About Adams

Can we talk about Ebou Adams?

The Derby County midfielder scored the first and assisted the second against West Brom yesterday to put the Rams above the drop zone with just two games to go.

It's not just those three points that he has played a key part in winning. Adams ranks first in the division for tackles attempted (146), tackles won (95), blocks (71) and fouls (78) - only a handful of players have made more interceptions than his 55. In fact, he has made more tackles than any other player across England's top four tiers. He's an absolute workhorse of a midfielder and his consistent ball-winning in the middle of the park has been a huge asset to this Derby County side. They have a pretty solid defensive record all told - conceding 56 goals in 44 matches and you cannot overstate Adams' influence on that.

It's hard to believe that this is his first season as an established starter at Championship level. Before this term, he had spent the majority of his career at League Two level and had played more football in the National League than he had in the second tier. An unbelievable signing.

Let's be honest, how many of us were disappointed when he left? Not many.

I have always said that some players are suited to certain clubs and some aren't.

He's done brilliant for Derby but I still don't think it was wrong for us to let him go - it just wasn't working out for him. When he did get his chances with us, he didn't really impress after his bad injury.

So fair play to him for doing well at Derby but I have no regrets about him leaving.

A strange signing. This was the start of the playing the right way madness led by an ex-Millwall bruiser of a centre forward straight out of coaching school.
I have total respect for fearless, committed athletes who can play a bit of football. Adams was one of those, but we went through manager after manager who wanted technicians rather than athletes.
You need to earn the right to play, countless managers forgot that fundamental.
We have totally lost our way as a club.

Stand out for Derby especially since Eustace took over.

Another player we didn’t give a proper chance to.

Just the sort of player we need and would have thrived under Warnock or Malky.

Because we are clueless.

I get the joke but no regrets about letting Adams go.

Some players work at certain clubs, some don't.

Harris and Adams struggled to make an impact for us, but the likes of Drameh and Sanderson were great for us but struggled to make an impact elsewhere.

Adams had his chances and didn't impress - just needed a fresh start.

It's part of the reason I've said Rubin should leave. He's really struggled to reach his potential with us but would likely go on to do very well at another club because he does have the ability.

To me I honestly think our squad is really unfit compared to most other teams we are a team or 1 of the only teams who in the championship cannot press and give teams far to much respect we start with high energy first 10 minutes then already with no pace the work ethic to close opitition down we are so afraid of what teams can do to us rather than make teams afraid of us they now we ant got pace or energy or the now how to create space so the just push us back to the point we panic and can’t get out hence that’s how we get relagated you cannot survive in this league or any other league without pace perhaps 1 or two players u can get. Away with no pace but they need the now how to create for others and unfortunately we have neither I’ve said this on post earlier on in beginning of season

For me the last 4 or 5 seasons, i dont think any player has worked out that well for us with the exceptions of some of the loans maybe. As one poster said some players work well in one team yet not in others. But no one has been doing well in our team for the last 4 or 5 seasons, and i put that down to the quality of manager we have employed in that time, for me the only one that was any good only lasted 6 months and then it was obvious he and Tan were not going to work out - Lamouchie

He wasn't good enough for us at the time, when we had a better midfield.

The season in L1 in the Derby promotion team did him good, and he's had an ok season. His 6 goals and 1 assist matches Robertsons return; who has had a mixed season for me and alot out injured or struggling with fitness. Adams has played every game bar 2.

Adams has hardly ripped this league up, has he? Rubin has 3 more assists, if we're stating facts.

The amount of threads and mentions of him just sums up how low our standards have dropped. It's like comparing who's got the better flu.

He has been an instrumental player in a Derby team likely staying up. Average rating of 7.24 on FotMob. (Thanks for getting me into that site btw). 6 goals when he isn’t even an attacking midfielder.

Robertson has 3 goals and 3 assists average rating of 7.02. Colwill 1 goal and 4 assist average rating of 6.79.

That’s quite a difference and as you said Adams has played all the season which means he has stayed fit. His energy is still really good.

We fans make our minds up too soon on players and we don’t know as much as we think we do.

Do you think we should have sold him when we did? (Without hindsight)

Honestly. I rated him at the time and afterwards. I said he should have been given more of a chance.

However, there are other players I’ve been wrong about.

The comparison to Robertson and Colwill wasn't praise by the way. That's my point. Put it this way, I wouldn't have him back this summer, regardless of what league we're in. I'd be hoping we form some kind of ambition (in the boardroom and in the stands) and sign someone better or maintain Robertson (who if fit, I think will be better).

I do see your point of availability and fitness though.

Fotmob is quality. I waste alot of my life on it.

I'll get my gumshield.

Undr The Cosh is John Parkinson and a few others. Mainly with footballers (some good ex-Cardiff on there) but to a 'Friday club' every Friday where it's laugh out loud funny.

I will give it a go, but already hate it as you've suggested it and it already smells like Oxford to me

All about football league. They rely heavily on FotMob for stats
