QuoteTrue - at the time we had a lot of benchwarmers.
imo green is far quicker and agile around the pitch than whelan. whelan seems to struggle to keep up with opposition players from what I have seen.Originally Posted by Stuttgart88
all our players were off the pace (until long came on) that night against russia. i sat thinking that the lack of our players playing for their clubs regularly at the time was a big problem as the russians were far far sharper in everything they did
True - at the time we had a lot of benchwarmers.
Interesting, but do you play Robbie up top on his own?
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Probably - the key is midfield actually getting to grips with a game.
He's never done well in that role, unlike Doyle, Long and Walters. Probably he's better as the more aggressive alternative to Andrews in your formation (though then you're back to something like the Czech game).
You can't spell failure without FAI
Now that Green has inspired comparisons to Billy Bremner, his ante has been raised.
Maybe so. I think we need Andrews having license to get forward though. However, in a 4231 or 451 I'd expect the wide players to be supporting the attack a lot, so Keane wouldn't be isolated - in theory anyway.
Let's not forget, even against 10 man Estonia we spent too much time without the ball until JW scored. It may be effective but my nerves don't like it.
Green set up Derby's equaliser at Birmingham today after Hendrick had battled well to win the ball. Green was also very lucky not to give away a penalty for a late challenge on Zigic and cleared a shot off the line.
Looks like Green is leaving Derby.
Maybe he's hoping to make the squad and prove an attractive free transfer.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
He's going to be an attractive free transfer regardless. Celtic, Leicester and Ipswich were all sniffing around during the January transfer window. My friend over said that apparently he was offered lower wages than he is on now, and said the worst thing is that it looks like he might be going to Leeds (who they hate). DCFC aren't the most ambitious of clubs these days under their much critisised American owners, so at 29 he probably just feels the time is right.

Maybe he'll go to Barcelona like Gary Breen.

Is apparently in discussions with Leeds United. Good move for both parties I'd say. Hope it happens.
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
scored today for Leeds! call him up Trap
I'm sure he will.
The Green Machine equalises at his old club after Conor Sammon put Derby 1-0 up.
Just scored again, must be in line for a recall.
If he maintains current form, dare I say a re-call might even be justified? :P
Leeds playing Chelsea in the cup, Green playing.
I was gonna have a bet on Leeds at about 4-1 as I though they would
do well in a cup match. Wish I had as they have gone 1-0 up.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I though 4-1 was not great value + there is a long way to go.
Paul not involved in the goal.
How do you think that 4/1 looks now?
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Well it looks rubbish, when I saw the fixture I though Leeds might be a good bet, I was expecting them
to be about 9-1 or something like that. I would have had a bet at that price. Fortunately they were 4-1
so my money remained resting in my account
But Leeds are the kind of team who could have a good cup run (which they did) so I guess that's why the
price was so low.
I see it finish 5-1 which is what you might expect for a League One side.
I guess Leeds made the fatal error of going a goal up early on.
I think the trick it to try and keep it tight and nick a late goal leaving Chelsea little time to respond.
