Ram-Alf Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 We don't hear or see what happens at Moor Farm or PP, TL lost his Mum, This still could be affecting him...who knows ?♂️, If and it's a big IF TL was advised to take a break then he's taking that advice, If on the other hand WR is sending TL off on a jolly to recharge his batteries it's not a descision I agree with, Everyone and his dog if fighting tooth and nail for the cause and yet our Captain has been given some time in the Sunshine...if this is true. Different strokes for different folks I guess, But this could be seen as TL being a favourite with WR, When Sven Goran Ericson was the England Manager he treated David Beckham differently to the rest of the squad by giving him special treatment when staying in hotels, While other players had certain curfews, Some other Senior players were not happy.

roboto Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I don't see a problem with him following advice from his manager who has been there and done that in his playing career. Clearly Rooney has managed Lawrence well this year and showing faith in him to be our captain and lead from the front has been working for everyone. The red card was reckless and an error of judgment, but I think most people have been guilty of making rash decisions in the heat of a moment and if we want to protect squad morale we should be supporting Tom when he returns. He was a miss last night, but he wouldn't have had an effect on us going behind with the first attack of the game. We still controlled most of the game, but we just didn't make the most of our possession and some were too afraid to shoot when given the opportunity. Millwall are aiming for top 6 and we all know a Rowett team is hard to breakdown after they get ahead. I don't think having Lawrence there (on the pitch or on the sidelines) would've made a difference to the result unfortunately. We've got 2 more matches without him. One just as tough (on current form) with Luton and then hopefully a more winnable fixture against Cardiff. From then on Tom needs to come back in and be the leader and difference maker again. If he can be fresh and ready for the challenge physically and mentally then that can be the difference to survival or just wilting away and seeing through the rest of this season.

SirBrian Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Wayne what have you done! turned against you after the Euro finals when you was banned for the opening 2 games, and you was allowed to go to Las Vagas where photos showed you with bleary eyes looking so tired, who knows what you got upto, this is the clean version!!! on arrival back in the Ukraine you started in the 3rd game looking so unfit and overweight. England captain you should have been in Ukraine for the opening 2 games supporting the players, as so should Tom be in Derby supporting the players your are supposed to be captain what a joke, sooner the season is over and you are gone the better. Fully behind Wayne however this is a wrong decision, unless their is friction behind the scenes with captain Tom. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal is a Ram Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Maybe, this was Wayne's idea? Trust his man management. It seems to have got plenty out of Lawrence so far. Perhaps a mental reset will be good for him? rammieib, Premier ram, dcfc4ever and 2 others 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, all said and done it will be his last season at the club. If he can come back into the team and give the fans half dozen decent performances in the run in, it would really be appreciated. r_wilcockson and Kathcairns 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester40 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 12 minutes ago, cannable said: Because he was sent away on holiday Good point, well made. It's one or the other. He sticks around, suffers, trains, sits with the players and kicks every ball. Or ..he goes away, clears his head, gets some perspective, relaxes...and comes back with renewed vigour and is like a new player. Brave decision by Wayne, not sure its one I would have taken but his man management has been brilliant this season, so I'm willing to trust him. By the same logic it's not fair to slate Tom if he has been told to have a few days off. I'm sure it's been really intense and it may do him good. angieram, Carnero, dcfc4ever and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
