DCFC1976 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 18 minutes ago, Anag Ram said: Sounds great and I can see your logic but the question is always where are the goals coming from? Lots of pressure on the front two with Rooney staying deep and neither Bird nor Shinnie prolific. Great having Lowe and Bogle streaking down the wing but who will they cross to? We are currently struggling with this part of our game. Fair point, I do think Shinnie has more goals in him if he was allowed freedom to make the runs forward. You could play Holmes in the three who is more attack minded maybe but it also depends on the summer recruitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal is a Ram Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Doubt he will make an appearance this season. Fitness is one thing, match sharpness is another. I think it's safer to just let him build up than rushing and setting him back any further. Especially with how short the turn around to next season could be.

Birmingham is probably the soonest (with an outside chance of Leeds), and if we make the playoffs he'll most likely be used off the bench in each game. Depending on the result vs Cardiff it may be best to let him fully recover and have a solid pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 It's remarkable we're still in with a shout, after all that's happened. However, I think the biggest problem this season hasn't been all the nonsense off the field, but rather the lack of a decent keeper. It has cost us so many points. Hamer wanted to play for us, but never convinced. Roos has more natural ability, but the defence and fans have never seemed able to trust him. With Hamer having the shirt, just since the restart we've conceded so many goals a stronger keeper would have prevented. I presume Hamer has played his last Derby game. I think Roos's contract extends into next season. If we think we're likely to put faith in Roos for next season, or want to assess that, then he starts. It might help him that there aren't fans in the ground. But if we know we're going to buy someone else (maybe a deal is already prepared for Joe Hart, Danny Ward or Zach Steffen?), then I don't have a problem giving Ravas a go.

We have been at our weakest for a long time defensively all season which probably was down to losing Keogh, Clarke has done ok but he lacks speed and definitely needs that next to him and when we lost him we needed Forsyth in there whilst lowe and Bogle are both learning how to defend in real football and their mistakes have been punished frequently whilst in the first half of the season our midfield was disorganised and very weak whilst we weren’t holding the ball up at all up front. I thought the Hamer signing was cover for Roos but it hasn’t worked out that way and I do believe Roos suffered due to the first half of the season mess in front of him and yes I would snap up joe Hart if we could afford him but we also need another centre half to accompany the new Dutch lad. and oh yes referees have picked on us dreadfully in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4ev6is Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I think what need compact teams at the moment is speed and pace to help compact these teams if the likes of selby bogle max low and even tom Lawrence it would make space like martin do what he does best and even make room for roony to do his thing.

I think if he picks him it's because he things he's the best option he has and I think more than anything he might take him out of the firing line. It is tricky from a coaching perspective though and I'm glad he's stuck up for him rather than hanging him out to dry or not commenting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Nothing against hamer but I it does seem a bit odd to play a Thirty something Huddersfield squad player ahead of our own keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
