Catch 23 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Well I'll say that this one has stumped me. Not only that he's gone out on loan again, but that it's for the rest of the season. My only (rather grasping at straws) guess is that he still isn't fit enough, but then who knows? It seems clear to anyone who's been to games recently that what we need, more than a 20-goal a season striker, is some grit and presence in the middle, as evidenced from the way we were carved open for the third goal at Southampton. Maybe they're clearing the decks for a new DM? But then, I'm not one for conjecture. I guess we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Teale Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 See I dont think we need a big ball winner and dont think thats been the problem in recent games, I think we are winning the ball back ok but we give it away to easily,(pretty much staright away) Addison wouldnt help with that. I just dont think at the moment Hendrick, Bailey, Carroll are doing well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randombc Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Errrr, only one of them are in the Championship. Could be two in the next season- maybe he was thinking long term, although i did hear he doesn't like sheffield very much 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Miles going makes sense to me. We have Buxton and Naylor as centre half cover. He isn't a footballing midfielder and everyone says we need creativity so he ain't going to help there Doesn't fit in anywhere we need cover. Let him go .

So you believe that Naylor and Buxton are better options than Addison. People have short memories. He's gone from this great beast of a player who we all loved and admired when he came back with a MOM performance against Newcastle to someone not good enough to displace Buxton on the bench. All because Nigel does want him in the 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch 23 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 On a (partially) related point, does anyone know whether the decision to reduce the number of subs from 18 to 16 is set in stone for a few years, or whether they might overrule it in pre-season? It seems as if a number of players have lost out because of this. We all know that Cywka has, and I wonder if Maguire and Addison are losing out too. Clough did say earlier this season that there are a number of players who are 'outside the 16'. Whether that makes Addison better than Naylor or Buxton, well that's open to opinion really. Ridiculous decision to limit the number of subs, IMO. Having seven gives you a goalie, two defenders, two midfielders and two strikers effectively, therefore more options. Interesting, by the way, that Miles talks of Derby not having the ambition that Bournemouth does. They do have a rich Russian owner. Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackNwhites Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 He's only gone on loan. All game time, which he wouldn't be getting here. Valuable experience. The reference to the positive vibes is just about Bournemouth, he's never experienced that before. Always been dismal at Derby, depressing. He's excited at the prospect of pushing for promotion. Why wouldn't he be? Loan is a loan, playing time, get fit, come back next season when we all start again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got his fitness back to a level, a few reserve run outs and a few times coming off the bench would work. I think this is the steps to him going.

Leeds Ram Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 worrying words, talks about ambition and how much bournmouth has maybe a hint derby. It seems like he is fed up with us and is looking to move on, I don't blame the lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 "I want to be at a club that has ambition." miles addison's words in the interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 the previous quote doesn't neccesarily mean that addison wants to leave because of the lack of ambition at the club. Just saying in case daveo says it might be unfairly quoting miles.

Deano Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Unless he's completely thick, and doesn't realise what he's saying, he was definatly having a dig at derby and the ambition here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayram Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 So you believe that Naylor and Buxton are better options than Addison. People have short memories.

All because Nigel does want him in the 16. Don't waste your breath mate. Its obvious to those of us without our heads stuck up Cloughs backside that Miles is a thousand times the player a donkey like Buxton is, but because he obviously isn't one of Nigels favourites he is out in the cold. For a player like Addison to have to drop down a division to find a club that has 'ambition' is a shameful indictment of both our manager and the board.

I know, flogging a dead horse but I've had enough. 3 years of mostly poor football, bizarre tactics, falling out with players, selling those who the fans rate and low table finishes. Any other manager with limited experience would not get this backing from the fans. This "it's not fair" rubbish is getting boring now. How many times does a manager have to pick 4 central midfielders for people to think "this doesn't seem right". End of season we'll have Glick saying the same stuff about signings. We'll start the season well enough and people will be saying "told you so" about Nigel. We'll have a collapse, a few players will then be out of favour and sold, including a few signed by Nigel, some fans will bang on about the early season form as to why Nigel is amazing, we'll finish below halfway in the table and then we'll repeat the process again.

Well on the day we have one defender out for 6 weeks we let another go out on loan. With no plans to get amnother in on loan. Oh and Nigel says if we had 5 or 6 more points we might play Naylor. So the limit of of our anbition this year is to get just enough points to avoid relegation? Is it any wonder that Miles Addison complains about our lack of ambition? Frankly lack of ambition is where we are at Board level and at manager level. No investment , no ambition on the pitch either. Sick of em the lot of em.
