jam doughnut Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Derby didn't decide to defend deep as part of a tactical master plan. They ended up playing so deep because they couldn't do anything about it. McClaren stated it wasn't part of the game plan. The reason we ended up so deep was because the midfield was AWOL for most of the game. Thorne and Bryson in particular weren't at the races. These two and Hendrick have proven they are excellent players at this level so what went wrong? Probably nerves, AKA as 'bottle'. Thursday would have been the biggest game they have ever played in, which now moves on to tomorrow being the biggest game they will have played in. If the midfield turns up tomorrow we will breeze it. If they bottle it again we might have a problem. Anyway, 2-1 to Derby. Russell fgs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Strange forecast? Match Forecast: Derby will score a long shot - unlikely Derby will make a comeback if they go behind - it won't happen Brighton will steal the ball from the opposition often - possible but irrelevant Brighton will create many scoring chances - unlikely Derby will score as a result of an opposition error - debatable There will be a high number of cards - average Brighton will dominate possession - no they won't Derby will score as a result of individual skill - probable - agreed! Brighton will control the game in the opposition half - no they won't Derby will be shown a high number of cards - no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hector10 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 High tempo early - goal follows - pass the cigars - 3-1 Derby - fgs Martin Something like that or (for those following Derby for a few years)probably not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
