Title: Ian Ross
Post by: townender3385 on December 27, 2012, 11:29:22 AM
Who agrees that Ross should be first to go. Useless as always, wastes the ball and defensively i've never known someone be such a passenger.

I think he's ok and so do a lot of fellers around me. Personal choice of course. I may be wrong, you may be wrong. He may not be the best on the pitch but on some days that could apply to the other 10 players.

When GD lands the mid-field target he is after who makes way  , Milnes or Ross ?

I thought Ross was better yesterday a lot more effort than of late. If he can keep that up I for one will get behind him and forget the lack of effort of the previous couple of weeks. If ghm is right though I'd take Milnes over Ross.

Either/Or never both.  I like Milnes and on some days Ross is a game winner.  We need someone alongside either of them, one of those players that keeps the game ticking over.

Ross is a decent player at this level - like many of our squad. My opinion is that he just needs to be managed correctly and played in the right sort of formation. His ability on the ball is evident, he shows composure when many around him lose their heads and he can be a match winner on his day. GD needs to get the best out of him and exploit his full potential.

The problem is with our midfeild is just we have all flare players and no simple grafter in there. All our midfeild players are have the ball passed to them players and not lets get the ball players. Nothink wrong with how good they are just need to adjust the balance

Ross is the  best 'flair' player we have. His ability and performances are underrated by many in my opinion. We need to play a ball winner alongside him which was the aim at the start of the seasn with Willson.

I still think he'd be better off playing out-wide on the right, in a Beckham-esque role...

I guess Ross would fall into the category of "Artist" rather than "Soldier". Definitely worth pets persevering with in my humble opinion.

Is that right we have put in a seven day notice for Stamfords James Osman, soneone who Drury had at Corby last season?

He only signed for Stanford on November 2012

But safe to asume thats why Drury wanted him there, and acording to the stamford forum and and am sorry for not being able to write a link,but youre find it in the thread of there last game against whoever it was, it seems to confirm the fact. it also says spalding have made an 7 day approach for gary king, god forbid he ends up back here!

Corby released James Ozmen at the end of last season. Towards the end of pre-season he started training with us, however, we had just about finalised our squad by then, especially the midfield, and either he was not offered a deal or was not offered a deal that was acceptable to him so he did not join us. I cannot remember who he then joined, it may have been someone like Quorn, before he joined Stamford.

I know a number of Corby fans were disappointed when they released him.

I think ozmen would be a good signing from what I have heard about him. Fingers crossed with that one. We are in urgent need of a experienced centre half in my opinion.

Post by: townender3385 on December 29, 2012, 07:26:38 AM
I like the sound of this Ozmen and hope we get him signed up.

And i would 100% take Milnes over Ross.
Milnes is an all round centre midfielder. Hard to come by nowadays, he's as good if not better on the ball than Ross and gets right stuck in and doesn't get the defensive credit that he deserves.

Post by: Shauneyg on December 29, 2012, 08:17:52 AM
Totally agree with that. I thought milnes was MOM against corby put a real shift in for the team.

Absolutely, Milnes was MOTM by a mile, although SWD had a good game not sure how anyone could have picked him over Milnes.

Ross is fairly skilfully a great passer makes lots of time and space and is experienced! Without Ross I think we would struggle in the midfield and in the build up to some of our goals. Most things were coming through Ross yesterday against Oxford. I don't think many people appreciate having Ross in our midfield, and we would struggle without him! He's definitely one for the retained list no question!

Completely disagree....Ross has his limitations,like everybody....perhaps his "turning circle" can be rather predictable and "big", and perhaps his passes can be wayward sometimes,but dont underestimate his overall contribution to the team.....on his day he is as good as any midfielder at this level....he is also,as far as I am aware,fully committed to BUFC....his passion for the club is there for all to see....

One thing I would say however is that his overall game would be increased and we would get more from him, if he was joined in our midfield by a strong hard tackling midfield player....a type of player we have sadly been needing for ages now....

I thought he add a cracking first halve to be fare, imo along with smith he was my joint mom in that 45mins, but was i the only one who thought that his second half performance was the complete opposite? With drury obviously wanting to sign a centre midfeild player i think it's safe to assume at least one of yesterdays starters will inevitably be come a casualty
