Ghost of Clough

I'd imagine most teams have won more games against the bottom 4. That's why they're in the bottom 4.

Wildsmith
Forsyth   Davies   Cashin
Knight   Bird   Hourihane   Roberts
Mendez-Laing   Sibley
McGoldrick
 
Subs: McGee, Rooney, Smith, White, Barkhuizen, Dobbin, Collins

Accurate passes
McGoldrick - 15 (79%)
Sibley - 13 (72%)
Mendez-Laing - 13 (57%)
Collins - 1 (33%)
Dobbin - 0 (0 passes attempted)
 
I wasn't convinced by the shape last night. We lacked control in the middle for large periods of time, McGoldrick seemed isolated and we didn't get much from Mendez-Laing in the first half who was too narrow and was playing as a link up man rather than a fast attacker.
However, 2nd half you could see the improvement once the goal went in and confidence increased. Bird and Hourihane had a greater control of the game, McGoldrick, Mendez-Laing and Sibley were linking together much better and were finding space to run in to.
I think 343 makes better use of our squad, with McGoldrick, Mendez-Laing, Sibley, Collins, Barkhuizen and Dobbin being options for the front 3 positions, rather than just McGoldrick, Collins and Dobbin in a 352

Am impressive result considering we had an U16(?) CB partnered with a CM, and an U16 CM infront of them. Three U16s came off the bench too.

Thanks, GOC. 
I can't understand the posters who are quick to jump on Sibley's control as a reason to drop him from the team because the stats just don't back them up.
Those quick little interplays were at the heart of all our good moves first half. And as for criticising him for shooting, we're quick to criticise those who don't! 
I personally think that team deserves another start on Saturday. As Bird said, they'd had very little time to practise. 
The subs were made at the right time and brought on fresh legs to defend what we'd created. 
I'm quick to criticise Warne when the subs don't work, so need to praise him when they do.
 

That was the foul when McGoldrick's first touch knocked it past the CB, then the CB held him back because he was never going to recover

Love the commentary from the home fan in the background. ‘Never a free kick in a million years’ . Must have good eyesight, given where he was sitting

Sorry but your post loses a little credibility at this point. Watching the match live didnt hear a sound from home fans whilst Derby fans were very loud and proud all match but yes guess must be acoustics

so nice not to wake up this morning thinking : “well bugger. That’s this season just about done “ 😊

Lennon Wheeldon hattrick and a Cameron Ashia double.

I'm sure 45 minutes of Roberts crossing in for him to head it, and Cashin lumping big diagonals up to him will more than convince Warne to keep him on...

They weren't though, were they? Go through those match day threads and you'll remember some of the dodgy decisions. The difference is, people can 'forgive' bad decisions when results are going your way and you move on quicker. When it's costing us points, people will naturally discuss those bad decisions much more.

Better to negotiate a total budget for wages and transfer fees - then allow us the freedom to choose how to spend the money.
ie. £10k pw week on a free transfer on a 2 year deal or £5k pw week on a £500k signing on a 2 year deal

I am presuming this is on Rams TV. Is it possible to just buy the first half for a discounted price?
