Anyone have highlights of the 1st and 3rd goal?

I think we will mix it up using both a 343 and a 352/3412 next season. At times playing with two centre fowards whilst on other occasions playing with inside fowards (which for me would get the best of NML). 

Which ever formation we use we need more attacking additions with a goal scoring number 9 being the priority. Is Rhodes ideal? No. But I do think he would do a job in finding the back of the net.

 

If we play 352 we can play Collins and Washington up front. With 343 we can use Barkhuisen and NML as inside forwards. That's what I'm hoping Warne is thinking to keep the opposition thinking.

I'd have him back. Better than the strikers we are being linked to.

Bristol city a nothing club. I love Jason but he should have stayed if that was his best option.

Barry the Ram has about a 5% success rate if even when it comes to guessing signings before they happen. He's just a twitter troll.

Sad to see him go. Great player on his day and wanted him back after the world cup. But wants to play at a higher level, even though Birmingham is a lower championship club. Good luck to him in the future.

He'd be an okay 3th or 4th choice striker. Nothing more than that.

Utterly depressing 

Another season in League 1 for us and another season for Forest in the Premier League.

This is such a disappointing deal, was hoping Dazn was going to win the rights and we could avail of a streaming option at 3pm Saturday, whether in League 1 or Championship. I have no interest in watching other EFL clubs play. Really bad news for away supporters, and will cause a real headache to organise around.

Anybody reminded of that game against Leicester?

That game still gives me nightmares.

Interestingly the “decent long range shot” you mention was his worst moment of the game for me and showed his severe lack of football intelligence. We’ve managed to win the ball high up the pitch creating a 3v2 in our favour, instead of drawing a defender out and playing one of his team mates in, he’s toon a shot on from 20-25 yards and missed the target. We’re seriously lacking in goals from around the pitch, Didzy has scored our last 4 or 5 goals, if we’re going to be successful in our quest for the playoffs it’s vital other players start pitching in with goals, but that means making the right decisions when opportunities present themselves.

If you go back and look at the highlights neither NML or Didzy were on in that situation. If he passed it Didzy he was about to be closed down and NML was behind him when he took the shot, plus there was a defender covering on his right side.

We didn’t lose.

Sorry my bad felt like a loss

Warne has so much to do in the summer, so frustrating losing that. Never a pen but we let them time after time to pump balls into the box. Utter rubbish

I went for could have been better, but needs more time. If you asked me in Jan I would have said he's doing an outstanding job. Asked me before Fleetwood I would have said he's doing OK. I hope by the end of the season I am not thinking of option 4.

At least Wycombe and Peterborough drew when I fully expected both to win, but its only a very minor consolation at the moment.

"...Knight has now returned to Derby for their clash against Ipswich Town this weekend and here's how the national media viewed his performance last night.

Extra.ie: "It is quite the jump from League One to facing Real Madrid superstar Camavinga. Needed to keep his wits about him given the lurking presence of Pavard. 6

Irish Mirror: Boundless energy but was caught off guard with Cullen’s pass for the goal. 6

SportsJoeIE: Knight played on the left side of a forward three and he started the game brightly, helping to start the Ireland press. It could be argued that the Derby County midfielder would be better used in central midfield, where Ireland were outnumbered, and he also arguably lacks the pace to play wide left in a forward three. 6

Balls.ie: Knight was tasked with doing much of the hard running in the middle third, pressing relentlessly when France were on the ball. He also looked to provide a threat in forward areas and launched quite a few Irish attacks. He offers a lot to the side. 7

L'Equipe: Ireland: Bazunu (5), Coleman (6), Collins (4), Egan (6), O'Shea (5) Cullen (4), Molumby (5), Knight (3) Doherty (4) Ogbene (6), Ferguson (3).

90mins: Helped Ireland clog up midfield but both of his shots on goal were blocked. 5 ..."

Got to love the French ratings. Imagine if they rated our players' performances over the last few weeks 😂.

Actually you’re kidding yourself if you believe that. Can’t speak for Barnsley and you were far the better team at Pride Park where we were abysmal but at the UniBol we were much the better team but just wasteful in front of goal. You pinched that one but that was a big blow to both of us today, especially after your first half performance. Posh, other than playing Ipswich have a pretty simple run in on paper so if we’re not careful they could pip one of us for that top six spot. We seem to be just coming back to form now that we’re getting our injured players back so hopefully we can push on to consolidate. It’s going to be a tough month looking ahead and I think we both need to accept that it’s going to be a real fight from here on in? 

Yes I am talking about the game in January, not the game at your place.

You only have to look at our form against the top half sides compared to the bottom 10 to show what is going on.

The amazing run we had coincided with playing crap teams. Beating Cambridge, Morecombe, Accrington and Forest Green in succession while throwing in a lucky last-gasp win at Port Vale got to people’s heads.

We are flat track bullies. And we struggle the moment we play a decent side.

 

Why did you leave out Bolton and Barnsley, who we totally outplayed in both games.

I don't get this we are too tired. Only two months ago we were playing fast pressing football and beating Port Vale with two late goals. I know are squad is small and has a larger contingent of older players. Obviously I expected a bit of a blip, but not the dramatic fall off we've seen over the last two months.

Have you seen like, any other derby season? We always do this. It’s the true Derby way.

I know you can't even get your hopes up when we go on a good run.

Can't understand how we've dropped off so much since our winning run in January. Never expected this.

An absolute shameful, shambolic first half performance. Can't believe what I watched in the first half.
