Duracell Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Both full backs put in terrific performances. I was harsh to give Fossie a 6 in the match thread, it was at least a 7 - it's just Christie looked so good coming forward today, it's hard not to mark him down for giving the ball away more often in comparison. Forsyth's defending was magnificent today, though. His concentration has come on leaps and bounds. A rare case of a Derby scapegoat turning his career around. He was the fall guy this time last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Except for Forsyth. Really? He is a defender, and his defending was utterly faultless today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thierry Ennui Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I'm being harsh, I've just been very disappointed with him going forward this season. I guess he's been asked to be more defensive, it's crazy how we've suddenly switched from a mostly left sided team to a mostly right sided one when attacking. Forsyth looks a little demotivated to me but I must agree that he defended excellently today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robglosta Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 MOTM for me, so good. Several BBC pundits were singing his praises too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Christie was quality again today...him and ward linked up really well...better version of the brayford and coutts combo hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsmini Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Christie was quality today. His forward runs down the wing were excellent along with his cut ins. He looks very comfortable with the ball in the opposition area. Links up very well with Ward and Russell. Certainly a good prospect. Defended very well and so far looks better than Wisdom when going forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maydrakin Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 You can't have both Forsyth and Christie bombing forward constantly, so the introduction of Christie has curtailed Forsyth's forward running a bit. Thought Christie was very good today, but the last 10 minutes he was out on his feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deano180 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 One misplaced pass in the second half was all I can remember him doing wrong. Other than that, looked very composed, and links up well with Ward on the right. Got in a poor position from a throw in that could of cost us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclej Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 My man of the match. Wonderful performance. He wanted the ball, made himself available, ran at defenders, won headers and made 99% of his passes. Solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I don't think we'd get anyone as good as Wisdom defensively this season but Christie does not disappoint. Obviously he'll have his flaws as he's a young player but his ability going forward is frightening for the opposition especially if they've got a pretty boy "I'm not tracking back" sort on the left wing. Ward and Christie today linked up better than Coutts and Brayford used to and that's the biggest praise I can give them at the minute considering most of our good play came down the right with the latter pair. It feels like Eustace just added more balance to the team and that meant we could attack more freely. Expecting a good performance Tuesday and Saturday now to build on yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombo Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Sometimes I don't think he really knows what he's doing until he's done it going forward. But that shows that he has a knack for the attacking fullback role. His talent comes from instinct, not training, which is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knabby crackers Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 What a player, a colossus today!! Best overlapping full back we've had since the days of NIsh! Colossus? You appear to be easily pleased, he had a better game, possibly his best so far. Nishy was good but I would put Buckley, M. Forsyth and Chris Powell far ahead of Christie.
