cannable Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Massively underrated, at his worst he’s solid defensively but sloppy in possession, at his best he marauds up the wing whipping dangerous cross after cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I think the pandemic break has done his fitness a world of good. He was still making runs in the last few minutes. In terms of stamina he looked closer to his peak than he has all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyMac5 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Quote Craig Forsyth The club is delighted to confirm that Craig Forsyth has extended his contract until the summer of 2022. Forsyth, who is 31, has been with Derby since 2013 and made his 200th appearance in Rams colours in last weekend’s 3-2 victory at Millwall. The defender is a popular member of the squad and has shown great mental strength and character in recent seasons to bounce back from injury. https://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/2020/06/contracts-update-june-2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dethorn Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Great news Love him especially going forward Hopefully over the next two years he can be a valuable mentor to Max as he passes over the Nish baton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was such a boring signing at the time, a typical Nigel Clough type signing. Only you soon realise that for all the dodgy signings he made, Clough made some absolute belters, Forsyth being one of them. I still say under Macs first season we wouldnt have has anywhere near as much success if we didnt have Forsyth laying daisy cutters into the box time and time again.

Ram-a-lama fa fa fa Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 TBH a 2 yr deal has suprised me. Thought 1 yr might have been a safer bet for the club. But fair enough, if anyone deserves it its fozzy. End of road for malone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Great news that, thoroughly deserved. 2 years is a good length shorter term deal as well. Should work for all parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Not bad for a left midfielder bought for £150k. He's constantly come back from injuries and being down in the pecking order, it really is a credit to him. Well deserved. Malone, at this point, surely will be moved out. Big wages, potentially the third left back in our pecking order, plus he doesn't offer any other cover. It's not like we can play him at RB or CB.

therealhantsram Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 He's a remarkable individual. Even earlier this season Cocu had him pegged as a CB, but he's come back yet again to make LB his own position. I wouldn't mind betting this is a 2 year deal with a 1 year option. Hope to see him with us for the next 3 years for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you’d think Malone would go as he’s third choice Only 29 I think so may get a bit of cash for him (doubt we’ll recoup the 3 million). Never disliked Malone but surplus to requirements and still something of an asset means I would sell all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDerbySuperRams Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Forsyth always has spells at Derby that totally frustrate me, but managers always rate him. On a sensible wage it’s a no brainer to extend his time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Forsyth is one of those who dips in and out of form during games. One minute he puts an inch perfect cross in, the next gives an easy ball away. I think he probably deserves this contract though and I'm happy with him and Lowe as our left backs. Malone free to go and possibly get Buchanan a loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would assume so in terms of Malone - who is ok but he never wins headers which is bonkers for someone of his height and is generally caught out of position defensively so we may as well go with Forsyth and Lowe whilst Malone will be on too much money I suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Also when Wayne Rooney was substituted a while back he gave the armband to Forsyth and for me that’s a sign of respect for the job he does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
