OriginalRobboFOX Posted 24 September 2013 Posted 24 September 2013 Great game tonight but the whole Nidge selection policy got me thinking. He was saying on RL that it would be better for some of the other lads in reserve to get a bit of game time. But why not Conrad? Granted you might think he's gash but if Kasper goes tits up or gets injured then rusty Conrad is in. Not sure why if Nidge don't fancy him he didn't look for better cover on loan or on a free. It's the only area of the team that concerns me at present.

It's the only area of the team that concerns me at present. I think if Kasper didn't make that error on saturday, Nigel would have rested him tonight. However i think Nigel wanted to probably get rid of any negativity from that out of his head, if you get my drift. If he had picked either Conrad or young adam smith it would looked as if he was dropped due to that error.
KFS Posted 24 September 2013 Posted 24 September 2013 You're right to be concerned. I watched Conrad against Liverpool U21s, and you'd basically concede with every shot on goal at Champ level. He's a fantastic servant, I love him, but he's got little ability in comparison to Kasper. Adam Legzdins at Derby would be good backup, but he'd only come if we were in the prem.
Leicester Lass Posted 24 September 2013 Posted 24 September 2013 If Kasper gets injured/suspended then we'd get someone in on an emergency loan.
kingfox Posted 24 September 2013 Posted 24 September 2013 I'd like to see Smith given a game He plays in midfield
Al-aLondon-Foxile Posted 24 September 2013 Posted 24 September 2013 Logan plays all the non first team games so he's match fit and ready, and maybe after Kaspers mess up at the end of the Blackpool game NP felt it would be good for him to have a game & get it out of his system (if there was any hangover). Possibly he wanted him behind what was otherwise a mixed up and new defence. Not bothered really, but if I'm honest I'd rather we start our best 11 each game, get into a winning position then rest a few. Winning breads confidence and players don't feel so tired as they do if we lose.
Fox92 Posted 24 September 2013 Posted 24 September 2013 Regardless of Kasper's mistake at Blackpool, I personally think he was playing tonight. Derby are a decent Championship side and I believe it's a big gamble to play Conrad. I don't rate Logan at all, I have no confidence in his ability.
OriginalRobboFOX Posted 24 September 2013 Author Posted 24 September 2013 Some good points. Although a loyal servant (but it's easy to be a loyal servant picking up a couple of grand a week for chilling on the bench) I too think he's gash and would be very concerned if Kasper was injured/suspended.
Guest MattP Posted 24 September 2013 Posted 24 September 2013 The team that started was going to struggle enough without putting Logan in as well.
sdb Posted 24 September 2013 Posted 24 September 2013 Logan is too big of a drop in quality, plus he's happy as a no.2 and Kasper will want to play every game.
Isopen Posted 24 September 2013 Posted 24 September 2013 With a back 4 that had never played together before it was logical for Kasper to command from the back, certainly good to see him pushing the line to the edge of the penalty area towards the end of the game when facing free kicks
Leicesterpool Posted 24 September 2013 Posted 24 September 2013 Who do most people prefer Logan or Smith?
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 24 September 2013 Posted 24 September 2013 Better to have Logan coming in 'rusty' for the remainder of any game where Kasper gets injured or sent off than to put him in tonight and go out of the cup. Logan will only ever play the remainder of a game where he comes on from the bench. Any injury/suspension and within a couple of days we'd have someone in on an emergency loan.
red5 Posted 24 September 2013 Posted 24 September 2013 Kasper had a bet on city to win, so no way was he letting Logan play
Ric Flair Posted 25 September 2013 Posted 25 September 2013 Smith has looked utter muck for the U21's in the 3 games i've seen this season and if Kasper ever gets injured then Logan will come on for the remainder of the match and then an emergency loan will be made.
Guesty Posted 25 September 2013 Posted 25 September 2013 Logan must be purely there to cover the rest of a game if Kasper gets injured or maybe deputise for 1 game if Kasper gets two yellows. I'm pretty sure as soon as Kasper (god forbid it doesn't happen) got injured Steve Walsh or the DoF would be looking into the loan market for a replacement before the final whistle. I'd even go as far to say if Kasper got a 3 game suspension they'd go into the loan market.
Mack Posted 25 September 2013 Posted 25 September 2013 I've said since the summer we need a quality young understudy for Kasper to mentor. I cant think of a better role model for any young talented keeper. Logan is a lower league player, and if Kasper got injured and was out for more than one or two games we would be in shit, unless we could loan in fast.
Manwell Pablo Posted 25 September 2013 Posted 25 September 2013 Great game tonight but the whole Nidge selection policy got me thinking.

It's the only area of the team that concerns me at present. Nah, not for long anyway. We'd be straight into the emergency loan market. He's literally here to see out any game or short term absentees anything longer than 3-4 games we'd get an alternative.
chris_lcfc_85 Posted 25 September 2013 Posted 25 September 2013 This gets boring.... Conrad is an able deputy and doesnt throw his toys out despite not playing. He's ok but nothing special so just leave it be..... If Kasper got injured im sure NP would get a loan keeper
muzzy1981 Posted 25 September 2013 Posted 25 September 2013 We can't expect to have a top class replacement in the champ, premiership yes. Logan is match fit from player regularly in the reserves and has league experience when he was on loan at Bristol rovers where apparently he played well.
Jace Posted 25 September 2013 Posted 25 September 2013 Corad should get a game soon he has his testimonial coming up shortly
Bilsthorpe Blue Posted 25 September 2013 Posted 25 September 2013 Corad should get a game soon he has his testimonial coming up shortly Nah Kasper will play in this game or we'll get an emergancy loan in!
OriginalRobboFOX Posted 25 September 2013 Author Posted 25 September 2013 This gets boring....Oh ok. I'm sorry. What are you? The thread police. I can see that FT is littered with Logan threads. Not. It's just a query whether people see him as an able deputy or not. So now I'll leave you to carry on policing the internet.
