Controversial views unchallenged

Having read the three favourite Derby players thread…

I just don’t get the whole Bryson thing. Playing-wise, barring one unbelievable season aside he was just a tidy, energetic midfielder who would stretch the play.

Shackell should’ve been POTY in 11/12.

And then off the pitch, he tried to force a move to Burnley in 2014 which resulted in us giving him a contract worth £5,000,000.

The unbelievable season he scored half his goals in 3 games. Martin should have been play of the season 13/14 and would have been if it wasn't for Bryson's hat trick against forest.

The players from the time all say Bryson needs to thank Martin for that contract 😂

Not sure it’s controversial but….

England would be better if Bellingham played in a deeper role as he has done for Real for a lot of the season.  

Playing next to Declan Rice would make his game there a breeze. 

This would mean Foden playing in his preferred role as a 10 and an actual left winger in either Palmer or Gordon making England a much more balanced team.

This just makes sense. Round pegs in round holes.

Absurd decision to sack him both times. With Morris’ initial investment he’d have taken us up 15/16 easily

Not absurd when his head had been turned by. Newcastle United. During that period if time he was away from Derby, leaving the training in Paul Simpson’s hands, then turning up and setting the team up with no thought of what they had been training on, and our performances fell away.

It was right fir him to go because although he said he was committed to Derby, his heart was already 140 miles up the A1.

Performances of course could also have fallen away as we had no defensive midfielder or striker. Or like you say could be because of a made up story.
