Van der MoodHoover Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I know 2 Luton fans, both of whom said - thanks for taking him, and - can't play in a 3 as too slow when he gets pulled out of position. Seems to have been a mixed bag. Probably ok when we're at home, on the front foot and not much actual defending to do. Otherwise, not so impressive.

In a back 3 he'd be 5th choice if Fozzy and Nyambe were fit - even on Saturday he didn't look as assured as Nelson and Cashin but he scored two goals and if he did that every week he'd get a free pass for his defensive lapses. Fozzy came in for the Bolton game and played out of his skin and is simply much better than Bradley and 2 goals don’t change the fact he’s to slow and if we do go up Bradley would get skinned in the Champ.

I know a couple of Rams fans who still think that Korey Smith was a waste of money. McMuffin and Magicman 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were each complimentary about him (they were unconnected individuals) but consistent in their views that his best days were passed and his injuries had both slowed him down and made him less prepared to "go in where it hurts". Anyone who refers to Luton as a "great football club" surely needs their critical faculties challenging? RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who refers to Luton as a "great football club" surely needs their critical faculties challenging? If his best days weren't passed, he wouldn't have been dropping down to L1 level, though I gather other Championship clubs were 'interested' in signing him. But you only have to go back to the Sonny Bradley thread on the transfer forum - there were very few dissenters about his signing. National League to PL on a tight budget? Who doesn't think that's 'great'?!? 🙂 Premier ram and Bessie1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsdubs Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 There's always that section of our fanbase that write players off immediately and refuse to see the qualities when they do well. People on twitter were angry he came back in to the side on Sat, after 2 goals and MOTM they still refused to admit he was any good. His career suggests he has the character required to achieve promotions and success. Crewton, McMuffin, FlyBritishMidland and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapeTownRams Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Irony being that he has made it very clear that he views himself as a champo player and that he didn’t come here to play L1 football all his contract…. And yet if we did get promoted I just don’t think he would be good enough and wouldn’t get game time 🤷 derbydaz22, RadioactiveWaste and RoyMac5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I have to say, as a regular critic, he played well today. Nelson was a bit shaky and Wilson was unconvincing, so Sonny stepping up was needed and he delivered. Still not convinced by two upfront. The ball just keeps coming back our way, so if we play three CBs(as seems inevitable) I’d like to see Barks start. And can we stop the Waghorn cameos? Painful to watch.
