Derby County fires Davis. Personally,

Simply Put...davis Nuh Good At The Prem Level. End Of Story.

Why are so many posters so hard on our own central defenders playing in the top flight? When central defenders and GKs make mistakes they tend to be howlers because they are so close to goal. Davis will not be the only central defender to make a mistake. What matters is how they play afterwards. Cho man, even Rio Ferdinand's OGs and John Terry make mistakes, but like Davis, they are few and far between.

How many mistakes has Davis made so far this season? Very few, that's why he is a Premiership quality defender. Also, compare Derby's results with and without Davis, and you will see a marked difference in goals scored against. Less goals are scored against Derby when Davis plays than when he does not.

dweetsweet... i have noticed the same thing... sometimes mi wonder iz what claude duh dem... i agree with your observation...

Look at the bonehead plays he makes. Shocking.

[OJ]

All there central get caught with the same thing. They are under a great deal of pressure and they will bend.

Well, the commentator (analyst) on the Chelsea game did say that he's the only premiership quality defender they have.

OK..and what is there position in the EPL ?..he might be the best in a sorry lot..

Have you seen Claude play ? He is awful...totally at sea...

[Tilla]

Playing in the EPL as a central defender is hard wuk. None of our other home grown players have ever played in that position before against the quality opposition every week. Big Claude makes mistakes yes, but we should not crucify him.

I even hear someone said on this site that they would not call Claude for the Reggae Boyz as he has seen Derby pick up 5 and 6 from teams too many times (what's up Ssas?). I had to remind the person that Claude playes against the best week in week out. He will be better able to handle our CONCACAF games than he can the EPL because of the difference in the quality.

Anyway, I watched and saw the header Claude put in front of the Chelsea player. I said to myself, now there is fuel for the fire. . .

And that had nothing to do with the strength of opponent or any undue pressure.

Alright .... unuh easy ... the youth acknowledged his mistake, the fact is it didn't lead to a goal.
