Same as Knight who practically had Buendia in tears away at Norwich when he dominated him to the point Cocu stated he had more potential than any midfielder of his age he'd coached. Then we decided to spend 3 seasons putting them on the wing and this year at full back. SirBrian, RoyMac5 and CBRammette 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think coaches do this to players that have come through at a club more as they think they're more loyal and wont be diva-like compared to new signings? Perhaps even more so Sibley being a Rams fan? angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve had to work under such limited restrictions with regards to transfers that the various coaches have had to use the likes of Sibley and Knight to find solutions within the limited squads they’ve had. It’s still possible for Sibley and Knight to be used in a more settled role within the team in which we’ll hopefully see them flourish, just need Warne to work out how to make that happen.

bucktwo Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Is it too simplistic of me to think that with a preferred formation of 3-5-2 Knight Bird Sibley Should be the midfield ? CBRammette and Ghost of Clough 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addison and Huddlestone at centre half. We do it a fair bit. Jram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted April 5, 2023 Author Share Posted April 5, 2023 Why are we obsessed with someone playing in a deep midfield position being defensive. Was Pirlo defensive? Thorne? Alonso? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it’s time to unleash some of those 25 yard thunderbolts . He’ll never get the space he was given against Millwall and Blackburn ever again in his career I fear I’m constantly baffled watching Bukayo Saka compared to Sibley. Three years ago, when both were playing U18/U21 football, I remember thinking Sibley was the better player with better dribbling, skill, shooting. Now, Saka is one of the best players in the premier league and Sibley is playing Warneball. Magicman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Warne said in a recent interview that Sibley is the best finisher in the club.

Just watch the pre match shooting practise.Rooney took an instant dislike for Sibbo . He would have been better to go out on loan for 2 years. But it’s up to him to grab his chance now.

Zag zig Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 So we need goals and Sibley getting little game time. Does Warne rate him? Does Warne want him gone? Know he’s coming back from injury but can’t get minutes in a stalemate against the club bottom of the table. Really, I mean really?!

Without any disrespect to Cheltenham, if he doesn’t trust him while drawing against what may be the worst L1 team ever, i worry it says far more about the manager’s thought processes than Sibley’s abilities or lack of Besides Collins has similar issues retaining possession at times and they are fairly interchangeable depending on how you use Waghorn Edited October 7, 2023 by nottingram RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not sure what Warne wants Washington to do other than run around. So maybe Sibley doesn't run around enough and wants to do a little bit of running through the middle? 😱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made more big errors leading to goals this season: Bradley, Nelson, Elder, Fornah Losses possession more often than Sibley this season: Waghorn, Collins, Wilson, Washington, John-Jules, Elder, Barkhuizen, Mendez-Laing, Thompson Loses possession more often from attempted dribbles: John-Jules, Wilson Lost pessession more often from short passes: EVERYONE except Wildsmith and Vickers Shadowplay, RoyMac5 and Dordogne-Ram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
