dandannieldanok Posted 17 January 2010 Posted 17 January 2010 He should play. we are struggling to score goals! and he's scoring for other teams, if we aren't going to go in to the transfer market we have to use what options we have. We are struggling to score because of the piss-poor service the strikers get. Putting DJ Campbell back in this team and current system would not work at all.
Sir Alex Ferguson Posted 17 January 2010 Posted 17 January 2010 We are struggling to score because of the piss-poor service the strikers get. Putting DJ Campbell back in this team and current system would not work at all. We haven't scored goals all season, but recently it has become more of a problem, change the system and change the strikers, give others a chance e.g. DJ or Gallagher, as proper strikers.
marbelladave Posted 17 January 2010 Posted 17 January 2010 We haven't scored goals all season, but recently it has become more of a problem, change the system and change the strikers, give others a chance e.g. DJ or Gallagher, as proper strikers. Earlier this season we showed some signs of developing a more constructive passing game, it was these moments that persuaded some of us that we could and would go on to better things. It has been suggested that these hopes were delusional but at the time I think they were quite reasonable considering how well we were playing, at times anyway. As the season developed, these good passages of play became less and less evident and our setup more and more surreal, culminating in the crash to earth pre Christmas. We reverted to basics, long ball to Howard and bounced back, to a degree at least, but the moment we stepped out of this 'comfort zone' (yesterday) we lose to a decent but hardly outstanding side. It is difficult to see what Campbell could bring to this mess that Waghorn does not already provide so for the time being I am happy for Campbell to stay where he is.

The system won't change though unless the manager changes (and before anyone jumps on me I'm not advocating getting shot of Pearson at all), so that's a no go. Whatever happens I just wish the club make a proper decision about his future. If the manager doesn't want him then surely its time to get rid permanently, if he does want him then get him involved in the squad and don't loan him out to championship rivals.

I completely agree mate.
Corky Posted 17 January 2010 Posted 17 January 2010 not going over the top about DJ and i'm not saying he's leicester's 'saviour' , just think we would be better off with him than without surely, when you see he scoring goals for a struggling championship team... No, not really.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 17 January 2010 Posted 17 January 2010 No, not really. Why so? I'm not Campbell's biggest fan, but another option is another option, whether it's in a position we need cover in or not. I know he seems to have fuck all idea how to use his pace, but he does have it, and it's something he'll hold over the likes of Gallagher, Howard, Kermorgant, Fryatt. It's another weapon to have, if he began to score at Derby against teams with more than seven men, and built a bit of confidence, surely he'd be reasonably effective as an impact sub?
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 17 January 2010 Posted 17 January 2010 Seeing the highlights from yesterday, Campbell had a good game, as he was the factor in the two sendings off as well as the goals he scored which were well taken. However, as all should realise, one game does not constitue criteria for a recall, especially as he's hardly likely to start. If you take Fryatt as an almost guaranteed starter, Campbell does not apear to be a great foil for him, so you have to question what the point would be. Rather than recall him, lets hope he scores a few more and convinces a club to take him off our hands, to which we can then use the money elsewhere - there is already 4/6 strikers in and around the first team so I don't think this is where we need to look. Before yesterday we had scored in 12 consecutive games - goalscoring is not a huge problem.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 17 January 2010 Posted 17 January 2010 Why so?I'm not Campbell's biggest fan, but another option is another option, whether it's in a position we need cover in or not. I know he seems to have fuck all idea how to use his pace, but he does have it, and it's something he'll hold over the likes of Gallagher, Howard, Kermorgant, Fryatt. It's another weapon to have, if he began to score at Derby against teams with more than seven men, and built a bit of confidence, surely he'd be reasonably effective as an impact sub? I agree with that. I saw him against Posh yesterday and even before the sendings off (which both times he was the player fouled) he was very good only once offside and Posh couldnt deal with his pace. He got a few flick ons from the fellow striker he was up front with and he ran into the channels and at the defence. I'm not his biggest fan either, but I'd rather see him on the bench knowing he can cause problems as a sub than see him starting for derby every week.
Edmund Posted 17 January 2010 Posted 17 January 2010 Even from the brief highlights yesterday it showed that he had a great game. He ran the show. That was his second goal with his head I believe and what a lovely header it was. It's a shame, if it wasn't for his wages there's no doubt we could use him in our arsenal.
CosbehFox Posted 17 January 2010 Posted 17 January 2010 From my understanding, if we can get James Vaughan back at our place come the end of Jan then DJ will be back with you anyway. Apparently has an attitude problem as well so you'll have your 'saviour' back within a couple of weeks.And save you from what can I ask? 7th in the league, just come up from League 1? I'd understand if our positions were reversed but get real. There's your problem. Moaned and unresponsive in pre-season. Doesn't really deserve his chance when you have lads who have worked their cock off the past two years.
Sir Alex Ferguson Posted 17 January 2010 Posted 17 January 2010 No, not really. why? don't you fancy leicester scoring? you'd sooner it be derby who get the rewards?
Tevez Posted 17 January 2010 Posted 17 January 2010 why? don't you fancy leicester scoring? you'd sooner it be derby who get the rewards? What this guy said.
dandannieldanok Posted 17 January 2010 Posted 17 January 2010 Even from the brief highlights yesterday it showed that he had a great game. He ran the show. Are you talking about the highlights on the football league show?
StanSP Posted 17 January 2010 Posted 17 January 2010 Even from the brief highlights yesterday it showed that he had a great game. He ran the show. That doesn't make sense. If they're brief, how can you tell he 'ran the show' for a full 90?
Chrysalis Posted 17 January 2010 Posted 17 January 2010 seems to me there is some problems with NP and between certian players. Players with talent are not used. DJ adams gradel End of the day we are 7th having not spent much money following promotion so NP is doing something right but I feel we need to rectify a few things before thinking DJ would score in our team, mainly getting 2 decent wing backs who can defend as well as cross the ball. mcgivern and neilson are both our weak links in my opinion. Also I would give waghorn a run in the side alongside fryatt.

Chrysalis Posted 17 January 2010 Posted 17 January 2010 you cant be consistent without a run in the side.
Joe. Posted 17 January 2010 Posted 17 January 2010 you cant be consistent without a run in the side. But surely they'd get one if they were good enough?

That doesn't make sense.If they're brief, how can you tell he 'ran the show' for a full 90? Read above for starters. And secondly it makes perfect sense. I never said he ran the show for the 90 minutes did I. I just said he ran the show in terms that he was the key man to all their goals. You're the only one drawing this conclusion.
maddog Posted 17 January 2010 Posted 17 January 2010 Obviously we need to bring him back for another option. Only Swansea in the top half of the table have scored less goals than us. Fryatts only scored 2 goals since the QPR away game, and when he's not on form we are fooked. Lets have Dj earn his wages with goals for LCFC for a change, rather than earning other clubs points on MMs cash. Howard will be very lucky to score 7 goals in the full season, Kermo hasn't scored yet, imagine what will happen if Sunderland recall Waghorn Gallagher isn't even been played upfront. It's the same old fooking problems with us every game regardless of the results, no width, no pace, no right winger and no cutting edge up front. Pearson should have sorted them out by now but it doesn't look like he is even trying, still playing players out of position and still loaning out players like Adams and Gradel and Campbell who all have pace. Kaboom we will finish in the bottom half unless changes are made, which i wouldn't have minded pre-season but with the start we've had and the points we've collected despite not setting the world alight would now be disappointing.
Head Honcho Posted 17 January 2010 Posted 17 January 2010 What a complete and utter crock of shite. You are suggesting we don't play him in case he is too good and we can not afford him even though we bought him. You must have too much time on your hands to come up with that. Perhaps you can explain why he was still with us when we signed the 2 on loan in the first place? Woosh! You've totally missed my point. I think you make a habit of doing this don't you? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else We have a wage budget and Pearson needs shot of Campbells share of it to enable him to finance the loans we have. If he'd given Campbell the opportunity and he'd made an impression then getting rid of him without the chagrin of the fans would've been impossible. We'd only signed the two on loan until the new year we now have them for the rest of the season maybe this is due to the fact that Gradel Adams and Campbell are out on loan because I seriously doubt we'd have them here if they weren't.
teblin Posted 17 January 2010 Posted 17 January 2010 The only reason i'd have DJ at the club as he gives something different to the other strikers. Teams wouldn't be as able to play such a high line against us and not worry about pace.
Fox You Forest Posted 17 January 2010 Posted 17 January 2010 He's scored two and looked to have had a decent game against the worst side in the division who had nine men, recall him he could save us.
