Exeter City v Derby - Match Day Thread

What a hornet’s nest prompted me to google ‘how is xg calculated’ and was surprised to see what a blunt instrument that stat is. -

But Hourihane the players’ captain will start. If it has to happen, and it seems it does, he should be told that’s he’s got to run his balls off for 55 minutes, then come off the pitch and throw up. And he should have his own training regime which tones him for 55 not 90 minutes. We can learn things from the rugby fitness coaches -
Love rm but Todd was 20 years ahead of his time

Reassuring to have a league 1 manager, it will be suitable if we stay in league 1. Which we well might -
If all our older players did the extra training Collins does, we’d likely have gone up last year. Biggest difference between this season and last imo is that he’s started timing his headers much better. Oh and he’s not had Didzy stealing the limelight

Plenty of drivel in this interview. And when he does talk about the football, why can’t he just say he loves NmL’s pace without saying how much faster he is than Collins. It’s just so unnecessary -

Are you sure he said cbt hadn’t been training on grass ? -
Has DC lost faith in the recruitment process?
kevinhectoring replied to sage's topic in Derby County Forum
Yes. Playing on crap pitches, and against thuggish defenders who are often slow but who know precisely what rubbish refs will let them get away with. -

The stats posted on here are pretty compelling in W’s favour -

I assume you’re referring to your comment that: ‘he had a couple of poor performances and was dropped’. Fact is, he made one horrendous error resulting in a pen. Not a reason to drop your better keeper. W is a PL level keeper. V is decent and solid for this div. But there is not a single aspect of V’s game that reaches W’s standard. If you don’t agree, maybe seek out GoC’s stats on the topic. If Warne doesn’t see it, I’m worried. But I’d guess he does see it and that there is a reason for this that’s unrelated to performance in matches. Sorry to go on but watching V deciding whether or not to ‘come’ stresses me out. -

According to another poster, Wildsmith has indicated he wants to leave. That seems pretty plausible because imo there is no footballing reason to prefer V -

If your implication is that Warne thinks Vickers is better … I think Warne deserves more credit -

Er, no. Anyone else want a go ? -

his throw ins alone are better than most of our corners. It’s lucky for us his punishment is over. Anyone know what Wildsmith is being punished for ? -

Uplifting - especially after our recent performances and surely a big tonic for those who thought the transfer window was disastrous. Adams could transform us. Maybe this is Bradley’s turning point. 3 at the back can be strong so long as the rest are doing the right things at the right time. (It’s not all about formation.) Ward (where has he been?) was good and so good to see Sibley look like a footballer after a disappointing spell. Well done Warne for taking NML off. Still not convinced we’ve got the right starting 11 or that we change things when we should ; but this is a squad that should win promotion and after today I think they’ll believe it But it’s a poignant moment: with Bird’s news it seems like the end of an era. His ball into NML said it all. Can only hope that Bristol suffer a massive financial crisis leading to insolvency before the season’s end -

Love the look of Adams. A different team to what we’ve seen last 2 games. But Bird making his fans sad with a few touches of class -

I wish Collo would stop trying to kick the ball thru defenders
