If he’s fit and confident, it’d be Gayle every time. Missing out on Smith and Gregory could have been a blessing in disguise. vonwright, Ramarena, SKRam and 2 others 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of those 3 Gayle has not only played at a higher level but is also more of a natural goal scorer ….could be a real coup this RedSox and SKRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
England Ram Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Glad we have a proper striker to play the role. Glad he’s happy to come to Derby. Collin’s was leading the line well for us and gave us 13 goals and 1 assist directly in his 32 league games. Just under one every other game. His overall contribution and closing down I’m sure has given us more but that’s not as measurable. As others have said, if we get anything close to 5/6 goals or assist from DG he would have played his part and we wouldn’t have lost anything from that forward position in terms of goals. What we also hope is that his guile and brain can contribute as much as Colin’s work rate and bustle did for the rest of the team. Welcome to Derby DG.

Hoppo Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Really looking forward to seeing how this plays out. Potentially a great signing and brings bags of experience. I think it’s a great substitute for Collo. he should be a great addition to our squad, bringing Premier League level talent into league one. Welcome to Derby Dwight Gale. Roll on Saturday!

Gayle was (still is ?) the better footballer. But to be honest if I had known that Collins was going to be out it would have been Smith. A better version of Collo that would have enabled us to keep playing the same way i.e. little disruption and better continuity imho. To get the best from Gayle (playing as a sole striker as opposed to the normal two) will mean that we will have to change how we play a bit. Yes, in theory (and hopefully) NML, Barks etc can feed in to him, but it will take a little time to gel. In all honesty i can see PW setting us up at Barnsley like he did on satdee and to me that would make a lot of sense. We certainly want to blunt them early on and then maybe look to change at 60 mins again (depending how the game is going) and bring Gayle on for the last 25 mins. To my mind this is one game where we just don’t want to lose. therealhantsram, S6 boy, Crewton and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatRam Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Reckon its taken a bit longer just to get him a bit fitter before signing? Im trying to not get too excited but cant help it. I cant really remember what kind of striker he is tbh i just know he should be more than good enough to get us over the line 🤘 SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 He will probably need a few games to get back up to speed and needs a goal early to give him confidence. This move might not work but if it does, it could be marvellous. jono, Ellafella and TomG 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstaRam Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Only 17 goals up to Cole and Reid as the leagues top scorers! I think this could turn out ok if only, fingers crossed, Gayle can stay injury free for the rest of the season. Please let Lady Luck shine upon us for once! hintonsboots and SKRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds Ram Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 really like the look of this signing. Gayle's always impressed me with his awareness of space, clinical finishing, pace and power. At this level even at 34 he should be able to grab a few to get us over the line. SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bad Bob Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 What's going on? This isn't the Derby Way. The Derby way is to criticise a player before he has kicked a ball 😂 On a more serious note, Welcome Dwight and good luck 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram@Lincoln Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 We didn't expect much from McGoldrick when he signed and he became a vital piece of the puzzle. Hopefully another elder statesman in Gayle can bring his previous Premiership class to League One. As already has been said look at Rhodes and Martin tear it up this season, McGoldrick last season. I'm very hopeful indeed for this signing. Eoghan1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they'll release the video tonight or in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to return to normality let’s be clear he’s just a flat track bully; a Poundland CM; his legs have gone; he won’t want to play for Warne; he’s only come to play padel;…..that should do it….yes welcome to Derby Dwight 😁. samtheram83 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turk Thrust Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I just hope that fans aren’t bigging Gayle up too much and expecting a hat trick on his debut. I remember him at Newcastle but we are not getting that Gayle. We are getting a player several years older but I feel he’ll do well given a few matches.
