RamLad1884 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 The last time Derby looked really convincing was when they were attacking as a team under Stevie Mac. Of late that same attacking football has been back, but we're also seeing the defence faulter similairly to before. Is this the way to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ram Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 We've seen what the other way to go is, spent half a season watching it, wish I hadn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I know what you mean. 4 wins in a row is a bit crap when you think about it. Ffs it's not like we've been conceding at least 2 per game like we were this time last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 3 points for a win you have to go for it. Wassall has quite a few wins , a few defeats too but only one draw.. the infamous 3-3 draw at Rotherham. Hopefully hes learned from his mistakes on that one, only one sub used in the last two games not 3 crazy substitutions. With two attacking fullbacks we may not have the best defence but we will create chances I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Sky stats don't lie....... Brizzle scored from only 2 shots on target. We had 15 shots and 7 on target. That's a great away performance in my book. The goals conceded were statistically very unusual. If we're playing an attacking high risk game then may get the occasional aberration. Oh- and a come from behind victory. Not had many of them this season. COYR...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping nobody would quote me, turns out we conceded against Bolton, so went for the cheeky edit... But we're definitely playing football in the right way, it's not like we weren't defensively suspect under Clement. Ultimately it takes a lot of time and consistency to build a really defensively solid team and this back 5 haven't played together long thanks to PC's chopping and changing (e.g. getting rid of Warnock).

EnigmaRam Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 It's not like we are conceding loads. What's that about 3 in the last 4 games? First goal conceded at home on Saturday in 5 home games? A bit different from last year if you ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The penalty for bolton was a completely avoidable one. Tonight's goals were also avoidable. Not complaining as I'd be happy to concede 2 a week if we're gonna score 3/4 every game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssendonRam Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 True that we've been solid lately but the worry is that (a) we do seem to go on runs with our defensive frailties; and (b) these mistakes can pop up anywhere. That said, there is literally no point carrying on about it now. It wasn't that long ago that many of us couldn't see how our form would see us in the playoffs. It's turned around! We are in the playoffs! And, to put it bluntly, we have more chance of winning promotion from 5th (or 4th) than we ever did from our finishing position last season.
