You could ask why there aren't bids in for Smith and Hourihane but there is for Bird? As an Academy graduate I think that Max is very under appreciated by the average Derby fan. Even overheard one say that Korey Smith is a better player! sage, Caerphilly Ram, Carnero and 3 others 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoxoram Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Bird did nothing today, again. He is too slow, he can't tackle, he can't head a ball. I have absolutely no idea why people rate him. The sooner we get rid of him to Hull the better. bimmerman, Dcfcsr92, derbydaz22 and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not basing my opinion just on today's performance. Hence the use of the word again. I am basing it on watching him over several seasons.

Yet you mentioned today. When he was played out of position. Like NML was , who was also poor. What was Smith's excuse? Or Bradleys? or Wildsmiths?

What was Smith's excuse? Or Bradleys? or Wildsmiths? I did say today but then added again to indicate my opinion was based on more than just today. I agree with you on NML. I don't think NML fits with the way Warne wants to play. Wildsmith made a bad error and this can happen. Unfortunately, when it's a keeper, it often leads to a goal. We've seen enough of Wildsmith to know he's a decent keeper at this level. Smith was not at his best today and has played better. As for Bradley, if I ignore the back pass, I thought he did ok but I will not make any judgement on him based on one match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HorsforthRam Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Also did the one piece of skill where the crowd let out a collective “ooh” when he back heeled a ball into a teammate completely throwing the opposition. He sees the space very well. He was crowded out today as were many others angieram, jono, archram and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and let’s play him in a different position that obviously doesn’t suit him and play Smith in his position who is bang average at best. chadlad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Smith is nowhere near good enough, he waves his arms around a lot but achieves very little. If Warne seriously thinks that Smith is better than Bird in CM, and that Bird is a number 10 then I am really concerned about his ability to manage our football club. derbydaz22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
