They keep us going at away games and have a much broader repertoire than the South Stand! The South stand made a valiant effort v Exeter to sing the “Spirit in the sky “ song . Much loved by Man Utd fans referring to George Best. The chant ends exalting the 2 Div 1 titles. We are not “Living in the past “ are we like Florists ?

Anag Ram Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Just wanted to say that whilst I think he struggles, nothing would please me more than for him to prove me wrong and become a Derby hero. Yesterday I heard fans yelling at him from the moment he came on, mostly without due cause. The lad’s never going to get better if his own fans can’t support him.

RoyMac5 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I'd have rather seen Sibley start the game than Dobbin, who flatters to deceive and is much less of a team player! LazloW, Grimbeard and DavesaRam 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I love the Dobbin we saw against Exeter but yesterday he was back to the tentative version. He should have smashed the ball in the net after McGoldrick’s effort was blocked and he fluffed it. He needs to add goals to his game, as does Sibley. LeedsCityRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem we have RoyMac5 is you can say the same about Sibley he as flattered to deceive for to long now and we have had numerous managers in charge and everyone as refrained from selecting him for any period of time Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobbin looks much more of a threat on the wing rather than as a striker. His confidence looks a little low at the moment but I can see a good player in there. Sibley can't start just because he is our player, he needs pushing to get the best out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the numerous managers bit, he's a young player you can't expect him to be 'fully formed'. Oh and he did look good when Hourihane was out injured.

i-Ram Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I really am not convinced he is ‘that good’. He hasn’t kicked on at all over the last 24 months. I certainly wouldn’t be organising my other 10 players around him. If he can’t break through this season I would sell.

Looked shadow of himself Definitely looked a bit chastened and got run off the ball a couple of times but there was a good tackle when he chased back hard from central in to our box to recover a situation and we cleared well because of it. It certainly looked then, like he was saying “look boss I can tackle”. Still got something to prove but he’s young and needs our support Edited October 30, 2022 by jono RoyMac5, Dordogne-Ram, CBRammette and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t say either way but Dobbin is improving. Early days I couldn’t see what the fuss was about, but against Exeter he looked very dangerous. Yesterday wasn’t quite so good but he was up with play and put himself about well. One of McG’s chances that he took on himself would have been better if he’d played Dobbin in. Dobbs was perfectly placed for an easy finish CBRammette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's as easy to say. Dobbin runs with the ball and very rarely passes, if the same with Sibley I bet he gets more shots off. Was very impressed with Sibs deadball delivery when Hourihane was out. I really think he tackles better than Warne is even joking about. If Dobbin is tracking back as much as Sibs can we expect to see him at LWB. Their stats are very similar, so why bring Dobbin through at Sibley's expense? Edited October 30, 2022 by RoyMac5 ck- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier ram Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Dobbin and Sibley are both decent players , both need an extended run in the team in their best positions so they can show their true worth Carl Sagan and DavesaRam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobbin is more flexible / adaptable while Sibley is more dangerous when he has space to move in either direction. When he’s wide he gets forced wider still and can lose the ball. That’s a pretty basic gut reaction from a handful of passages of play that stick in my mind angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I agree, @jono. Don't want to see Sibley starting wide, he's better centrally. On recent form, Warne got the call right yesterday. Will he risk him Tuesday instead of Hourihane? He's great to have in there for set plays, but might leave Bird exposed for cover. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will, as no Knight. The only other option might be Tommo as I get the feeling Warne likes Tommo’s work rate. He is a great terrier and with McG and Collins as a two he won’t be there to be a goal threat Steve How Hard? and angieram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Simply needs to control the ball better - he loses it far too much - at that point he will improve and stay in the team a lot more sage and DiggerB 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKANorwichExile Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 4-2-3-1 is really the formation to get the best out of Sibs. The only issue is that Didzy is the player in his way, and is probably the player Sibs **could** be if he realises his potential. I really don't see a future for him as a wide player because his strength is drifting around and picking up awkward positions. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
