Where did you find that accurate snippet of info

 

True if I had one minor criticism and I’m being picky that’s what he always seemed to be looking for when there were players in space. Mind you lots of players can play safe passes. It’s the risky ones which get you goals

 

There’s a difference between citing him as a good player with good credentials and bugging him up as a “top-end Championship” player.

He may have been once upon a time, but the fact he hasn’t been able to get games, suggests he no longer is. Let’s not big him up just yet, eh..!

 

So why is O’Donnell’s 1st thought to punt it downfield? Never looks to see if he can roll it out to the lads in front of him. He only sees the ‘hoof’.

If this isn’t a Hopkin tactic, why doesn’t he speak to O’Donnell about it?

 

Just seen this after I had wrote something similar. Agree with every word

 

For the same reason Pickford isn't deterred from sudden 80 yard punts down field - you just never know.

If the coaching staff have faith in O'Donnell's drop kicks, presumably they think they'll come good now and again and is an adequate weapon.

 

Lampard has only been in charge this season, right? So his previous Derby manager didn’t rate him either? He only started twice and featured in 3 games under Rowett the season before.

As I said, on paper he is a good player and a cracking signing for this level. But to claim he’s still a ‘top end Championship player’ is pushing it somewhat.

 

Bit of a waste when the defence splitting pass goes to Doyle to miss

 

Would seem so, mind both will have to be improved on if we are to improve as a team, To strengthen a chain first remove the weakest links

 

He seems a very confident lad in interview.

 

Right, he's had his little cameo introduction, don't piss about Hopkin, he starts next week.

 

He is being groomed as the new scapegoat

 

For those that attended the game yesterday, how did he perform?

 

“He’s one of our own,
He’s one of our ooown,
Butterfield,
He’s one of our own”

Would be nice to hear this from the Kop when the Bradford-lad bags his first goal in claret and amber!

 

Illegal, surely?

 

Looked a good player, certainly will be an asset.

Bet he’s got a sore neck after today though!

 

He’ll come good with a couple of games under his belt.

 

I thought he did get a fair amount of the ball in the last 20 minutes, when he also seemed to fade.

I've expressed my opinion regarding how unintelligent we looked as a team, repeating the same obvious mistakes ad nauseum despite no hint of an impending improvement at any point.

Really awful game and brainless performance, but while Payne had a shocker, Butterfield at least looked like he'd seen a ball before.

 

Is he?

Don't recall seeing him in the stands during the misery filled 2000's.

 

I was more referring to the fact he was born, raised and went to school in Bradford.
