When we drew 2-2 at their place last season it was a great fairly even game but my goodness we more than matched them in a great game. Hats off to McLaren for that.

The_Sheriff Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Biting my lip because i think everyone on here knows my view on Martin. Don't think it is a dilemma though it's obvious who should (or shouldn't ) still be starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archied Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Think the problem is deeper as no matter who we have started this season and in which shape it has not really made much difference to the performance, the team spirit is and has been lacking 99% of the time if a coach/ any coach can get that back we are stronger than we were at our best last season ( minus will of course) , it's up to Mel to put the right man there in charge , we have our views who that would be but Mel makes the final decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnero Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 And Bucko's parts are significantly bigger than Shackell's. Innit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robtheram84 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I feel Bent is due a run of games can you see Bent going 5 games without a goal plus ince looks much more threatening with Bent playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Can point fingers at any individuals. It's the collective that's the problem. Player A can play alright but he needs Player B to play to his strengths to be anything more than alright. When was the last time you'd give a player 9/10? 8/10? Don't you think that's odd? We have some good players and none are flying the flag? Usually an out of form team will have a few players that are in form. The problem with us is nobody really knows the plan. They don't know their role within the team. Half the time they don't even know the team. They don't know each other and the movements of each other. We've lost that telepathy. There are no good partnerships. Even Keogh and Shackell are confused where to aim the ball. And playing 442 changed the positional awareness even more. All forward players look crap. Because we can't play through teams and we haven't got the players to go over them. Major work needed now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really Derby related, but it'd be interesting to see how many points Bournemouth would have had Arter not missed the start of the season, Atsu and Gradel hadn't have picked up ACL's before the season even started and Wilson hadn't done his ACL after seven games (having bagged 5 goals by that point).

Got to feel for Bent and Weimann(as a striker). It's not healthy for team morale that he has been favouritised. I find it really strange how people want us to build the team around a player who hasn't scored a goal in open play for 3-4 months. Yes he has scored 20+ goals over the last few seasons but I feel a spell on the bench for the foreseeable will be beneficial for both him and the team. 3-4 months??????????? Hahahahahaha you're so wrong at that one, it's 2 months at the moment. Martin will start ahead of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
