Taylor Fletcher Vs Lloyd Dyer

[Pearson Nigel]

A question for all you City social network would be managers ?

Taylor Fletcher was given a year contract... Not played and has been fooooked off as not wanted (so now on loan never to be seen again??)

Loyld Dyer only offered a one year deal wanted two year deal and he left!" so is currently on the bench at Watford ladies!?

So in My opinion we could have had a good impact player on the bench in Dyer with not bothering to extend Taylor Fletcher's contract and giving loyal Loyld an extra year as wished?

I would appreciate your thoughts you lovely boys and errr girls? ( I have to be PC these days and include everyone)

Up the foxes ( I hope so, as we can go no further down)

GTF got an automatic extension due to a clause in his contract Dyer turned down the offer made to him, you want to moan about him leaving then blame HIM it was his choice

[Pearson Nigel]

Ahh inside knowledge must have a inside track!?

Are you a bloooody agent or what?

If yes get us a decent centre back and decent centre forward.

Still think Loyld deserved a two year deal..... Bet you forget how many games over a lot of years he played for us!

See ya later special agent Jimmy lad

Given that Lloyd was ripping the championship to pieces 12 months ago it seems like an obvious mistake to let him go. But how can't he get in Watford's team, unless he's on a quite sharp decline. Let's face it, the minute he's lost a yard of pace, he's had it, and at his age, it could have already happened.

Do we really have to bring up Dyer AGAIN. Lloyd Dyer was offered a one year deal where he'd probably have been playing more than he has been for the club he joined instead, in a higher division. He turned that down to secure his long term future, rather than gambling and going short term. For me, he bottled it. I don't think he genuinely believed he was good enough for this level and as a result chose to join Watford.

 

There's every possibility Watford could be promoted in the next two seasons, though his lack of game time there suggests he'll probably be off anyway at some point.

 

Last year was Dyer's best year, but don't that he was far from a regular when Mahrez was brought in. It was Knockaert & Mahrez out wide.

 

I'm not quite sure how Schlupp has managed to force Knockaert out of the team as he hasn't done any better than him, for me.

 

But yeah... Dyer's gone. We didn't replace him like we should've done. That was a bigger fault than letting him go.

[Pearson Nigel]

All about opinions moosey mint breath, yours is a valid one old son! But my spy's says he is still has pace, but does not like the fascist regime there and misses playing for us boys.......

My Inside knowledge......The Force is strong with moi!

; )

[Pearson Nigel]

Cunning spam head.... Not sure I agree... He had a lot of good seasons.... Is he the reason we are where we are? No of course not super spam.... We all know that....... But I liked Loyld he was super quick and even when he played poorly.... He sometimes managed to unlock a defense

So yeah he was worth 2 beers instead of one!

Cheers for your input Spam Jam you cunning man!

I agree we have to move on but I think letting him leave was one of the biggest mistakes we have made in years

[Richard]

Watford gave him a 3 year deal, to be honest he'd be an idiot to then that down. He could came and sat on out bench for a season in the prem then been released and possibly retired, or set himself up for retirement courtesy of a ridiculous 3 year contract at Watford.

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

Brilliant, another Lloyd Dyer thread.

[Vardinhio]

Llllooyyydddddd :xmasblink:

[J.Lisemore]

As has been mentioned, he was offered a one-year deal and refused it, so its not like he didn't have his chance in the Prem... Watford made him a better-longer offer and that's that.

 

Although ffs if it means us playing Jeff Schlupp at left-wing for the rest of the season, I'd love if he came back.

Yeah let's blame our joint second top scorer and possibly out top assist man of the season so far.

For all his skill and flare Mahrez has been no more effective then jeff...

[J.Lisemore]

Come off it mate, our top scorer bla bla bla. I'm sure he's a top lad but he's just not that good is he, It's not only him but there's a reason why we're bottom of this league, the lack of quality compared to other sides in our starting line-up is poor.

Aren't the 3 or 4 previous "why didn't we keep Lloyd Dyer" threads enough to discuss this subject?

[Bayfox]

why, if at all possible do I get the feeling foxes talk just took a turn for the worst.

Nah, silly season's around the corner. Threads like that should be expected.

 

There'll be worse.

[Stadt]

Don't forget that Lloyd picked an injury last season, a player at his age with skill set was never going to be worth a long term deal.

[Dickov22]

Dyer is better than Schlupp. Of that I'm sure.

[deep blue]

Dyer is better than Schlupp. Of that I'm sure.

For me, the worst consequence of Dyer leaving is that we are having to play Konch at LB. There are many detractors of Schlupp on here who will disagree, and I would concede that he still has a lot to learn as a defender, but he won the shirt from Konch on merit last season and formed good left wing partnerships with Dyer and then Mahrez.

Now, if NP favours a speedy LW in his formation, Schlupp is his only option. So, apart from a few games, this has taken Schlupp out of contention for the LB slot.

I think that Schlupp still has potential as a Prem LB (his speed, strength, ability in the air, quickness of feet and ability to pick a quick forward pass are among his assets, and he is superior to Konch in those aspects) but his biggest lack is in experience and to improve in that area he needs regular games as our LB, as was demonstrated last season.

Great post. Schlupp at left back without a doubt for me.

[Guest MattP]

At the time I would have offloaded Dyer as I didn't see him as anywhere near good enough for this level, behind Knocky, Albrihgton and Mahrez with an expectation of another quality wide addition.

 

As others have said though, had I known Schulpp would be in the starting XI I would have made a case for keeping Dyer as he is no worse than him.

[Guest MattP]

Yeah let's blame our joint second top scorer and possibly out top assist man of the season so far.

For all his skill and flare Mahrez has been no more effective then jeff...

 

So because Vardy and Nugent keep missing one on ones it makes Mahrez no more effective than Jeff? Come on. At least we don't have to put up with the opposition supporters openly laughing at us as well with Riyad like the Eveton and Villa fans do after Schulpp shoots with a technique that makes Akinbiyi look cultured.

 

One shouldn't be in our team, one is being chased by Villarreal and Roma, do the Maths.

It's almost as though people have forgotten how infuriating and frustrating Lloyd could be and his usual hibernation period between November and March.

 

I like the bloke, enjoyed watching him play but, as usual, he's improved hugely since he left in the eyes of some.

If we had Dyer at the minute I personally think he'd be getting in our team. He's a better version of Schlupp. In truth though we should be aiming for better than both.

I agree we have to move on but I think letting him leave was one of the biggest mistakes we have made in years

 

Not replacing him properly was the bigger mistake.
