CumbrianRam Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Brian Clough would be turning in his grave if he saw the football Derby County’s under 18 and under 21 sides played against Barnsley this week, says Reds coach Mark Burton. The Oakwell club’s under 18s side came back from two goals down to win 3-2 at Derby on Saturday but the under 21s could not repeat the feat after making the same trip on Monday and lost 2-0. Burton – who emphasises possession-based, passing football – criticised County’s approach under manager Nigel Clough, whose father Brian managed the Rams then won two European Cups with rivals Nottingham Forest. “Brian Clough was one of the best footballing managers this country has ever produced but his son just gets his teams to smash long balls down the channels,” Burton told the Chronicle. “Brian Clough would be turning in his grave if he saw the type of football Derby play at all levels now. The first team do it and so do the youth teams. It is not the way to develop players. “Our under 21s passed Derby off the park on Monday and, if they didn’t have Franky Fielding in goal, we would have scored.” http://www.barnsley-chronicle.co.uk/sport/article/5877/burton-clough-would-turn-in-his-grave-if-he-saw-derby-play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaddesdenRam Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I'm sure we play good football at pride park. most our goals do come from balls along the floor. An example: None of Paul Coutts' assist have been in the air. Also who would we have to win the route 1 balls in the under 21 side?? not theo, Tyson or Doyle that's for sure they don't play that type of football. Finally it's not like we have to be Barcelona to win football games we are in the championship afterall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastKentRam Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Bit harsh based on some of the stuff played this season, but after watching us at Palace and Peterborough plus the previous 4 seasons, not too far from the truth. Saying that, i'd like to hear from someone who was at both those games to find out how we played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asanovic Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Interesting that for a club that smash long balls to the channels, we have a creative midfielder that is being courted by Premiership teams and has just been called up to the U-21 squad. I say stuff like this after being beaten in my 7 a side league by a team that defended well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rams_Forever86 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I Have watched all 3 play and all 3 are different.The first team pass and move not sideways passing.The u21s play to the wide men and get crosses in the box and like to win alot of corners especiallly throughout the season with Naylor and Val's height.Then the u18s play a mixture depending who is playing as they use the players strengths like if they have pacey forwards then alot of over the top balls etc. This guy probably wants to get himself some fame and saying bad things about the best club in the world when he comes from the Relegation favourites is a comedy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 We're not exactly known for our football. We do our fair share of long balls. This season it started well enough but now we have a few away games under our belt we do hoof. At home we're much better. But there have been some awful football under Nigel in the years he's been here. Don't see why we'd be singled out for it. We're not like Stoke, WHU who aim to play like this. Just sometimes it goes a bit stale. Movement and confidence dip. We're ordinary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randombc Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Well this guy is used to watching Barcelona Barnsley everyday in training, so when he comes up against a pretty ordinary side in us and we win it must be rather frustrating 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ph34r' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ph34r:' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFCfranco Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I wouldn't really care if we had a different manager. But the fact that Nigel is our manager and this **** says things that is completely disrespectful towards Nigel and his father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Teale Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Barnsley are crap but to fair do actually try and pass there way out from the back. We under clough have hit lots of long balls for the front men to chase, this year we have passed it more and do look to work the ball especially in the final 3rd yet don't overly play through Hendrick and Bryson and well we play is normally down to how well the front men get hold of the ball.

Mr Tibbs Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Mark Burton can get ******. Stick to worrying about his own team. If we can churn out some more like Hughes with this supposed philosophy then bring it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season has been some of the best passing football I've seen from Derby in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
