Title: Tom Anderson (again)
Post by: Monkcaster_Rover on January 19, 2021, 09:37:07 pm
The man's an absolute psychopath. Makes a block from nowhere then he threw his face at it.

Erect the statue.

Great performance for our captain tonight. Think it would have been a different result without him ( my opinion only) Raven and Janso

If we all see things the same way, it would be a dull world.

(Just saying Janso and Raven)

Some fans like to see passion or work rate above skill. Some pure ability or stamina.
A lot of fans vote for players showing the attributes that they like to watch.
This bias rather than looking with an open mind can swing it enough to lead to many differences of opinion.

Im almost at a point where i dont want him to play against West Ham because you know he will be immense again and there is no bigger shop window than playing against a premier league club. Leave him out Darren he looks shattered  :silly:

Quite tight too.

Never saw why Martin Wood got such a hard time during his second spell, but many would disagree.

Most players at this level make mistakes and if you dont like that player you notice them more.

I wonder what some posters that slagged him off when he first came are thinking now.

I was one of those. He won every header but his positioning looked awful.

Anderson has to be one of the most improved players I've ever seen. Whiteman was another who improved hugely but Tom even more so. I'd add halliday too.  He's improving rapidly. Drfc are doing something very right coaching wise right now.

He has improved, but he showed his potential very early on at Rotherham, when he put Michael Smith in his pocket.

That was only about his 3rd game for us.

Get over yourself. A positive thread like this and you still have to go and make personal digs.

I actually remember his debut and he just seemed to carry himself every strange, he was like bambi on ice.

I think he showed his quality very early on though as a commanding CB for us. He is very no nonsense but he can actually play a bit too which is great!!
He has undoubtedly improved over time though!!

Anyone see Copps' tweet this morning? Pic of Anderson with brickwork superimposed over his face. Very amusing.

Whatever we got for Ben, Tom is worth double. In my view Ben is replacable, this guy isn't.

Anderson the only player to start every league game this season.

Anderson the only player to start every league game this season.

In the last 20 seasons, the only outfield players to start every league season so far have been the two Tommys (Spurr and Rowe) and Danny Andrew. Both Sully (twice) and Andy Warrington have managed it.
