adamD Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 me and dad were just haveing a chat about shaun barker and we thought he would be a good CDM hes mobile hes good at takling he knows how to pass and the can motivate the midfield might be comeplete balls but does anyone reckon he could play there cuz in my opinon O'Brian and shakell are amazing individually and as a pair aand it would be unwise to seperarte them '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...
Perky1106 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 No I don't think he would. Why change the midfield or the defence when it works? When he comes back from injury he is going to have to win his place back and work hard in training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamD Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 well hendriks bailey and bryson are the only cm's we havee and cloughs been looking for a strong, experienced player to play there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 He should get used to the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorksopRam Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I don't think he's particularly mobile, or a great passer of the ball... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram2767 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 He's our captain. He won't be on the bench. The competition for CB will bring the best out of him and he'll regain his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 If he plays like he did last season he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfb Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I think that the defence CB in particular looks solid, wish we could get in 'another Brayford', for the other side, then i think the back 5 (gk) look good, with competition/cover for places. I think CDM is a 'specialist' position, and i'm not sure Barker/leacock/Addison can do it ?? It suggests a 4-1-4-1, or a 4-1-3-2 formation,which we could do but........... food for thought though.

CumbrianRam Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Don't think we will be seeing much (if anything) from Leacock and Addison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 If he plays like he did last season he will. He won't play like he did last season. For two very good reasons: 1.) He can train. The only training Barker got was the pre-match warm-up last season. 2.) He'll have two feet! Last season he couldn't pivot or pass with his left foot. We only had three feet between our two centre halves. It's difficult to grasp just how unfit Barker was last season. But all the same, he's not a DM. He's not good enough at carrying the ball and his best attriubute is defensive heading, which would be made redundant in the centre of the field.

I agree CR, just saying that outside OB and Shackell,who seem solid, if were are discussing playing a CDM then who amongst our ranks might do the job,cos NC isnt going to buy one....... surely a CF is an absolute must, before a CDM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be fantastic to get 'another Brayford' at LB. We've needed one for ages and its the one position in the back 4 we lack. Surely theres one out there and its only a matter of time till we get him??????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Teale Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I think I've heard it all now. Barker as a centre mid? Madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I actually think you may be on to something here, I also think riggott when fit could be the other centre forward we could do with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Teale Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Well riggott did play up front when he was a kid, then moved into midfield at 13 and didn't move to centre half until 16. Why don't we move Theo to left back, he could be like ashley cole with his pace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfb Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 whilst we're talking b@llocks, NC was a goal machine, maybe, just maybe........... Adam, its fine for you and your dad to discus idea about solving some of what you see as Derby's problems, but as we have all found to our cost on any forum, suggest something thats 'blue sky thinking', and you will solicit some ire...

Dcfc_Sterling Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I don't think we should worry about the Defense or Midfield, we've got to worry about the strikers because we haven't got a goal scorer, Theo Robinson or Steven Davies don't stand out as goalscorers for me.
