Gary Rowett remains positive about the impact Lloyd Dyer can have during his time at Birmingham City. Although there is still some work to be done on the training ground.
“I thought in patches he was very, very good,” Rowett said. “I think you can see he hasn`t played for quite some time, we thought he might be a little bit more ring-rusty.
Dyer has made 14 appearances for Watford this season. Interestingly 10 of those have been from the bench and the winger must be struggling for match fitness.
“With Lloyd at times he made some good runs inside when we perhaps wanted him to stay a little bit wider.
The player has very little time to work with the coaching staff and it is natural that he wasn’t going to quite deploy the tactical understanding Rowett would have liked in his first game.
I can’t see this improving much before playing Sheffield Wednesday. Presumably the players would have had a day off on Sunday and that leaves little time to get him to bed into the team. Expecting a Gray start over Dyer at Wednesday.
“It will perhaps take him a little bit of time to get used to our philosophy but when he stays wide and runs at people he can be an absolute handful.
“You can see that, he has created a chance for the goal – a brilliant little move. And he got in behind another couple of times.
“It was promising, he adds to our attacking threat at times.”
Rowett is hopeful of what Dyer will eventually bring to the team and with his pace, the potential is definitely there. It is going to come down to how well he can adapt to a new style of play at the ripe old age of 32.
