AshtonRobin21 Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 I enjoy these types of signings. Lots of potential, and comes here on a free transfer. Derby fans rated him highly last season, so let’s hope he can relocate that here. Very happy with the early work done in this transfer window.

DaveF Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 Pretty sure he can play centre back, left back or defensive midfield. Maybe a bit of a left sided McCrorie? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume he is here as backup/squad member ? Nor me. By what I've seen it appears he was developed as a CB but then Derby played him at LB last season out of need.

RUSSEL85 Posted June 8, 2023 Report Share Posted June 8, 2023 Another good signing, excuse my ignorance but we have signed 3 defenders, good ones. We also have Atkinson, Kalas, Naismith, Wilson, Pring, Vyner. I can get confused with precise positions of players but are we to heavy at the back now?

McCorie hasn’t been signed as a defender is my understanding ready between the lines on here. More like to be used as a defensive midfielder. Could be completely wrong on that though. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atkinson won’t be available before November, Kalas hasn’t signed a new deal, plus I doubt very much that Wilson will start next season with us. We have Tanner, McCrorie, Vyner, Dickie, Naismith & Pring as definitely for next season, that’s at least one light. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorenzos Only Goal Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 Am I the only one who thinks Naismith is more likely to get pushed into a defensive midfield as a result of all the signings.

Naismith works pretty well as the link man, getting the ball out of our final third and feeding more attack-minded players. As the last line of defence, we have seen a few notable howlers from him, although admittedly they were mainly at the start of his City career. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there is the Atkinson-injury period to overcome, but assuming we either retain or replace Kalas, I think most see Naismith playing in CM. Personally I think he plays well in either defence or midfield. Edited June 9, 2023 by Davefevs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic Robin Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 The one frustration with signing so many versatile players is that it makes it very difficult to predict how we'll line up next season! My thoughts FWIW: 2 hours ago, Lorenzos Only Goal said: Am I the only one who thinks Naismith is more likely to get pushed into a defensive midfield as a result of all the signings. He looked much better there than at the back last season. I feel it in me bone's... Yes, I think that's Naismith's best position for us. and where he'd start if everyone was fully fit. Wouldn't be surprised to see him play LCB whilst Atkinson is injured though. 19 hours ago, formerly known as ivan said: McCorie hasn’t been signed as a defender is my understanding ready between the lines on here. More like to be used as a defensive midfielder. Could be completely wrong on that though. I don't think McCrorie has been signed as a CB. Initially, I also thought he'd probably be signed as a defensive midfielder, but given how good Naismith has been there I can't see Naismith being benched. Also interesting to see the club present McCrorie as a defender, and to see him state that his best position is in defence. Assuming a fully fit squad, I'd imagine Atkinson and Dickie start at CB with Naismith ahead of them in CDM. I can't really see any of those 3 being benched, nor can I see McCrorie not starting given his profile and what we've paid for him. It leads me to wonder whether McCrorie has been signed to play RB. Aside from the fact that RB looks like the only "space" for him with a fully fit squad, he also has very similar physical attributes to Pring at LB, and it looks like Wilson may be out of favour, so perhaps signing a new RB could make sense. All that being said, I wouldn't be surprised to see McCrorie in CDM and Naismith at LCB whilst Atkinson is injured. 18 hours ago, GrahamC said: Atkinson won’t be available before November, Kalas hasn’t signed a new deal, plus I doubt very much that Wilson will start next season with us. We have Tanner, McCrorie, Vyner, Dickie, Naismith & Pring as definitely for next season, that’s at least one light. Yepp, I think we need (at least) 1 more defender. As it stands, I see the depth for our defence and midfield as: (+ Wilson at RB which the app wouldn't let me include!) I see a few gaps in cover at LB, CDM, and LCB. Looks like Roberts (if he signs) will act as cover for Pring at LB. Perhaps we consider King (if he re-signs) as cover for Naismith? (or King as cover for James, allowing Williams to cover Naismith?) Maybe we'll need another LCB to assist in covering Atkinson whilst he's injured? Maybe we'll hope that the versatility of the players we have will allow us to 'make do'? Maybe we feel we have an academy Conclusion - 1 more defender (Roberts) is a necessary addition. I wouldn't be surprised to see us sign one more defender after that too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the case that we got 7 points from 9 in those 3 games & he was then out injured for the next 11, so highly likely he’d have had a decent run there otherwise. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted June 9, 2023 Report Share Posted June 9, 2023 Just now, Percy Pig said: And then came back into the side at Centre half, where he was exemplary. As he has been all season, as he was when winning player of the year in a playoff side the season before. Just think it's weird that off the back of 3 league games people think our high profile centre half signing of 12 months ago and the main on pitch leader we have should move to the one position on the pitch he's never actually played before... I agree with exactly what you’re saying. With a couple of ugly brutes at CB, I’d happily see Naismith in CM. But I’d also happily see him at CB. Wherever he plays the players in front of him get better positions to receive the ball. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
