Matchday Fred

The midfield has no pace, no bite, no guile, will not track back and put a foot in. There is no pace or physicality anywhere, just lots of very samey nice blokes who laugh at Warney’s jokes and like to run round cones in training.

It does if you add that key metric - unforced personal errors costing goals 2 -0

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit to its full height
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood
I see you like greyhounds in the slips, straining upon the start
The games afoot, follow your spirit and upon this charge cry ‘God for Warney, Derby and the Rams !

Never understood the emotional pull of wanting to re-sign ex players, particularly when those players weren’t good enough in the first place. An ageing squad cost us last season with legs gone after 60 mins in many games, and the wheels falling off after the Fleetwood game. We need to be looking for the next upcoming players,  not relying on overpaid journeymen. For me it is no to Waghorn and Rhodes. 

Watched the playoff final. There was very little quality, buts lots of energy, physicality and aggression. Both sides put a premium on being hard to beat, giving nought away. I could see how they finished in the top six., probably scoring a decent amount of goals from set pieces, managing the ref well, particular Wendies at home. Peterborough we’re the only side to play football in the playoffs but still had physicality where it mattered and we’re ultimately done by a Homer ref who can’t count down 6 mins of Fergie time.
That is what Derby has lacked for years, we’re always the 5’6” medium paced gang who can reportedly caress the ball, if only the likes of Fleetwood would let us. I could have cried when we signed Harvey White to sit in middle with those hairy arsed bruisers Hourihane and Bird. We certainly need more physicality, more pace and height, a set piece and ball over the top threat. And the ability to run box to box for 90 mins. We want other teams to look at our guys and think I don’t fancy this today. Fleetwood came to our place, saw our team of midgets and clearly thought I fancy this today. That was the beginning of the end of our season.
Easy to say, hard to do under the challenging circumstances of the last few years, especially marrying the energy with the quality needed to put the ball in the net. Be interesting to see what Warne can do now with some shackles off. Hope we can keep Didz, suspect he’s hanging out to see what the best offer will be, and that will not be in League 2.

At least next season dull folks will no longer be able say ‘at least we still have a club, we only had 5 players at the start of the season blah buckin blah …’

Warne must be thinking of subs. My advice is don’t let your indecision take you from behind, trust your inner vision, don’t let others change your mind. Will he bring on Bucks Fozz ?

Too many unnecessary changes in the starting line up today. If Didz and Knight are fit you play them every time. And you play two of Dobbin, Barks and NML. Not sure why Roberts doesn’t get more games. This is not the time of season to pick Springett and Davies just to give them a game. If anyone needs resting it’s Hourihane. Warne messed up today.
