals, 3rd highest shots per game (so he is trying stuff), 4th highest key passes per game, second highest dribbles per game and had the highest 'bad control per game' (indicates players who get themselves into better positions/choose positions where they're taking the ball under more pressure - Mount, Marriott and Wilson also over 2 per game) Running the channel for no reason whatsoever is what Camara did - And Anya can do - Getting into positions to cause the opposition damage in the middle of the pitch and creating chances for those around you is what Lawrence does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A garbage player would not have achieved what he did with Watford.... he hasn’t brought anything to Derby but not exactly had the opportunity... a few weeks after being signed by a manager they left. Was frozen out by everyone who followed. Yep becasue they also thought he was garbage, or are all those managers wrong aswell? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Anya one was floating around under Rowett and then he made an appearance. Thorne will cost £12500 per match for the next 43 matches. No idea about Anya and cannot find any credible source stating any add ons for his transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he attempts it less than other players as such I just don't think he does for his ability level. The number of times at pp I've seen him isolate his full back and been willing him to have a run at him and he doesn't is frustrating to say the least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennett plays at his best when he's an excitable puppy that just goes mad on the pitch and the opponent doesn't know what to do with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we would have £487,500 left to pay WBA. If we can get him fully fit then for that price he isn't worth leaving out. Although he is an expensive sub when he comes on for a few mins to see a game out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaRam Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Can we not just sell him to Mel and buy him back for a quid to make that contract with WBA null and void? this is a semi serious question, well not really but....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
