Jacko1983 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 over the last few weeks we have been playing at home as we do away. and if we carry on playing like that, with only 12 points between us and relegation, the season is far from over.... 3 points against huddersfield please nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramarena Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Blah, mistake, blah, their quality, blah, the weather, blah, they have quality, blah, sorry our 17 year olds having a little bit of a bad time against the England international that they had in there, and the Danish international aswel, so sorry about that, a 17 year old he's just having a little dip at the moment with a 20 year old along side him. It's a shame really ...blah, wage bills, blah, perspective, blah, 17 years old, blah, the conditions, blah...bullshit bullshit bullshit. "IT'S A SHAME". Well Nigel, if that's all it is to you then you can f*ck off, because it means a helluva lot more to me and the other 20,000 that turn up week in week out. Er er er, Yeah the same 17 year old that should be given a rest Nige. As you say he's done really well, but he's 17 FFS. If it was about age then you could have played a 20 year old Hendrick in CM with a 26 year old Bryson, if age is the problem stick 54 year old Metgod in the middle of the park. NC didn't complain about these things when we drew 1-1 with them at home earlier in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weston-super Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 W Bret Wilson (investor) statement on being asked about possible incoming players in Jan "isn't that Nigel's call?" Straight from the horses mouth. Bret Wilson also said on twitter and I quote "watch Nigel and Sam show their cards"....re incoming transfers during this window?????.

sunnyside Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Four hour round trip to watch that performance. Only Hendrick & Legzdins emerged with any credit, the rest very poor. Never been a Jamie Ward fan and he was particularly poor today. Would always start Jacobs ahead of him. Will Hughes needs to drop out for a couple of games and Bryson not his usual self. Be gutted if Blackburn draw MK Dons or Luton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex W Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 He was protecting his players, Will's 17 and Hendrick's younger than me, he's just defending them. He's quite right about Danny Murphy being able to run the midfield too, along with Morten Gamst Pederson if they're on their game. They're a good side on paper and in terms of personnel, they've been ***** for a while but with a half decent manager (and without the Venky's) they'd be far higher up the table. I'd expect those players to run the game against our lot, they're significantly better players than ours, or atleast they are when they turn up. I'm not excusing the performance here, but he's protecting his players in that interview. Was he sarky? Yes. More than likely because his side just put in a **** performance and he isn't in the mood to talk to the media, particularly when they're questioning a young midfield who played against better players who, for once, actually played to their abilities. It's not a new thing that Nigel doesn't like interviews after matches at times is it. You can see with the Theo question at the end he's hacked off. In the mood he was in he more than likely saw that one as half injury enquiry, half stirring trouble. He wasn't in the mood for the interview and so came across alot worse than he would've wanted to. This is not a new revelation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Ram Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 The ONLY positive I can take from today is that I'm hoping that Clough will have to change the squad for next time out. Hughes out, Jacobs in. Coutts out, Bavies in. Jacobs at LM, Wardy at ST Sammon not on his feckin own for 90 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramshankered Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Bleugh. What a load of rubbish. Crap formation. Shoe-horning in 3 centre-mids. Leaving subs till we're 3 goals down. Certain players clearly picked cos they're the managers flavour of the month rather than on merit. It was Crystal Palace all over again - except at home and against a team that aren't exactly firing on all cylinders. I don't get to games much but seen Sammon play three times now and he has been crud on every occasion. Clough really ballsed up today. Not happy.

CrimsonRam Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I think that interview just exhibits he has the exact same frustration that the fans feel and is powerless to do a great deal about it at the moment. Yes he can change the formation tactics etc but in terms of the squad he has clearly done everything that has been asked of him and is not in a position to compete for the players that other clubs are able to buy. I feel for the guy, it must be horribly frustrating, what annoys me more so than anything is that earlier on in the week we can have such a positive happy thread about the international call ups and then we have a horribly poor performance in the cup and suddenly the most popular hobby on the forum seems to be wrist slashing. I don't see what removing clough will do, it seems people agree we don't have a squad which is yet ready to gain promotion, we can't add to it. Why is sacking Clough the answer?

Hucknall Ram Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Again Clough picked the "best players" not the "best team". His substitutions was very questionable, brings on Jacobs, keeps it 4 5 1, three mins later brings on Davies and pushes Jacobs upfront, (who only played there a handful if times) what's the point?. My wife was me at the game, tbh she knows **** all about tactics in football but even she turned round to me and said "why at 3-0 down bring a centre half on for a centre half? Bring a forward on and go for it" Clough needs to grow some balls and pick two from Hughes, Bryson and Hendrick, or even put Hughes out wide on the left. The fact he won't is having a impact on results now. He does this every season, settles on a team/formation, results are good then he changes it and we hit a bad spell. One question Mr Clough, 451 isn't working away so why try it and do it home?!?! Radio Derby was asking fans, wouldn't you go 451 to compact the threat of Danny Murphy? No, the fact we lost 3-0 proves that it didn't work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaddesdenRam Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 We dominated possessio and they didn't have a shot hardly apart from the goal. We just couldn't score defended very well apart from the opening minute. It was a nothing game where we won the defensive and midfield battle but were woeful in the final third.

notts_ram Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 it might of been a case of clough protecting his players in the public and behind the scenes he told them exactly what he though, that being "you were ****" Is that a sign of progress then, instead of publicly criticising his players such as Cwyka he now criticises them behind closed doors, has only taken Clough 4 years to learn that motivational technique. Maybe in another 4 years time he will have learned the basis of tactics, whooooaaa steady on now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
