Matchday thread: Rams v Port Vale

[Geoff Parkstone]

The positive is he defiantly has a style in mind amd ylu can see that albeit its very disjointed and we dont have the legs to go 90 minutes

If we dont see the back of Mendez, Barkhuizen and Bird in January and replaced with more suitable personnel types then that will be the time to worry because its obvious those three arent suited to this new way of playing esp in a 352 with wing backs (I like Mendez but hes no wing back and thats said with hindsight involved)

And we’re going to need to say ta ra to Chester, Stearman and Davies as well because we’re going to need legs and energy in that back 3 and thats a priority so Clowes needs to back his man now after giving him a 4 year contract

I guess we will be getting linked with a fair few in January

And I think Mcgoldrick will be another to be for the chopping block as well. So its going to be another busy January and summer transfer fest no doubt

I think the summer was a needs must type transfer freebie rush but now Clowes is in and got his own man team in hes now stamped his own mark on the club and hired his own man etc

Like I said the one positive is you can see how Warne wants to olay and im all for it as long as hes able to get his own players in, we might just have to accept a bit of short term frustration though.

So that's just 7 out then? Not sure how we achieve that as they are all on contracts to end of season at least and six of them were hardly in demand in the summer if they had to come to us!!

I did wonder the same thing...and I don’t see how the players mentioned have suddenly become bad against supposedly less talented opposition.
