Gerry Daly Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I don't disagree with the options discussed on this thread, but I think Wilson is a real player and will go on to shine for us Dartmouth Ram, Premier ram, Comrade 86 and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmo’s left foot Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I'd agree with others Nyambe, Fornah and Nelson looking very good. I think the team is generally improving as they get to know each other too. Magicman, RedSox, angieram and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 3 hours ago, Dartmouth Ram said: I know we're only 10 games in but I think it's enough to determine what potential gems we've unearthed this season. Here's mine in no particular order: 1. Curtis Nelson - Shaky start but improved game after game and looks rock solid and assured at the back. 2. Ryan Nyambe - Only three games played but unbeaten in all three & looks easily a Championship Player. Can't believe nobody came in for him in the summer. Imperative we get him tied down to a long term contract. 3. Tyrese Fornah - Florist's loss is most definitely our gain. Growing in confidence game after game, technically gifted and also reads the game very well. Could be a mainstay in our midfield for few years. 4. Martyn Waghorn: Got to admit I was somewhat sceptical about his return but 5 goals already this season in less than 10 games proves me wrong. League One is most definitely his level at his age and I'm certain they'll be plenty more goals to come. Bang on Dartmouth. I also agree with @Gerry Daly and would have Wilson on my list too. I know he missed a couple last night, but I think there's a serious player in there. Also intrigued by TJJ, who could be the cherry on the cake! Anyone know when he's likely to be back in contention?

Mihangel Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Fornah, every team needs that kind of player. A very good signing IMO Dartmouth Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodleyRam Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Most of the signings add something different. I was sceptical about an apparent lack of strategy and a few too many in the 'been there, done that' category but Fornah, Wilson and the Cat give us a little more dynamism. It's a nice blend overall. Nelson the quiet standout for me so far. Dartmouth Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Same four as everyone else - Nelson, Nyambe, Fornah & Waghorn. Fornah is the player who I like most, you can really see a potential significant upside to him and his play. Technically and physically, he's fantastic. He's still very raw, but feel that he's a player who does have a pretty high ceiling - certainly no less talented than Bird, Sibley or Knight which is huge considering how cheap we were to pick him up.

MadAmster Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 For me, Fornah. First 2 games saw early doors, unnecessary yellow cards and I doubted him. Since then he's become a rock in defence and exciting going forward. His performances have allowed Bird to play the #10 role where he started slowly but grew into the game providing some very good attacking passes. Downside of him playing there is it denies Sibs the chance to play his preferred role... norwichram and Dartmouth Ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 it's interesting that the later signings on the whole have been better, Nyambe, Fornah and Waghorn. I wonder if there was a change in prodecure? Dartmouth Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavesaRam Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) I like Wilson because he excites the fans. He doesn’t look to pass sideways or backwards, neither does he just bang a cross to no-one, he would much rather take his man on and make something happen. He is perhaps the best dribbler we’ve had at Derby for years and years. But my vote is for Fornah and Nyambe in equal measures because they have added so much to the whole squad. They have freed other players to “do their thing” instead of having to do half of someone else’s role - hence Smith’s performance at Blackpool.

I wonder if there was a change in prodecure? Would we have signed Nyambe if Rooney didn't pick up a serious injury? There were very few alternative free agents out there, with Nyambe being the obvious option. Would we have signed Waghorn if Forsyth wasn't a part time agent? It sounded like he was only being signed as 3rd/4th choice CF too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it's just that Nyambe and (possibly to a lesser extent) Fornah were holding out for championship clubs and therefore were only available once that no longer looked possible.

HorsforthRam Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Agree with all the suggestions. Would love to see Fornah kick on with a goal. Add that to his game and he’s a gem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
