Taylor10 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Both for me I am afraid. Very good technically to be fair. Although he has weighed in with a few decent goals, for me, he has not been a good signing for us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendip City Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Unfit but also not used correctly. Why didn't we get a loan replacement for Stead and the perma-injured Baldock. SOD's explanations of everything seem to go missing on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roe Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Why didn't we get a loan replacement for Stead and the perma-injured Baldock. SOD's explanations of everything seem to go missing on that one. Because we're trying to cut money, and rightly so. Luckily we've got a highly rated manager who appreciates that and people still wanna pick holes in what he's trying to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we're trying to save money but you do need to field a team and bench..... If you had any aspiration of staying up. The very least we could have not loaned Burns.

HoldenBall Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 There's a reason Derby sold him. Doesn't offer anything else for the team apart from 10 goals a season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I had high hopes of Davies. When he scored 8 goals in 11 games back in Sept - Nov I thought we had ourselves a player. However, for me he's been poor since then. Only completed 90 mins on 7 occasions. Listening to the commentary of the Derby game last week on Rams Player, the commentators were laughing at the bloke - they were glad to have been shot of him. As I said, I honestly thought he would be great for us, but I'm afraid, for me, he's just not cut it for the majority of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltfordRed Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Davies isn't a player who will run 10k a game for you, that isn't his strength. He is classy on the ball, and has great technique. We are simply not playing to his strengths, he's not a loan front man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are simply not playing to his strengths, he's not a loan front man. I know that is mainly the case, but it's turning into an excuse for are endless line of under performing strikers.. Baldock has had many chances to stick it in the net, but misses.. same as davies. I'm afraid it's the quality of the striker iswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Humble Realist Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Without defending Davies too much....he is our top scorer (i think) and he hasn't played as many mins as our other strikers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendip City Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 When you break it down, we bought a reject from a club at our level and, surprise surprise, he's not all that great. Funnily enough Nigel Clough's judgement of a player was better than McInnes's. Also if we wanted a Pitman-a-like why didn't we keep and play Pitman.

LocoPal Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Davies isn't a 90 minute player right now... might never be either!!... Wes Burns should have been on the bench, ready to replace him and not be at FG bloomin Rovers... bad decision SOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Hes a good player, but he seems to lack a little speed (not pace, but reaction speed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanatic Red Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Bang on Same goes for Pearson He had a new contract, Clough and all the fans wanted to keep him and viewed him as their best striker... it was Davies who wanted to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle bad touch Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 He is an alcoholic. The club sent him to rehab last year. I don't know if his treatment was successful (not the sort of thing they put on the OS), but that's the reason he looks so lethargic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superjack Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Is it me or is he as slow and lethargic today as the day he joined?another poor expensive signing.To think GJ turned down Kevin Phillips as he was too old-what a joke this club has become with probably the most and worst signings I can remember.Oh and how is Brett pitman doing since we bombed him out for peanuts?pathetic and embarrasing. You do realise that the reasons that a lot of City fans didn't rate Pitman and were not unhappy when he left are the very same reasons that you are applying to Davies? For the record, I was always a Pitman fan and was gutted when we let him go... ...I am also a Davies fan.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like his performance at Wolves.He gave up completely in the second half.He is half the player that John Stead is.Waste of money but then again look at the idiot that signed him.

Luckily we've got a highly rated manager who appreciates that and people still wanna pick holes in what he's trying to do. trying to save money? is that why we signed Brian Howard and never use him? couldn't a striker have been loaned in with that money and the wages we're saving with 3 out on loan?
