Esmond Million's Bung Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Lafferty must be getting desperate to get fully match fit for the euros, I would have thought. Not holding my breath but would be nice. Bent has been back in the Derby squad so maybe unlikely to be him I would have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If something is happening now it's probably because of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Instead of bringing someone else in, the coaches need to get JK firing on all cylinders again. There's a player there who could still have another 8-10 goals in his locker this season. We need to bring in a forwards coach with the ability to make him as effective as possible. Tomlin, Kodjia, Agard, and even Wilbs should still be enough for the remainder of this season. Of course, if Pack, Freeman, Bryan et al can start finding the net, then things start to look a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably playing under instruction to try and create chances. This isn't Sunday league, if he was directly disobeying orders and instructions he wouldn't play 70-90 mins every game.

I don't think he's deliberately disobeying anything, but he's repeatedly guilty of overplaying. LJ seems very aware of that, hence his comments about his tactical naivety the other week.

ScottishRed Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Interesting development , but there could be nothing in it. i do hope that this is not a sudden " realisation" as a quick look at the list of goal scorers this season would have provided a fairly clear clue that there was a problem, but I do agree getting someone worthwhile in would not have been or is, easy. Lafferty would be a good call and I agree he will be desperate to get games, however I doubt Norwich would want to lose any options even one they are unlikely to use. They also won't be too concerned about him wanting to go to France as they have more to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFree Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 It's a difficult call as with so few 'cup finals' now remaining, can we afford to have several players who are not match fit in the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NI are not exactly awash with strikers at his level so it makes little difference. Be good for him to get game time though and would be a good addition here if we can get him in.

redpole Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 I don't think we need a striker, the way LJ sets up 4231, I think kodja has goals in him and what we are missing is a goal scoring attacking rm in the lines of Albert, although not Albert but someone like him to fill the attacking rm side of our 4231 formation.

I read those comments more about positioning and playing a role in a team, more off the ball stuff rather than in possession. There was a fair few times Saturday he should be releasing the ball earlier in my view though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's both though, he's not got the composure to know when to release the ball sometimes, hopefully it'll come in time and we'll have a top all-round player.
