Anyone from Bird,Knight,Shinnie, in the no.6 and i think that could cause most defences in this league some problems. Similar to my lineup on Strongest XI topic.

Sparkle Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I can’t vote because the best option for Derby county is that he is sold he is never going to get any better than what we have seen. he gives the ball away so much he makes no attempt to head the ball he can’t tackle and constantly gives fouls away in very bad positions he doesn’t cross from the bye line in fact when does he cross the ball his shooting is actually fairly poor in terms of shots on target maybe he thinks he has to do everything himself - he can’t - he doesn’t do the simple well frequently enough we can’t start him every game if he only comes up with positive things every 9 or 10 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Willow Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 For the moment his best position would be if he stays at home. Normally he's a CAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Quote He clearly has talent but..... Whatever his best position is, it definitely isn’t wide left. he popped up the other day on the right wing and put a great ball across the face of the 6 yard box. He doesn’t produce that on the left. We saw some great curving balls from Fozzy which he could only hit because he was left footed. If we keep putting a right footer on the left then don’t be surprised when we haven’t created from that flank. “but he cuts inside on his right foot”.......and he hasn’t scored in 11 cocu gave him the freedom to abandon the left flank and come central. Rooney seemed to give him that freedom too v Coventry. He’s more effective there, committing defenders and hopefully slipping someone else in. so often though, he’s not interested in passing and just tries to shoot. i’d sell. I think we need to break the mould to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Ram Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 He looks a missionary person to me. Not that I would know what a missionary man was but if I did he would be the Tom Lawrence type. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as simple as that. Other players have to make runs to drag opposition players away to create space. So many times Lawrence has had the ball with no one making runs or making themselves available to pass to so he kept getting crowded out and losing possession or trying to shoot and getting charged down. Then it's easy for people to say "Lawrence losing the ball again", "Another failed shot by Lawrence", "Get him off". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit fed up with Lawrence's attacking ability tbh. He's not even as good as Jamie Ward/Johnny Russell is he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelloram Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 1 hour ago, Ghost of Clough said: Knight, Holmes, Sibley and Buchanan and Forsyth all have worse drivble success rates. I don't see any of them getting the abuse Lawrence is ? The difference being the regularity of attempting to take his man on, something we should be praising - more successful dribbles than anyone else in our squad. Can't remember seeing him beat his man on the outside in 3 and a half years now, surely the good dribblers have the talent of the defender not knowing which way they're going to go, ward for example was much more tricky.
