Gone Elsewhere Djed Spence

[HeCanDoMagic]

On our radar allegedly.

Boro defender/full back.

 

[Mouth of the South]

Caught the eye when I saw him play earlier in the season.

How the turn tables - only a couple of years ago it was us having our young prospects taken by the 'big clubs'!

 

[cooperblade]

Just the sort of athletic, physical presence that we're lacking at the moment. We couldn't deal with him at all last night.

 

[FTPE]

He was alright.
I wouldn't say we couldn't cope with him as they only created two chances, and one of them came from the other wing.
And let's not forget, he was against Enda.

Stevens is an embarrassment to the shirt but this guy is bang average, against RND he wouldn't have had much luck

 

[Houso]

He was athletic, apart from one moment when he got past a weak tackle, he had shit all end product.

 

[BLADES1988]

What's his music like? Never heard of DJ Ed Spence.........waaay

I think you’ve overrating RND a fair bit.

Maybe but i know he's better than that embarrassment we currently have at LB

 

[jono_t2000]

Was their best player by far. Would take him in a heartbeat.

I’m really not sure. Stevens hasn’t been good, but I actually think he’s still better than RND.

Him getting past three of our players on that side created the havoc before their equaliser.

That passage of play looked embarrasing for us when I watched it live. I haven't re-watched it but it looked astonishing that none of our 3 players could get a meaningful tackle or block in, although maybe I should give the attacker a bit more credit...

So, so far out of our price range now.

Wasn't either small or slow enough to have been considered when we did have money

But he's not even wanted by Boro,

If Colin is still interested in Burke, could be a good swap opportunity.

when someone reminds me of RNDs defending

I think that's unfair personally. Stevens is in his 30s. He has 0 ceiling for improvement. If anything he's regressed. He's not been shit for a bit.. he's been shit for the past two years.. I think we need to accept it's not a blip. I'd much rather RND play as he's younger (plays for the Welsh set up) and has a massive ceiling to improve.

Is he shit?
Yes.
Then what the hell are you waiting for Bettis...

I think labelling him ‘shit’ is a bit harsh personally. Yes, he’s not been great and has recently been well below his previous standards but I can’t imagine it’s easy being asked to play through a double hernia.

Jesus Christ, the stink of average ordinariness never changes

RND did very little wrong. Had some poor moments, but also many games where he was fairly solid. Stevens has been abysmal since March 2020.

I don't really. He's been an absolute liability.

I don't really. He's been an absolute liability.

For reasons that aren’t directly related to his footballing ability.

Where's his football ability been this season?

 

[LJBlade]

Where's his football ability been this season?

So it’s now just about his last few games, rather than the 2 years you were previously talking about?

Past few games, past two years. He's been dogger regardless of a timeframe.

Great analysis.

I’m not arguing against the suggestion he’s been poor, I’m saying there are mitigating circumstances. You don’t seem to think that playing through a double hernia is something that could potentially have a negative effect on a players performance

 

[JPSharpy93]

I have a very close source to Djed and there has never been any approaches from us for him. He didn’t get on with Warnock. He wants to stay at Forest on loan. Wilder was at the Forest game yesterday and wants Djed to return to Middlesbrough in January. Unfortunately for Middlesbrough he’s sold up and doesn’t want to stop up there. He’s currently linked to two premier league teams.

 

[Shoreham_Bhoys]

Was well marshalled by Antonee Robinson of Fulham when he was subbed on there by Warnock at a game I attended on opening weekend.
