Matt Posted 11 August 2007 Share Posted 11 August 2007 Reading the post match thread I see many have now changed the mind saying why is he playing e.t.c...Welcome to reality! Get him out! Yes he has improved I admitted that last week, thing is his improvment is only slight, and even if he has improved it still doesn't work, please we need to get rid of him! I'll pay another club to take him of our hands if that's what it takes. He may be fitter but he's still slow, he may have improved but he still can't turn, head consistantly (i.e only 1 in 5 balls), and shoot (Mind you he did have one good shot today) De Vries, What's the verdict? Yey or Nay? A big fat Nay for me, I know it's only one game, and I spose we do need to give him more than one game but it's the same old question we seem to keep asking how long do we give him?! Thing is no matter how much he improves he's still got people like me (and many other) who simply just don't like him, and has to win us over...

Milky Posted 11 August 2007 Share Posted 11 August 2007 He's pretty crap, and he encourages the hoof. Hume and DJ are Top Gun, always have been, always will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB11 Posted 11 August 2007 Share Posted 11 August 2007 Today's performance by him was the best I've seen of him. Too people have too much expectation... we're not Man Utd. we're bloody Leicester City, a team who has struggled in the Championship for consecutive seasons.

dandannieldanok Posted 11 August 2007 Share Posted 11 August 2007 I was bewildered Martin Allen started him and left his £2million pound man on the bench, what do we have to do to get shot of this guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 11 August 2007 Share Posted 11 August 2007 I'm not one of the people who were praising him before, but tbf he was no worst than a lot today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simi Posted 11 August 2007 Share Posted 11 August 2007 I expect to see a Mattock out thread as well tonight, he is loved by many as well. He didn't do that bad today, yes he encourages the hoof. At times he held up the ball well and found a team mate when he'd got it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zingari Posted 11 August 2007 Share Posted 11 August 2007 MDV had quite a good game i thought that snapshot in the first half looked top drawer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simi Posted 11 August 2007 Share Posted 11 August 2007 1 match...Out of how many? But I thought everyone had given him a clean slate? So that would make it 1 out of 1! De Vries playing is not the reason we lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartonFox Posted 11 August 2007 Share Posted 11 August 2007 de Vries and Campbell should be our front 2 on that showing today. The big man was the pick of our forwards today even though none of them managed to score. I fail to see what he did so wrong compared to Hume or Campbell More things happened today with de Vries in the side then occured for the whole of last season.

alanf0x Posted 11 August 2007 Share Posted 11 August 2007 Nay for me. De Vries has done an excellent job in getting into shape for this season but he doesn't offer enough for the 1st team. If we want to move on to bigger and better things we need to move the big man out of the team. Can you see him scoring the 20+ goals that a team needs to get out of this division........no chance! Fair play to the chap for coming back to the club where he was laughed and booed at and showing more determination than the likes of Hughes and Maybury but he is clearly no better than the likes of Elvis of this world. When Campbell is back up to match fitness i can see him and Hume providing us with a strong strikeforce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted 11 August 2007 Share Posted 11 August 2007 Whats people problem, fair play to MDV i say. He's been transfer listed, most players wouldn't give a shit and just rot in the reserves until he gets his next pay cheque.. But hes come back lost weight and shown the desire and hunger that he wants to play first team football again and prove MA wrong. MDV has shown great attitude and I think he deserves a fair crack at being int he first team to prove he can score regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 11 August 2007 Share Posted 11 August 2007 How does MDV encourage the long ball? Does the threaten players with a knee job, does he bribe them to lob long balls up the middle of course he doesn't. If players are hoofing the ball up to him criticise them not him, it's their fault not his. As for DJ, yes he looks a good prospect and got himself into good position but at the moment he can't score either, he's missed much better chances than MDV, some created by MDV. MDV is no footballing god but he does the job he's asked to do, clamouring for a Hume/DJ partnership is waste of time, Allen wants the big guy there to get in people's faces and that's what he's does, it's up to the like of Hume or DJ to feed off that, up to now they've not taken their chance and they are as culpable as MDV for the lack of goals, as is Allen's insistence on playing without recognised wingers.

Come off it barton, you've just got a bee up your arse about Hume. If DeVries played every game this season he wouldn't get 10 goals. The only reason people are saying he did well is because the rest played so poorly. If he's the best striker for us this season then it's relegation for sure.

MDV has shown great attitude and I think he deserves a fair crack at being int he first team to prove he can score regularly. But let's face it if he doesn't make it his career is almost as good as over, no other club has come in for him obviously, and he is out of contract at the end of this season, that pay cheque could be running out soon.... Nah as everyone says fair play he's got fit, he's got into shape, he's improved (slightly) and this sounds because we ain't the best that's evident but he just isn't good enough for us, but thanks for trying MdV!

C-man Posted 11 August 2007 Share Posted 11 August 2007 I thought he was quality today. Obviously he still isn't the most talented player in the world, but he gave his all, held the ball up well and showed some nice touches here and there. He also won some headers... One thing I noticed today was the lack of Hume's movement when we have the ball. I have always thought he's our hardest working player, and he does work very hard when we haven't got it. I just think we need more movement up front. I liked seeing MA switch to 4-3-3 and then 3-4-3; finally a manager who dares to change formation. We looked better with DJ, MDV and IH up there, and I'd start with them up at Stanley on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 9 in 2/3's of a season is a bad return when the superstar gets 4 more in a full season If you are slagging off de Vries for his performance today I'd love to know what Hume did that was so good.
