When I was a teacher, the pupils used to tell me that the exams were easier than the tests that I gave them. Pearson is about to increase the work rate of our players.

To give Derby the benefit of doubt, it was our first game of pre season. Do we know how many games Benfica have played so far? I'd take a guess it isn't their first game.

Expected us to be less lethargic given the clubs overemphasis on how fit the the players are after the break. Clearly not that much. Think pretty much everyone knows that we didn't spend wisely last year. There is general fitness and match fitness. Unfortunately you can only get proper match fitness from playing matches where you aren't holding back against your team mates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 The main thing I took from that is...TFFT, the football's back. It's felt like a long summer and the kids haven't even broken up yet. And however poor Derby County might have been tonight, they are still about a thousand times better than the Labour Party about now...and Derby County will get better.

DCFCArmy Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Ajax lost 4-3 to some unknown 2nd division Austrian side last week, have been completely outplayed for an hour... so don't go overboard over this result. Newcastle lost 6-1 to an MLS side the last time they were down in the championship?? before strolling it during the season. Its our first game and it takes time to build match sharpness, you can't just turn it on like a tap.. Nadal after coming back from injury lost to some 200th ranked player on clay.. 18 months later he's won 3 majors in a row... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they're at the same stage of pre-season as us, while waiting for their internationals to rejoin training. They're very good mind, while we're nowhere near their level.

Ninos Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 They're a champions league outfit with budding superstars like zivkovic. Wow. They move the ball with attacking purpose and have creative flair on the ball. It was never going to be a contest . We had one player who could make their team - Will Hughes. He was class out there in his composure and his creativity but had little in terms of players that could work with him. When measured against a Benfica our players don't stand up to the test and some - we saw who they were - are not even championship level. We would have held up better with our regular back line and Thorne were he recovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaRam Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Several first team players not even playing at all new manager trying new formations several under 21 and below players in the team shall we see where we are at at the end of pre season before the pitch forks come out!!

eddie Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Rubbish, Derby. You were only playing a side who haven't finished below second place in the Portuguese leaue once in the last seven years, won eight domestic cup competitions over the same seven years, and in the same period been quarter-finalists in the Champions League twice and runners up in the Europa League twice. We should be burying tripe like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFCArmy Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I'm amazed at the reaction from some Derby fans on other forums, one bloke even going as far to say Pearson looked clueless..... ffs man calm down its a pre season friendly match against the champions of a major footballing national league, we're unfit and trying out new tactics and formations. Got to love and feel sorry for some of these people tbh.. If that's the majority of Derby fans in the stadium at the start of the season I'm expecting Pearson to shout something at them no doubt about it, because their just clowns ffs.
