And I think a lot of clubs higher up are now seeing this as well.
He was great for two or three months and then turned into one of our worst ever signings. One memorable night, at Leeds, was about all we got from him once the ‘honeymoon period’ was over if I remember correctly.Quote:

I still think he should have played in the playoff final it was a mistake not to start him. Waghorn should have come of the bench if it wasnt working.
I dont think he liked it here but there wasnt a queue to sign him and he ended up back at Peterboro which says a lot in hindsight.
Oh and Sheff Weds fans dont rate him either... :O
Neither Jack nor Waggy was considered fit enough to start at Wembley. That's the reason they were both on the bench.Quote:

My two observations on saturday for what its worth:
In amongst his plaudits, LR states that the way the team plays is down to him. If he believes that that 'way' should include starting attacks using someone who isn't a footballer (sorry keepers but you/we aren't) he needs help
Likewise it appears to have passed the coaching staff by that Collins is just no use in the air, when Wildsmith by some miracle did hoy the ball in Collins' direction his ability to jump proved to be worse than Les Green's, and that applies for earlier games as well
Speak for yourself. As someone who spent half or more of his "career" between the sticks, I was a keeper playing the sweeping role back in the 90s and with some success. It didn't help that, in my 40s, I was the youngest of the "back 5". I went for through balls and balls over the top of the back 4 at a pace just quick enough to get there first. No point in giving away my speed early doors. Next one was a bit further away from goal. Again I'd get there first, just. How sharper the pass, the quicker I went. Much to the chagrin of the oppo. Often took the oppo until well into the 2nd half to work out that that tactic wasn't going to work.Quote:

If you'll allow me to rephrase, he's the worst footballer (with ball at feet) in the Derby team. Even if he had the inate footballing ability of the others which he probably hasn't, he hasn't got the years of practise, mentally and physically, to do the right thing with the ball. Just IMOQuote:
