I wish I could tell you his name. I saw him a couple of times and he would treat me like a long lost son. Only I couldn't understand a word he was saying .... super thick Brummie accent. I used to smile and nod, and laugh in the pauses. I reckon my Father-in-Law kept him on for 'total on-field winningness' as US Sports analysts would say.

Don't get me wrong in all this as well, I might come across as a "happy clapper", far from it, it's been hard watching the football now and I'm getting no enjoyment what so ever with what's been served up so far, especially when we've seen how good it can be with the majority of these players. 5hr round trip to watch what has mostly been utter ***** and there's no improvement in the hot dogs either, how the hell can you serve crunchy hot dogs? Doesn't mean we have to treat our players like a bunch of numb nuts that know no different and we could be even better given half a chance. No footballer can go his entire career playing the same role in the same formation under every manager. I guess I'm blessed with more patience than others and a desire to see stability, if that means taking a step backwards to go even further forwards I'm up for it. Pearson may not be the right man, but I'm giving him more than 8 games to prove himself. More power to you mate. You've done a good job and I'm sure folk appreciate having somewhere to post through good times and bad. My comment was tongue in cheek in any case, as I'm sure you gathered. As for on the field exploits, I share your views. It's been a bitter pill so far this season and today's result will only compound the pressure. I'm going to simply grin and bear it as I think any kneejerk reaction from Rush and Morris would create more problems than it would solve. If we're still languishing in the relegation slots mid-season I'll re-evaluate, but I'd like to think we won't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are, and Pearson has successfully demotivated the squad, then the re-evaluation will involve planning for League 1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The adjustment period can be frustrating when you're paying good money to watch and travel in some cases, I feel it in my pocket as well, but this is great to hear from a player when I often read on this forum that 4-3-3 is the only way. Good footballers can adapt, yes they do. Well within 5 minutes of Hughes and Butterfield we playing CM together we conceded 2 goals with no cover in front of the defence.

We play 433 and suddenly the players look happy, the midfield are running the game, creating chances, Butterfield playing in a great ball for the penno. Defence looking better with a CDM holding position, full backs getting forward, Hughes and Butterfield making runs to play little through balls. Yeah nothing has changed.

The manager has left which has been reported having a bust up with the players, yes nothing has changed has it other than the formation, if you want to believe that go for it!

dcfcfan1 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Anyone who thinks 4-4-2 suits derby should quit watching football WE WASTED 9 ******* GAMES WITH THAT PERSISTENT 4-4-2 BULLCRAP and we sold our top scorer and replaced him with someone worse (Although I like vydra) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must admit the way Pearson had his 442 (not just team shape but the tactical plan along with it) set up wasn't conducive to getting the most out of our squad.

Easy to blame it all on formation although it's also missing one other change tonight, the manager. This current squad can play 433, 442, 352, 361, 271, 145.... They can all play in any system provided by the manager. But, it doesn't take a genius to work out that the squad is best suited to 433. Derby play best in a 433 due to the current squad available. If we had Tottenham's players, 4231 would be best. If we had Leicester's players, then 4411/442 would then be best. Unfortunately, we appointed a manager so clueless that he purposely ignored the obvious and was so stubborn that he refused to adapt the squad, instead persisting the squad adapt to him. It's not just the system though, it's also the style of football. Clement's 433 was much different to McClaren's 433. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 82 minutes of 433. One up. Switch to 442, concede late goal. Still adapting i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
