Shuff264 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Willing to give Bradley a bit of a pass so far, not being helped by whats in front of him. Too easy for strikers to receive the ball into feet with nothing in midfield to screen or for the striker to drop off into space.

Is that going to change then (obvs if Bird's injury is serious or Warne sells him it will)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might is Warne stops his stubborn obsession with a back 3 and plays 2 central midfileders that provide the defence with an ounce of protection (which they don't get from Smith) Edited August 17, 2023 by Gaspode RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His midfield is currently offering zero protection, which is why I think Cash is struggling so much too. He also doesn't look comfortable in a back 3 at all, which is made even worse by the fact that he's isolated due to our wide CBs being instructed to stay wide and get forward whenever we've in possession. It's leaving him very exposed. I'm happy to eat my words on this if I'm proven wrong but I'm not quite ready to throw the towel in on Bradley yet. I think playing him in a back 4 with a functioning midfield will make him look like a totally different player. Rambling and RoyMac5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny that, he's willing to give opposition strikers a lovely weighted pass too. Shuff264 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird is part of the problem. So are the whole midfield. That’s where we need to improve the most, keep getting outplayed in the middle by the likes of Wigan, Blackpool and Oxford who wants to keep any of them really!

nottingram Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Is there a single player in the 11 who looks as good as you would expect? Ward and Forsyth? If at least 80% of your team look worse than they should it is probably not worth picking at individuals and consider what else is going on jimtastic56 and DCFC Kicks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Cashin struggling due to the form of Sonny B or is he a player that has had his “Head turned”? There seems a growing feeling that Brighton want him for £3 m. They will do what they did with Clarke - leave him in the lower leagues until such time they can make a profit on him. Brighton always think of the cash coming in.

Wide centre backs need to be pacy in a 3. We have 3 central CBs in Nelson, Bradley & Cashin. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton always think of the cash coming in. The Brighton stuff may be weighing on his mind but I think the biggest problem is he just doesn't have the pace to play one of the wide roles in a back 3, especially with the lack of protection from midfield. His best football in a Derby shirt came as part of a back 4 and I think if we revert to it his performances will improve dramatically, same with Bradley.

VulcanRam Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Bradley will come good, he’s got pedigree and is more than good enough to play at this level. It may just take time to settle down a bit. Far too much panicking going on here. DCFC1388, Premier ram, Magicman and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram1988 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 To be honest Fozzy is the best of our centre backs at the moment. RoyMac5, Steve Buckley’s Dog, Dordogne-Ram and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trappatoni Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 For me Cashin looks far better than Bradley head turned or not. Bradley almost gave away a goal with his clearance and then a pull back on their player then was largely at fault for not going with the scorer of Oxford's first which came after his wayward headed clearance. He's been a complete liability so far. RoyMac5 and DCFC Kicks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
