Day Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 KEVIN Kilbane remains a doubt for Derby County's home game against Millwall tomorrow. A hamstring strain forced Kilbane to miss the victory at Nottingham Forest last weekend and the left-back role was filled by Gareth Roberts. "Kevin does not have a major hamstring problem and we will assess him – but he is doubtful," said manager Nigel Clough. "We have games against Barnsley and Leicester City next week and we have got to make sure he is 100% right when he comes back." Klbane, the 34-year-old Republic of Ireland international, had started all of Derby's games this season before the Forest clash. Chris Riggott has started training with the squad again following a sore Achilles tendon. The defender, who signed a one-year deal in August, has been pencilled in for next Wednesday's reserve fixture against Burton Albion. "We will try and get him a few days' training and then he will play at Burton, if all goes well," said Clough. Riggott has not tasted match action since he played and scored in a pre-season friendly at Crewe on July 26. Clough also says that Stephen Pearson has started running and should not be far away from joining in training. The Scottish midfielder's only appearance for the first team this season was a start in the defeat by Shrewsbury Town in the Carling Cup. He has been sidelined with an abdominal injury. http://www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk/story-13388349-detail/story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake n Bake Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Could this mean Pearson might be back in the match day squad soon? Noooooooooooooooo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Let's hope not as he's complete dogsh*t, wouldn't mind Riggot on the bench soon though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 If Pearson plays, our good times will take a blow. League 2 player. I prefer Roberts over Kilbane too. Not very confident Riggott will see much senior football this season. Maybe a handful of sub appearances and a couple of starts if we have meaningless games at the end of the season? He needed to be fit while Barker was out. He'd of probably got on at Forest ahead of Anderson. Could of staked a claim from there. All the best to him though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Not got a problem with him not starting much but he's a very capable deputy if Shack, Barker or OB are out. I'm sure he's just happy to be involved and picking up a grand or so a week to cover his mortgage, if he even has one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianm Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Let's hope not as he's complete dogsh*t, wouldn't mind Riggot on the bench soon though... I agree but he's a lot better than Kilbane! Let's hope we have seen the last of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiffy Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Let's hope not as he's complete dogsh*t, wouldn't mind Riggot on the bench soon though... The manager does not think Pearson is dogshite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 i do wish you wouldn't feel the need have a hate figure.... even if pearson is **** ....he's our **** not sure these attacks will ever help his confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 RamNut makes a good point there. At the moment we are struggling for a hate figure. OK, a few despise Roberts, but his performances since last winter have made it difficult to muster any real bile. Pearson is possibly the favourite to take the poisoned chalice but its doubtful he'll get many games anytime soon. Can't we get Teale back on loan just so we have someone to boo?

Asanovic Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 ...I haven't really got a problem with Pearson. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 well clough cant say anything that bad about a player so chances are he's just saying it for the press. If maguire cant get in the squad (the signing i was most excited about) then surely pearson cant........can he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaffsRam Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Clough also says that Stephen Pearson has started running and should not be far away from joining in training. Phew - that's the only fooking thing he can do at the best of times. Without that he's as much use as Stephen Hawking in a wrestling match.....

awesomecaz Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Why the hate for Stephen? He's saved me many a time on Champ Man, much more than some other big money buys! Never asks for a new contract or moans either 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynny Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 When he puts on a rams shirt he will get my full support, he just isn't the type of player we need at the moment. Leeds match (if Connolly is playing) and that's about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.shilton Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Now we have a bit of pace about the team Pearson is definitely surplus. Theo is the update and he is faster, fitter, younger and actually scores occasionally- also doesn't panic when he gets near the by line and his knees haven't fell off yet (he is much, much funnier too). I think that Kilbane is my least favourite player at the minute. Roberts was but is now looking fairly steady (although he did get done in the last minute when milwall hit the post).

I think most defenders would get done by the pace of N'Gesson or whatever his name was (number 22), a good job his finishing was poor. Could be some player in the future though.
