cc_star Posted 27 February 2013 Share Posted 27 February 2013 What a player. I know we win as a team & lose as a team.... except when we hang scapegoats from the nearest lamppost. Alongside Big Wes... Drinkwater is Mr Consistent And still only 22, with loads of room to grow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alongside Big Wes... Drinkwater is Mr Consistent And still only 22, with loads of room to grow pffffttttt I'd argue that. He's quite prone to a bad game a month or so. And the problem is when he's bad it has an effect on the rest of the team. Defintley one of this seasons top performers though. One of the main reasons we are where we are.

Alongside Big Wes... Drinkwater is Mr Consistent And still only 22, with loads of room to grow I said after a couple of games I'd seen him, he's the future of our midfield. Just a shame he don't score more goals but he's the engine room of our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 27 February 2013 Share Posted 27 February 2013 When he moves the ball around quickly he's such an asset. The problem comes when he takes too long to pass and often goes backwards more than forwards. Last night he was quick and thoughtful in possession, and the amount of times he robs the ball from players without diving or lunging in is fantastic.

Freeman's Wharfer Posted 27 February 2013 Share Posted 27 February 2013 pffffttttt I'd argue that. He's quite prone to a bad game a month or so. And the problem is when he's bad it has an effect on the rest of the team. Defintley one of this seasons top performers though. One of the main reasons we are where we are. Agreed. Although it showed massively away at Huddersfield in the cup that without him we struggle in the middle. He makes us tick so when he plays badly our whole game is affected. But hopefully, with time, he'll be able to maintain the high standards for longer periods. He certainly has done so more often this season than last. For me, him, Morgan and De Laet have been our stand-out performers of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornyhollthefox123 Posted 27 February 2013 Share Posted 27 February 2013 Big fan of him, and he was class last night. But he's been shite for the last month before last night. Have to agree though, when he plays well we play well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always tell when DD's had a bad game, cos Kingy gets an absolute kicking on here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom17LCFC Posted 28 February 2013 Share Posted 28 February 2013 I've noticed when he has an off day the team don't perform. When he plays well we win, integral part of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxfordfox83 Posted 28 February 2013 Share Posted 28 February 2013 Like the Mark Draper pic mate.. Thanks chief! When I found it, I checked his stats and couldn't believe how little he played/scored for us. Must have been my age at the time, but he cast a long shadow...

Cobbo Posted 28 February 2013 Share Posted 28 February 2013 He's the new Wellens it seems - integral to our play with the ball, when he's on form & finding his passes we're very threatening throughout. When he's not quite on his games, passes go astray & we struggle retaining the ball & building pressure. Exactly the case as with Wellens when he was a regular starter. I'm hoping with Drinkwater the consistency will improve as he gains further experience. Certainly a great prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After years of our biggest spend being £350k it seemed like we might actually push the boat out and compete in the top flight. It didn't quite work out like that though. These days we rarely spend less than £1 million on a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
