It’s funny, my main memory of Malone if he goes, will be winding up the Leeds players and getting in their heads in last years semi final; I’m of course referring to his “their heads have gone” comment walking in the tunnel, which was quite audible. Quite funny too coming from Scott Malone, but at the time I do belief it had some impact and says a lot for what he’s about. Funny how we all see things differently - that to me shows his lack of class as a player. Like village team cricketer that constantly yells "wicket ball" from the field. Imagine it had no impact at all other than to confirm what he was like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSD Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Really highly rated him at Fulham and Cardiff. Was delighted when we signed him. For whatever reason, his great attacking play is cancelled out by his awful defensive decision making. He's been decent for us but being 3rd choice left back, I think his days are numbered, regardless of what people think of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottingram Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 He is a fine player. Excellent on his day with bad days where he has lapses in concentration. Unfortunately you just shouldn’t be spending multi millions on ‘fine’ full backs at this level and it is a shame Lampard felt the need to do so rather than trying to work with Lowe on his deficiencies. Thankfully we also seem to be past the days of paying experienced back ups lots of money. That is no slight on Malone but just hopefully shows signs that the club is finally learning from their mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topram Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Malone did okay in Lampards style, now he’s 3/4 choice, doesn’t mean he’s a bad player getting stick he doesn’t deserve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Rowett is doing a very decent job there and signing some good players for next to nothing - top 6 is likely Malone is expensive to us in wages so moving on and the other team paying them in full is ideal as we have two lads waiting in line in lowe and Buchanan whilst Forsyth remains the better defender Malone was once a Millwall player if that makes a difference i don’t think we have much chance of actually selling him unless it’s to a premiership club which just isn’t likely we probably still owe Huddersfield money for his initial transfer so not a great signing by us overall yet again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 There are certain players that for whatever reason would be really depressing to see them back in the Derby line up. Would feel like we're going backwards. I'm looking at you Scott. And you Mason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shang Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Malone would be fantastic as a wingback and his height has worked out well on some corners, has the legs to go up and down the wing all game too. I'd keep if there was a plan for wingbacks, but he could go if a back 4 is in our plan. He's clearly 4th choice after Forsyth, Lowe and Buchanan.

Struggle to see this amazing play going forward. He's a check back and give it to the centre back merchant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Lawrence kept cutting into the middle and Malone had no forward ball out, he played it safe to the CBs. We could see his potential when Lampard switched to a back 3 on occasion and he didn't need to run back to cover the position. He doesn't work in a back four, or at least without a true winger in front of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Happy for him to go be first choice for another club. Like Olsson before him, he's OK but if he's not going to be playing we may as well move him on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I like loaning players like full-backs to teams in the same division. Its often a noticeable hole when the backup fills in, in games against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Durden Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I'm struggling to recall if Malone was actually that crap from some of the comments. I forgot that we have Roberto Carlos playing for us ahead of him so we can be that sniffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I quite like Malone and find the view of many strange. But we have four left backs battling for one place. If I recall, Fozzy has a new contract and then Lowe and Buchanan have potential to be better players if they get the game time, so it would be a good move all round if Malone had a new club. Would leave with my thanks, and just one regret. I felt his sending off against Leeds had a massive impact on the playoff final. Ashley Cole wasn't fit enough to get beyond the halfway line, meaning our offensive play down the left side was totally stunted. Malone's failure was sometimes not engaging brain and collecting a lot of needless cards as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
