Derbados Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Interesting that we tried to sign Alex Pritchard as part of the deal, was a very good player not so long ago but no idea how good he is now. Dissapointing but not surprising that he apparently doesn’t fancy coming to us though, the thought of staying at Huddersfield rather than coming to Derby shows how far we’ve fallen.

OoooMarkWright Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Dan Crowley from Birmingham would do me as a replacement. Out of contract and available. No idea if possible due to the possible embargo we’re under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the Huddersfield forum it seems that they consider Pritchard a failure there - one of those players who pass sideways and backwards - well we have seen those haven’t we - anyway he is apparently out of contract in the summer but clearly doesn’t want to take a step down from his premiership contract currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you can do 'one out, one in' under an embargo.....but if he's not keen, then he can 'go forth and multiply' as far as I'm concerned....

Fair enough. I agree for what it's worth, just wasn't sure if it would even have got off the ground had Pritchard been up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 If he goes, fair enough, he was decent servant to the club over his time and wasn't a huge fee. If we get £1m we've doubled his value! If he stays I hope he gets his form back and shows some of what he can do. I like the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the top of my head, he was absolutely outstanding against Southampton at home in the FA Cup under Lampard, and against Charlton at home under Cocu. That's two full games for you. I think it is still the right time for him to move on though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much is it - I can’t remember anyone playing well in that game vs Southampton, Marriott popped 2 in nicely and missed an open goal in the last 10 mins if I remember correctly whilst against charlton he did play well. The most ridiculous contribution he gave us was coming of injured at Leeds in the play off game getting Marriott onto the pitch and the rest is history nice chap but get some money back while we can - same goes for a few we have currently who are out of contract in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing on the right as well. I'm sure there were more, but those were the two that stood out and got me thinking "We could have a player here." I agree that it's time to get some money for him though. I don't think he'll ever be consistent enough to live up to the promise he showed at various points.

mike93rh Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I love Holmes at CM, the issue for him is that's our strongest position now with Sibley, Knight, Shinnie, Bielik and Bird (yes the last two are holding mids). Correct me if I'm wrong but his downturn this season has coincided with him playing mostly out wide? He's had half his game time from the bench as well. If Huddersfield play him down the centre I think they're getting a bargain at £1mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing in central midfield you have to be able of doing many functions well but Holmes doesn’t - he is good at running with the ball from the half way line which worries opponents which is big positive but his tackling and positional awareness are very poor whilst his passing is generally mis timed and inaccurate - thanks but time to move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
