turbo Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Don't remember us being top of the league with them 3 in the team No because we were playing catch up but when those 3 were in the team/squad we went on a run that took us from? to 3rd play off final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Don't think we massively miss Bamford really, he was well out of the picture towards the end anyways apart from the odd fleeting sub appearance. Maybe Wisdom's defensive attributes but we should have gained attacking wise, though Forsyth's lack of quality forward play on the other flank has negated that somewhat. I think he is a level above Ibe and suited the way we play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 I miss Baiano, Wanchope and Stimac big time. I miss Saunders, Tinman and Micklewhite big time as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorne Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 We miss Bamford. Dear god Leon Best is worse than Connor Sammon, at least Sammon scored once (I think). NEED a Bamford type player. Confused why we did go for him. He ended up at Middlesborough and isn't getting played much there, he could take a Bests role and it would be a massive improvement. Don't understand we he was forced to play as a winger last season for us. Ironically he's exactly the type of player we need, someone who can come on with 20 mins to go and score to win games. Best is supposed to be doing that but he's tripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorne Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Bamford has started the last 4 odd games for boro Didn't know that. Still would argue we miss a player such as him. And he's miles better than Best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WystonRam Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 That doesn't mean it was Christies fault. We are Christie fans in our house , and my daughter has his name on her shirt. Whilst he was not solely at fault today he struggled for the whole game, probably his poorest performance in a Derby shirt. With young players it happens sometimes and today was one of those days...

Angry Ram Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 We only miss Thorne IMO. Bamford did not want to stay here so end of. I like Christie and think we have almost gone like for like there. The only thing we are doing wrong at the moment is the pace of play. We are too slow at the moment which makes us predictable and easy to play against. Brentford in the second half attacked with pace, our build ups were too slow. I have also noticed Steve is a little more conservative in his approach. Last season he would have taken more risks to win that game yesterday. The Coutts sub was not going to change the game. There is huge expectation on Steve this season and it's interesting to see how he has changed his approach to the task. As little Angry says, if we are there or thereabouts when Thorne comes back, we will go up automatically. It's a long season and there is no way we are going to steam roller every team. We are a bit like everyone's cup final at the moment and we need to cope with that. I actually think once we start coming up against the better teams we will see a better Derby County. No need to burn the village yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardifframs Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 How many assists has Christie got already? Don't think we're missing in that position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Bamford has started the last 4 odd games for boro And gets to play at striker, not on the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 PS BOTH Brentford goals were scored from the right side of of our defence ... What an awful way of looking at it. Where does the build up to these goals go through? All through our right back? Does it Eck. Just seen the winner, do you not think we should block the cross? (From the left, Forsyth maybe?) or maybe a midfielder be infront of the defence to stop it trickling across the whole of our back four? Collective mistakes, not just our right hand side.

notts_ram Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Have we already written the inscription on this seasons headstone if we dont get promotion saying all because George Thorne got injured jeez lets pack it in now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Bit concerned but have to admit that the likes of Bucko and Bryson are massively down on last season. No coincedence also that we have lost both games Buckland has been in goal. Think this proves what an asset Granty is and the sooner he's back the better. Also we need a better option up front than Best. For Tues we need to tweak thigs a little. My take: Roos Christie Forsyth Keogh Shotton Eustace Hendrick Hughes Russell Bryson Russell Martin Go 4-1-3-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLACML Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 To be fair, I thought Christie should have cut out the cross for their second. He just kinda stands there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read what I said in the exchanges, " whilst he was not solely at fault" , he did however have a big influence on conceding due to his positioning. I agree that we could have done better in other positions in the build up to both goals. However, he was badly missing positionally and at any level that usually ends up in what we saw yesterday. He will I am sure be will be analysing this with McC and Simmo and I expect him to learn from it and get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
