I feel like Collins is massively undervalued honestly, playing as a lone striker where service is everything putting in a shift for 90 mins week in week out. Decent goal return as well and he's one of our most vocal players out there every game. I have more beef with our wide men and centre mids, no one ever gets up there to support Collins up against both CBs. Mendez-Laing has an off game and we look pedestrian at best.

AJs chin is absolutely fine, he ate Wlads biggest shot and got up, took clean shots from Usyk and kept standing who is an underrated puncher. Other heavyweights that sparred Usyk said he had them hurt and he punches way harder than people realise, he's just very smart in varying his punch power during fights. AJ got caught with a temple shot against Ruiz and that is much harder to recover from if you get your equilibrium taken. Took Whyte's biggest left hook and recovered plus many more cleans shots in his numerous world title defences. Fury got hard dropped early in his career by an unknown and Steve Cunningham who was a cruiserweight. Which HW chin do you put above AJs?
Personally I think Ngannou fought well but we saw a classic Fury performance of looking crap against lower skilled fighters, done it his whole career. Ngannou moved in straight lines and punched with Fury, if AJ uses his feint catch counter it'll be a brutal KO.
I don't see it comparable to the Bivol situation, I consider myself to follow the sport closely for many years now and I had Bivol to beat Canelo. Felt like Canelo had been cherrypicking a bit at the higher weights eg Kovalev who was way past his best. Bivol was a prime technical operator with elite skill level and a bigger frame.

He clearly still wants more pace which seems to be more a crucial part of his playing style, Bird and Hourihane dont seem to have the legs to get forward and support the striker like he wants. Hence the amount of aimless crosses we saw early on hoping Collins could outjump both CBs. He's prob 3 or 4 players away from playing his way to full effect.

Centre mid more important than a striker IMO. Sick of seeing us over run in midfield

Our lack of quality in possession ultimately cost us today, they just had more athleticism and movement. Made Hourihane look like a statue. We can't win set pieces and bang in 100 crosses a game if we dont have the ball.

Just catching up from yesterday in the match thread and here.
Quite clear we are still some way from acceptance of women in the men's game.
Be it studio or on the pitch with a flag or whistle.
Had it been a male ref yesterday, wouldn't be nearly as many posts commenting on the performance.
Females should be able to be criticised in the same way males are, however until the sexist undertones are eradicated, it's hard to be critical without being thrown into the sexist box that has the old school mentality that men's game should be just men.
It will be another decade or two before we see any progress with general acceptance.

She got the vast majority right. Far more than the crowd thought both at the time and on here. No glaring errors.
She could have maybe booked one of theirs when she played advantage, but it wasn't stonewall. The problem was yesterday that the crowd were in mass hysteria and howled about every decision with a pack mentality.
Not aimed at you, but being female and giving decisions against Derby outraged many with some awful comments at the game and on here. 
She could have dealt with their shithousing better. Hurried them along and spoken to them about the playacting. However the outrage is laughable. 
 

Retuning Ram, completely agree with you re the physio comment, same near me, just ignorance,, maybe those calling for her head can explain to me which booking was wrong , which penalty was wrong, she kept up with play unlike most of the males we get here. I wish her well, but she was not to blame for our appalling inability to see a game out yet again which is why Warne had no complaints about her because he knows where the blame lies 

There are plenty of regular male refs we have that would have totally lost control of that game, from watching at home I got the feeling the people in the ground were getting caught up in a shared emotion that did not reflect reality. Hourihane should have been sent off IMO, extrmemely lucky, thought she did well in an ugly game. If Derby played the way Wycombe did i'd be absolutely ashamed.

In my opinion, the criticism of Warne is fully deserved. The results are only just acceptable; the standard of play is sometimes good, but often poor; a couple of players aside, his signings are average at best; his use of the academy is awful; management of players fitness and doing his best to keep them injury free is shockingly bad.
However, there are enough positive signs to keep me clinging to the hope that he can take the club where it needs to be. Other people have different opinions, including those who don't think he is capable of improving, so think it's best to part ways now. That's their justified opinion.
A united club isn't one where the manager comes out with snide remarks, pushing some fans even further away. He should be doing everything he can to prove them wrong and get them back on board. Your comments are just as bad because they're divisive and you gain absolutely nothing from it

Good win but hasn't answered any questions really, his Jan signings are going to be crucial and I think it'll define his managerial period with us.

That was a bad game.
Good result though.

Might be something to do with a manager that admits in interviews he can't motivate the players, who knows.
