Millenniumram Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Feel awful for Curtis. He’s had a torn Achilles before, and if it is that again, I believe that will be him out for 6 months. That will be his season over, and at his age, possibly his career too. Would be a terrible way to go out if that is the case, he deserves better after the great career he’s had. It does surely add a CB to the January priority signing list though, and probably a permanent one at that. With Davies out, and Te Weirik seemingly binned off already, we have very little cover for Wisdom and Clarke. Neither of them are currently contracted to be here next season either, so we need to start sorting that position out long term as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roboto Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Hopefully MtW can use this as an opportunity to launch his Derby career and fans can forget the early season form that was a consequence of the whole team playing awfully. Perhaps he'll be a revelation, given the chance to force his way into a team that is performing better overall at the moment. Gutted for Curtis. Such a likeable guy and a leader on the pitch. If he wants to go into coaching perhaps we'll keep him on with our academy or first team setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean (hick) Saunders Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 MTW surely can’t be that bad. I don’t think Cocu was a bad judge of a player. I tended to agree with many of his team selections in general. Sad for Curtis though. Suspect he would have been retiring anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTW was really a fish out of water those first couple, then did ok in a back three one match before disappearing from the face of the earth. If he's been working hard on adapting to the English game he might get an opportunity but I think he'll probably go back to the Dutch league. I can see us promoting another u23 if cover is needed beyond George Evans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandExile Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 If that is the case, it's a real shame all round but especially for the man himself. I wasn't too keen when we signed him because of comments he made around the time of Wee Billy's play off final - but I can no longer recall what he said and he was probably right anyway. He has proven himself to be one of the most articulate footballers I've ever heard. Clearly a great thinker of the game. I think he would make a very decent manager. Or, if he chooses to go into media, he's already done bits of punditry and is regularly on 5 live discussions. I hope I'm not writing him off too soon and that he gets to continue playing with us or elsewhere. Not the best at "playing the ball from the back" but in terms of out and out defending, headers, tackles, interceptions, he's been the best at the club since he arrived. Excellent player. Top bloke.

PendineRam Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 What a bummer for the lad, hope he gets the chance to play again and end his career on a happier note. All the very best Curtis, keep your chin up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramarena Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Best defender at the club still and will be a huge miss despite him being on the decline and not being the best with the ball at his feet, he bought much needed leadership, experience and organisation. Really gutted that it’s ended this way for him with a second Achilles injury as at his age this could finish his career. Best of luck to him with the recovery and leaves us with a big hole to fill.

No idea, I'm sure posters who follow the u23s will have a better idea than me, but given the club's drive to get them in the team and MTW's not making the squad, I could see it happening, especially if he's wanting back himself (again, no idea what his state of mind is, but I'm sure his adventure to England isn't what he thought it was gonna be) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Feel for him, really do. I ducking hate serious injuries, the worst part of football. January will be interesting. Do we have money to replace him or are we gonna stick with Clarke+someone (Te Wierik, Wisdom, Evans)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you can only judge someone on the basis of what's been presented Infront of you. And unfortunately in his limited appearances for the club MTW was absolutely wretched.

rammieib Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 MTW cannot be a bad player. His team had one of the best defensive records in the Dutch league (probably compatible for quality taking it all into consideration). He should be given a chance.
