D J shocking

D J shocking

He was dreadful yesterday, not good enough I’m afraid if you have playoff ambitions. I’d hate to play along side him as you’d have to put in double the effort to cover him.
 
DJ is a high quality player but was fucking diabolical yesterday. Worst of a very bad bunch. Think the team and manager just need to put that one behind them now as they're all much better than that shite
 
Not sure what players like Gallagher, Johnson and Harrop are meant to do with no defensive steel/base to work off in midfield.

There’s no platform for them to go and perform and create with a single defensive midfielder on the pitch.

The sooner we get Ledson, the better, because we desperately need another option in there (Welsh probably isn’t nowadays).

He's a skilful little bugger with fast feet, can pass and shoot. He's not a great tackler but his fast feet often mean he can get past people without having to crunch them. He's good at what he does, very good but he needs to be played alongside a battler like Pearson. His best football Imo has been behind the strikers so much further forward. As with Grayson he is not being played to his strengths very often. I don't know how he fits into Neils formation apart from next to Pearson which sometimes works but he's not the worst player Ive seen thats for sure.

Absolutely this. I prefer to see Gally and Pearson in the middle, and DJ as a no. 10 behind a front man. He can score some beauties from that position, and has the ability to play others in, particulary if we're playing a 4-2-3-1 when the other two in the three can come inside.
 
You can tell it’s the 3rd week in January, looks like seasonal depression has really set in with many fans.

All about the negatives............!

Personally I think we should start with Gally or DJ along side Pearson in the middle. I'm not bothered which as they both have their strengths and weaknesses. If Pearson isn't fit Browne or Welsh should start in that role. Harrop is much better in the No 10 role than DJ, so I'd only use DJ there if Harrop wasn't available.

Alex Neil knows we have a problem with the holding midfield position hence his interest in signing Ledson from Oxford.
 
They were better in midfield than us. I thought Harrop was poor compared with how he played against Middlesbrough whilst DJ was bullied by a much bigger stronger player in center mid. Gally did ok imo, but we didn’t half miss Pearson. They aren’t a bad team,Brum, and will take points off teams round us before May.

Not his best game but I would ban the OP or ask him to seek counselling if he thinks that DJ is anything like the worst player we've had.

I like DJ, he has tried to change his game a little to fit in with the way we play. He generally puts a shift in and makes a difference.

He must be one of the worst players to put on a North End shirt, can't tackle, can't head a ball, rarely passes forward & his marking is atrocious !!!

I don't see Johnson improving this season, defensively he is poor, he doesn't seem to shoot as much as he used to when he's in position to, I would say he can look lazy, his closing down is poor or non existent, I wouldn't have him in my first eleven, Browne is better off the ball and probably just as good on it this season.
 
Fuck me, the number of people who start a thread about a player who's he/she thinks has just had a bad game. Obviously didn't see DJ last Sat at Millwall, or on the numerous other occasions when he's had a good game.
 
The notion that DJ is one of the worst players to have worn the jersey is clearly the kneejerk reaction of a deranged imbecile, but yesterday he was absolute bobbins. However, so was everyone else so he doesn’t merit special mention.
