B4ev6is Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 alright then but have he would be okay as for a defender that rate of 8 goals is not bad, defanders are not known for goal scoreing but i think he would tight our defance a little bit more.

ANGERMAN1 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 craig mackail smith was fantastic today, he'd cost a bomb but hes top notch He was fantastic. Missed some chances that he 'should' easily have slotted away, But what a sign of determination to keep plugging and not let it unsettle you. That sort of thinking is the type of players that every club needs. Never write themselves off as having 'a bad day at the office' and plug away and make amends.

Crozzling Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Anybody else see the story printed on the telegraph about Glick claiming next season wasn't make or break for the Rams? I kind of got the impression that the big, impressive squad overhaul they promised isn't going very well so he is pre empting the inevitable criticism already. I renewed my ST but I dearly hope we aren't going to experience another season of pushing for 50 points. I'm not expecting us to win the league or anything crazy, I just want Derby to be competitive for once in a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rynny Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 It could be down to the fact that so many people were going on about how much of a disaster it will be if we don't finish top 6 and how clough/glick/both need to go if we aren't in the play offs at least?

Im unsure about Mackail Smith, yes he's scored a lot of goals but for a very successful Peterborough team in League 1 & 2 who constantly attack and create **** loads of chances. The times i've seen him he's had a lot of chances and normally stuck at least one away, coming to a side like us who arent as attacking, currently havent got any creativity and up against better players i dont think he'll be effective. Could be way off the mark but just a hunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastKentRam Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 That's my thinking what Glenn Murray. I just think that Mackail-Smith offers something different, as well as goals. Mackail Smith offers running/work rate as well as goals. Similar to how Murray brings more of an aerial threat and the ability to bring other plays into the game. Difference is i could see Mackail Smith turning into a bit of a Tito Villa, works his b*llocks off and the fans love him for it but just doenst quite cut it on the goal scoring front. But then if Murray didnt score, he'd be more of Kuqi in that he does offer something useful that helps the team score goals. All ifs and buts and we'll see how both get on next season, i think we made the right decision not to get Murray (if we were interested in him at all), too much of a risk.

samtheram83 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Jack Cork is apparently going to southapton according to his Wiki but could be going to burnley or florist acocrding to sky. he's looked really good when i've seen him and isn't going to be at chelsea next year. can play lb, rb, cb, dm or cm and has been known to put a shift in on the wings. sounds like he fits the bill perfectly but he will be one of those players in a few years where i say to myself "should have signed him" while he plays well for a mid table club and impresses and gets sold on for 5,6,7 times what was paid for him.

ShermanCardenas Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 top player, but we rarely seem to sign highly rated players these days. Chelsea only want around £800k for him, Burnley are favourites for him as hes played two seasons for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
