Carl Sagan Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 There was one utterly ridiculous thing that we did. Jamie Ward came on and proceeded to waste a corner and also a really dangerous freekick situation. How come no one at the club has noticed he is the worst set-piece taken in the Championship? I really like Jamie Ward and he does a lot of good things, but striking a dead ball is not one of them. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't get quite predict the free kick right as I thought he would hit the wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTedd Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Why are there highlights of the West Ham vs west Brom game and the Blackburn game on the bbc website, but none of ours. A conspiracy I tell you. No one likes us. We're basically millwall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Poor ref . more cards than valentines day for nothing fouls. Once it went to 10 v 11 the game was severely compromised as a contest. We were dominant before the red card, creating loads of chances. I thought schteve dithered over the substitutions. I would like to have seen hughes and ward both on and earlier. Roos - 5 - looked a bit dodgy, didn't take crosses and made me nervous. Christie - 6 - good and bad. Final ball could be better Warnock - 6 - looked ok whilst he was there mascarell - 6 unfortunate to be subbed Keogh - 6 - sitting down in the box again Shotton - 6 - ok Bryson -5 - still disappointing - handled in the box Hendrick - 6 - pity he can't shoot Lingard - 6 - a bit rusty but nearly scored Bent - 6 - could have scored another from 6 yards Dawkins - 7 - very good first half, seemed to lose concentration, but our best player today. Forsyth - 6 - very busy Ward - 7 - lively Thomas - 5 - average Schteve 5 - come on this is the 5th round, seemed to dither over the subs.

I really like Jamie Ward and he does a lot of good things, but striking a dead ball is not one of them. Why? True. Often there are things it seems like everyone in the world (this forum) knows, but the abatement knows better, and we should really just let them get on with their job. But wtf, Ward has been pants at freekicks for as long as I can remember. It's clear for all to see. He must hit some pearlers in training or something.

Statham512 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Not a bad performance would have been a win had Warnock stayed on the pitch. Tad disappointed but rather lose this and beat Rotherham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peakram Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Thought we were still slightly the better team even with 10 men (Radio Derby saying "Reading deserved the win"? not too sure about that, most of their chances came on the break after a stray pass or two). Roos 7 Christie 7 Warnock 6 Keogh 7 Shotton 6 Mascarell 6 (Forsyth 6) Hendrick 7 Bryson 7 (Thomas 6) Bent 7 Dawkins 7 (Ward 6) Lingard 7 Referee: 4 (tho suppose couldn't argue with a second yellow for Warnock, the ridiculous play acting by Mackie afterwards made absolutely certain of it, not sure there was much more than minimal contact) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTedd Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 In fact, all we need to do is draw by 3 or more, and we go top on goal difference. I can't believe no one but on this. Disappointing. I should take it as a compliment. You clearly all think I'm too smart for such an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a definite second yellow for Warnock. Referee got it right. You could tell by Stephen's reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmo Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I know we all harp on about this, but we really miss Hughes when he is not playing. There is no control in the midfield. Hendrick and Bryson remind me of Gerrard and Lampard for England, both good players just can't play together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peakram Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Not sure the ref got a lot right though overall, one of the poorest shows of the season for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peakram Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Dunno about Hendrick and Bryson together, they did play together for long periods last season and we did ok when Hughes was often on the bench in his continuing development. Though probably now he has advanced to a higher level we miss him much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambalin Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Just watched it a few times Warnock was a little unlucky to get a second yellow missed Mackie totally with his left foot when trying to block and both of their momentum meant his trailing leg was the one that caught him .Nothing malicous just on of those incidents when the clearing player kicks into the leg of the blocking player happens loads of times.

Guest Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Bradford v Sunderland is not being televised as well. Neither is Blackburn v Stoke. I attend rarely Derby games and am going tomorrow. I missed the penalty v Southport as I had gone by then and I have not seen Derby win at home when I have been there since Newcastle in the Premier League. 8 games all defeats! My bad run continues. I am going to go next Saturday at home as well. I know we will lose as I will be there sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_Stand_Ram Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I thought we still had the best of it tbh. Very naive from an experienced player. Two stonewall yellows. Missed Hughes massively. Bryson had a mare. No player deserved a rating over 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Highlights http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31423106 Thats not a red card. The first booking is harsh, the second is ridiculous. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A BLOODY CUP TIE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
