sage Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 One more thing I would add, for their goal yesterday, Bielik would have come out of defence to close down the passer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubbs Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Just want to say what a good performance he had today. Been out for a year and in his first game back for the first team he showed his class. Calm and composed in possession whilst being combative out of possession. 109/120 passes completed with some excellent long balls in there. 6/7 ground duels won. Covered well for both Byrne and Davies. Completely wasted at RCB, could've done with his composed, forward thinking presence passing in DM today, or even as the centre CB going into DM when attacking.

He clearly wanted to maraud out of defence, he tried it with his first touch of the ball. Agree was wasted playing at RCB and especially as a CB in a flat back 4. Bit rusty but thought his range of passing was very good and general defending was OK. Still think his future is sat in front of the back 4 alongside Bird.

Suspect the thinking was to play him in defence as he’d have less running to do - if he’d been in midfield we have almost certainly needed to substitute him after an hour due to his lack of game fitness....

There's always lots of 'forward planning' from Cocu, totally ignoring it might have been better to give him 60 minutes and then we might have been ahead!

Could play Knight further forward, where his goal threat would come into play. Genuinely think hes capable of 10-15 league goals in the right setup. I think the side needs the control Bird brings to the midfield & his defensive work is underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asanovic70 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Bielik hasn't done enough to convince me, it's all very well quoting statistics, as I often do here as well, too, but he got sent off against Charlton with a reckless tackle. He has been unfortunate with injury, but @Mostyn6 has a point. He comes across as a bit of a big time charlie when the Championship couldn't care less about reputation. I would still persevere with him, maybe in midfield & leave Davies at the back where his experience is needed. I am not wholly convinced with a back five though it helps us be more defensively resilient, but what is the point if we cannot create & score goals. If we are going to get out of this mess, we need to take games to the opposition. Shinnie & Knight, I said I'd be shocked if we get relegated with these two, but we need creativity in the midfield as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 I think he will end up in the middle of the back 3 replacing Davies in that position. Unfortunately The 2 players suited to playing RCB, Wisdom and MTW have had poor starts to the season. That position is one of 3 we need in January, Cue someone changing that 3 to 11.

He's probably referring to him saying he would give Derby two seasons, then look to move if they hadn't gone up in the Polish media. Only two weeks after signing a five year deal and not having played a game, not great form. I assume he'll be off in the summer then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great problems to have if we could just fastforward a year or 2. Knight has so much energy and drive I think he'll always be a bit deeper as a more box to box player. Could still do great work driving forward and arriving late in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taribo Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 @Jubbs is your real name Krystian Bielik? The only posts I see from you are ones where you’re spaffing your pants for him or singling out posters who dare to mention anything he does that is slightly less than perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, I thought he was just a bit too honest. Who out of our lot wouldn't want to play in the Prem, with or without Derby? Hardly fair to write him off for actually vocalising it rather than coming up with some BS media friendly patter. Naive, maybe, but anything more? I think if you watch the video with him and Jozwiak you'll see him in a rather different light to be fair. He certainly doesn't come across as bigtime, quite the opposite in fact and even if he had, most of us love a bigtime Charlie as you put it, as long as they can back it up. By way of an example I give a certain Igor Stimac who was an absolute piss-taker but it turned out he could play a bit too. Whilst Bielik has his work cut out reaching Big Igor's dizzy heights, you'd be mistaken to underplay his potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
