Derby v Burnley

[Yani P]

I thought it was proven 100% not a dive - didnt he actually tread on his foot - ref blew up we scored martin sent off...talk about a negative swing !!!!

It was a bit soft to be fair but if I recall correctly the controversy was over the fact he didn't really appeal for it, and we just wanted to play on if no pen was going to be given.

[Alph]

Yep, that was the thing. He didn't appeal. Well he didn't get chance because Robert Madley (?) was so sure he dived that he sent him off while Martin was still hitting the deck.

MR is that right? Don't the rules state that "attempts to deceive the referee by feigning injury or pretending to have been fouled must be sanctioned as unsporting behaviour which is misconduct punishable by a yellow card". Doesn't that suggest that the whistle should be blown straightaway?

Carson 5 - Didn't read thre potential for deflection on that shot , this is what happens when you swap keepers

Christie 9 - Always running forwards with the ball and it was Keogh who didn't close down the left wingers shot in time

Forsyth 3 - Not good passing, only things we did well was defend, tackle, win headers, make loads of runs and put crosses in 

Keogh 9 - superb performance, though i'd have only given it a 6 last year

Shackell 9 - Didn't play as well as Keogh but will give him the same mark because i still think he better than Keogh

Thorne 5 - Kept possession well and set up our goal but didn't run around enough and he had a 2 week rest !!

Butterfield 5 - Unlucky with the 30 yarder that hit the post and pssed brilliantly but no crunching tackles. Another Gladys 

Johnson 8 - Gave the ball away a lot but i loved the tackle that got him booked. Old Skool

Ince 2 - Other than beating his man and  scoring, didn't do anything and I didn't like his dad   

Martin 4 - Keeps falling over the big poof, stand up man and beat that 6'4" bloke in the air

Russell 8 - Ran all day, unlucky not to have an attempt at goal

 

I'm busy on Tuesday so got my report and ratings in now.

Up to 6th if we can win this, COYR.....

[DesertRam]

Just realising how a win here would put everything in perspective, 

6th doesn't sound that bad when you consider we have 5 new players most matches,

and didn't exactly hit the ground running! and after 8 matches - we do have to win thou. 

[ram1964]

Would. Personally consider anything other thAn a win a disappointment ,considering we have won the last two games away from home and the team should be improving game by game it's time for us to see a good overall performance ,playing fluent offensive football and making a statement of intent in front of home fans and probably a serious promotion rival that we are here to do business COYR.

Why are you guys looking at league table? It's way too early to look at it though.

[Carl Sagan]

A lot riding on this. Although it's a long season we can't afford to become detached from teams at the top. Time to start reeling them in. No pressure, but after today's results a win would be HUGE, getting us one point off third and not out of sight of the automatic places.

[RamNut]

1-1?

in 8 games we've only scored more than one goal once......v preston away.

Yet the defence looks reasonably solid.

we seem to be playing a slow possession based game. 

I counted 13 passes in one move v reading and yet we barely entered their half.

wake me up for the second half somebody.

[needles]

I would agree that we need to play with more tempo to be a genuine threat. We seem very passive and then have to go for it when we're goal down. Although, every time we've scored first (!) we've gone on to win...maybe Clements set up is coming through now? Another massive test on Monday though.

[Rampage]

froggg - I would like to point out that there are only two 'f' 's in frogg.
