DontTrustTheDevilInside Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 2 minutes ago, jimbo jones said: Literally every single time Cocu has been asked about young players, he’s been quick to say, but you need players with experience as well. Success from the academy would be bringing one player through a season, not filling the team with 18 year olds straight away and hoping for the best. Name one youngster who would expect to have any significant role in the first team (excluding bogle who already is) particularly after January.... I agree with the idea, but there is a success rate to this type of thing so one or two players notably in first team contention (and not fighting over the same role) isn't flooding the team. Mitchell lawson looked bright briefly last season as did many of the wide players in the run to our team winning nationally. I don't get the logic of selling Thomas (which only makes sense if they believe there are much stronger players behind him coming through) and then having 4/5 or more senior players ahead of them (depending on who you count as a wide player e.g Holmes, waghorn if marriott returns, bennett, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the least convincing interview I've seen since John Nichol got shot down over Iraq. Forest banker. Welcome to Derby! Yep, just watched the full interview. Not convinced by him at all and have no idea why he agreed to join us. Hope I’m proved wrong. I’m usually a happy clapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachmyster Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Hope he takes Bennett’s place by far a better upgrade always looked a good player when I have seen him play . Don’t get all this he used to play for forest and made a comment he does not like Derby look what Tyson did with the corner flag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-Ram Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Useful addition to the squad. Gives us a bit more depth on the wings, and he is a very energetic wholehearted player. Anyone who wants to discount him at this point because of a bit of schoolboy banter need to give their heads a shake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even gibbo sounded really awkward in the vid as he can tell the bloke just couldn't be arsed and didn't want to be there I'm obviously biased and basing this on nothing. Would rather give anya a chance for a few months. Or Bennett. Or zoon. Lawrence out of position until Jan. Or waggy. But I suppose this is why Cocu's in the job and no me! In cocu we trust.

Thomas’ attitude has been pointed at for why he wasn’t given a chance. I don’t know how true that is. I certainly hoped he’d get a chance with us this season.

SuperDerbySuperRams Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 The comments on Patterson to Derby by Bristol City fans are extremely similar to the comments we made when Weimann went to the other way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriggRam Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 i didnt see or hear anything wrong with the interview, so long as he does the buisness when hes wearing a Derby shirt he'll have my full support, if he doesnt he can duck off back to Brizzle the red scum ?

He hits form and we lose out. That smacks of desperation on our part if we agreed to the clause. Plays well gets returned to Bristol, has a stinker no point of bringing him on loan in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we really see knight playing that much.... a fair few ahead of him and then if Rooney signs you’d imagine he isn’t playing as a 9 instead of waggy. Just find it a little disappointing for a season after out u18s doing so well and so much talk of giving youth a chance the best (any) actual chance of a youngster breaking through is as a 5/6 choice midfielder...

3766dan Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 He’s going to have to prove himself to the fans and win us over with a high work ethic and probably an important goal or two (followed by kissing the badge). Once he’s done that.. all will be forgotten. We all hope he’s a good addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
