RIB Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Couldn't see a thread regarding the Hendrick injury. For me this a big blow for our midfield.

trooper Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 And now he fits in with the rest of the squad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsmini Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Perhaps he needs a rest anyway.. So Paul Green back into midfield , Brayford at RB and Davies/Cywka out wide I would say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Paul Green back into midfield , Brayford at RB and Davies/Cywka out wide I would say A big dip in quality Hendrick to Green in midfield, big blow this with 3 tough matches. This Leeds game is a big match, we will be big underdogs in the next 2 and Hull outclassed us totally not long ago at home. Lose the Leeds game and we might be sliding too close to the relegation zone again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Good, maybe we can get some proper midfielder in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JW- Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I think a rest will do Jeff good. Hopefully he will not be rushed back unlike other players this year and then break down again. However this news means that Ben Davies will probably come back into the team for the Leeds game.

rsmini Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Its a massive loss to loose Hendrick, Green has been playing very well recently and can play CM. What other options do we have at CM? Leeds is a massive game and they aint doing to well at the moment. We beat them last season and we can do it again. West Ham are beatable, like anybody is in this league. bring em on I say...

EastKentRam Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Not a major loss really, he's been poor the last few games i've seen him. Too higher expectations on the lad at the moment, give him a rest and get him back fresh. Will be good for him and the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see how getting injured can do anyone any good and he is 19, should be fit as a butchers dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's a major loss he is our most complete midfielder by far and CM is the most important area on the park. Green has played 100 plus games for us CM and has rarely lifted himself above adequate. Consequently I don't expect great things from him there, he does though produce the odd very good game so let's hope it's Boxing Day plus he and Bryson are very similar in style.

RotherhamRam Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I think we will move to 442 or 4231 now i think we have no choice with players fit 442 would be ---------------Fielding----------------- Brayford-Barker-Shackell-Roberts Green---Bailey---Bryson---Ward ------Robinson---Tyson/Ball------ 4231 would be ---------------Fielding----------------- Brayford-Barker-Shackell-Roberts -----------Bailey---Green----------- Tyson--------Bryson--------Ward-- --------------Robinson/Ball-------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might stick with that as Green is hopeless right-mid but his best position is right-back. Not ideal but possibly the best we can offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to get your tongue out of Hendricks arse, he isnt as good as you think he is. Being our most complete midfielder is nothing to shout about, the rest of them are just as average at this level as Hendrick is. It's an area we've been weak in for years now and nothing has been done about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an area we've been weak in for years now and nothing has been done about it. He is good and has produced some decent performances. Nigel's comments about him being distracted about his contract (making money) are a worry. He needs to be focusing at his developing game totally at this stage to reach his potential. He has matured quite late and can't lose any more time. I agree being our best midfielder is not a great accolade because I think all the others could do with replacing.

Guest Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Hopefully if will mean Green will move back into midfield now, he to me is still a better player than Hendrick at this moment in time, and it will be intresting when taking the Derby County blinkers off and not taking how much they get paid into consideration which one has the better chance of making it the the Euros.

'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' /> The only thing that could be good from this regarding Ben Davies is that maybe he will be played in a central/attacking midfield like he did at Notts County. Hendrick has been off form as of late so the rest hopefully will do him good - as long as it doesn't turn into more than a few weeks like a lot of the other injured players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrick is a class above Green already and he has only played 20 games. The two things I look for in a midfielder most and I look at this in the kids is do they panic under pressure on the ball Green does and so does Bryson, Hendrick is always confident when under severe pressure. Also how much do they get on the ball and this is what Hendrick needs to work on, he goes missing at times but no worse than the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's your view, fair enough, but I see a midfielder that at the moment is average in this league, he as yet has not taken a grip of the midfield and I can only really remember 1 cutting pass he has made. He also as you say goes missing a lot of the time, don't get me wrong, hopefully he will become a very good player for us, but over the past 10 odd games to me he has floundered greatly. Green though to me is a different player to what we have got in their at the moment, and the 3 players that have been in their recently have all been to similar for me, just my humble opinion of course which I'm sure is wrong '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...

Green in my view is best at right-back he has always been decent when he has played there last season and this, I would keep him there unless the opposition has a lightning winger. Nigel says Brayford is comfortable playing a midfield role and he is certainly more comfortable and imaginative in possession than anybody on the books.
