Simmo’s left foot Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Full marks to Max on his performances and attitude in his games since signing for Bristol. He’s determined to see Derby promoted, before he moves onto to the next phase of his career. Well done.

YorkshireRam Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 17 hours ago, YorkshireRam said: My only criticism of Max ties into this actually, and that is that he very rarely EVER looks the best player on the pitch. Northampton (H) this season I would argue was one of the only games I can remember with this being the case.

Ambitious Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Ahead of his move to Bristol City, I thought it would be interesting to note that Bird has not played in 10 games this season and we’ve won 8, drawn 1 (Portsmouth) and lost 1 (Bolton).

A coincidence? Who was Bird partnered with in midfield, which forwards could he link with, etc...? Bird and Waghorn have only started a single game together all season (a win) He then only had 2 games with Gayle, losing the first (Gayle's first start since November) and winning the 2nd. He also only had 7 games with Adams as a midfield partner. We lost 2 of those games but didn't have a CF in one of them, and the other was Gayle's first start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this is an interesting statistic, I think its important to look at who partnered him in midfield like @Ghost of Clough said. I've always thought that we're at our best when only 1 of Hourihane or Bird are playing, not both. At least his transfer has sort of forced Warne's hand from next season. Having had a look at CH this season, we have won 5; drawn 3; and only lost to Charlton when Hourihane hasn't played or only played a 20 minutes or so. So again we have a winning record when CH hasn't played (or played very little).

As technically good of a player as Bird is, I do wonder how much he moves the needle (so to speak) in terms of our performances. In terms of impact on our team, performances, etc. If you offered me Bird to play in all seven remaining games, but it meant we had Adams in three of the remaining seven OR you said Bird wouldn't play in any of the remaining seven games but we could ensure the latter available then I'd 100% take the second option as I imagine 90% of supporters would.

chadlad Posted Sunday at 05:41 Share Posted Sunday at 05:41 Funny thing, sometimes you don’t appreciate someone until they go. I remember many posts on this forum suggesting he was useless - maybe he just felt ready for a change. Love the fact that Cashin went over to him when he was subbed near the end as they both came through the Academy and have probably known each other since they were kids angieram, Comrade 86 and RadioactiveWaste 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouRams Posted Sunday at 16:11 Share Posted Sunday at 16:11 I'll eat my words, said we were daft loaning him back, he's shown nothing but class anytime he's been on the pitch since and a great way to say his goodbyes.
