That aged well

We improved when Morrison came deeper and got us on the ball 

Yes it is 
Stretton isn’t a loan striker in the same way Marriott wasn’t

It’s ironic that our former youth coach now managing a League Two club is more qualified than our own Wayne Rooney.
 

3rd or 4th choice ???
to what ? Have u seen how big our squad is lol

8th best accademy on player performance apparently ?

Easiest game Salford will have all season! 

8th best accademy on player performance apparently ?

Our ability to defend set pieces is absolutely ducking criminal 
I know we have kids out there 
but when I leave their biggest certnee half in his own postcode 3 yards out from goal u know the System ur trying to implement isn’t working 
wtf ever happened to just marking man for man .. big ducker marks big ducker and work ur way back from that 
this zonal baalocks is literally baalocks

Quite correct. Anybody else seen this ad:
For Sale: football club, ground not included. £100Mill ovno; will consider p/x for a big yacht or summat similar. Apply Box MEL1 ?

Chinese Businessmen came for a tour around Derbyshire and visited Pride Park a while ago, but nothing ever came of that. If they watched the match last night i dont think we will ever see them again.

Suite and Sour?

Always been surprised the EFL haven’t picked up on that one. They do tend to have maybe a bit too much movement between two clubs

Yeah definitely ? and in the end it's a game of opinions really, very rarely is there one 'right' answer. No point saying 'he was crap' as you say lol need to give some thought as to why you think things. 

Yeah, festy definitely does add a bit of energy especially as the game gets stretched in the second half he can be useful in that regard. Definitely agree re the crowd, often times a tasty challenge or some closing down will lift things up a little and get people up and excited. 

Yeah, thought the atmosphere was fantastic even if the stadium was quite sparse really. I'm not sure if it will remain that way once getting back to the games becomes more normal and if the results don't quite come but i hope we all stay onside in the stands and get behind the lads. Honestly, I think if nothing changes we'll more than likely go down but we need to at least all make a good fight of it. 

All good buddy I enjoy exchanging views with people like yourself who give reasoning and explanation to things , we don’t have to agree and that’s what its all about, will always take on board a well explained viewpoint 
makes a change from the “ he was crap” we see so often on here lol 
Agree re festy, I think he just gave us a little bit of energy more than anything, got to a few balls first stretched them a little , but no more than closing them down a bit quicker with a bit more energy that gave the crowd a lift as much as anything 
was a great atmosphere, thought the crowd were excellent in terms of getting behind the lads 
long may that Continue , we’re in it together

Agree completely 
Im assuming Lawrence was dropping deep to get the ball as it was about the only area on the pitch where there was space to get the ball without a man being up his backside 
this goes back to the point some have made and yourself about runners in behind be it a midfielder or the centre forward … obviously CKR isn’t going to do that ( although he did chase down a couple of round the corner fozzy balls, but he ain’t putting the fear of god into them ) and when we’re playing a holding two neither shinnie or bird are going to be breaking ranks 
if we we’re to get a willing runner who does go in behind then that pushes them that little bit deeper toward their goal.. in turn creating pockets for our players to exploit 
until we get willing runners to go in behind be it a front man/widemen or midfielders then we’ll remain easy to play against and will continue to create v little

Crikey it’s weird how we all see the game so differently lol
im not arguing with u and respect ur views totally but I thought shinnie first half was absolutely shocking, he got caught on the ball and his second touch had to be a tackle cos his first was so bad, highlighted for the cheap free kick we gave away for their equaliser.
he hustled and bustled as shinnie does and improved second half but first he looked well off it 
the centre half pairing looked absolutely fine first half and start of the second when up against Rhodes and whoever the other lad was but as soon as they brought on Campbell and the other quick lad they started to isolate us in the channels and should have scored 
didn’t help that we were clearly employing a tactic of having fozzy high up for that cross field right to left diagonal to try and flick on so his starting position was high up leaving space in that channel 
bringing on festy seemed to help a little and pushed them back a little but by that time our attacking intent and ability to try and play between the lines had evaporated 
note that’s all just my opinion not arguing 
funny game and all that 
 

I know, and that's very different when a player goes game after game without any good ones. Then you have something to base an opinion on.
I too was very frustrated with Waggy but will be ever grateful for him coming good for that last game of the season. If I'd have been manager, he probably wouldn't have been in the team!
I want more from Lawrence too, but still think he's a game changer on his day and works hard when it isn't. 

Oh and before anyone thinks otherwise I was glad to see Sibley get some match time yesterday. But I can't agree with the hyperbole about his contribution. Might have agreed if he scored - afterall other players missed chances too.

Yes, some fair comment there. This is why I dont understand Lawrence picking the ball up so deep. Get the forward players up the park, insist they are always on the move & task Max with finding them. Again yesterday, not enough men in the box & not enough men around Kazim. Ravel is quality but dont want him also dropping back like Lawrence....want him hurting opposition by receiving the ball in their half, turning & driving at them.
Rooney obviously wants to maximise our full back strength with the current tactics but that should be Shinnie's role to cover whichever one has moved up the park (the other one sitting deeper). Max needs to be involved in the play more.

We also lack real attacking options and flair 
I think til more attacking options are added it’s the only way we can be tbh 
edit:Morrison’s arrival should (hopefully) help
