BramcoteRam84 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Strange game today. First 35 mins we were nowhere, from 35-80 mins we dominated, and the last portion of the game was just plain bizarre, from the ref, the fans in the south stand keeping the ball, the substitutions (which actually worked but still very unlike anything we've seen from McClaren before) but we deserved the win. Ince and Hughes (2nd half) different class. We saw Johnny's full repetoire of endeavour, cutting edge and frustrating lack of cutting edge today, but overall did well. He's not the answer for where we want to go but we certainly can't sell him unless we have a top quality replacement lined up. Bryson was shocking until 20 mins before he went off. He was a bit more like it then, hopefully a sign of things to come and i think should keep his place for the next game. Thought we missed Bradley today. De Sart didn't do enough from a football sense and was a complete liability defensively. It was like watching a taller version of Omar Mascarell, although Mascarell at least got on the ball more. It's still too early to judge, but from watching Leeds game and today he's not the answer. Vital win, still think we need to strengthen in midfield if we are to get top 6 and promotion. On today's performance though, there's no way Reading will stay there. They were shocking at times although in part due to an outstanding display of pressing by Derby in the second half.

needles Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Proved in 90 minutes what we all knew...both that we aren't the finished article and that we're capable of giving anyone a game at this level. Cracking entertainment. Well done lads. Bryson had a spell mid way through the second half when it started to click for him. I'd persevere with him on Friday because if he can get his form going he gives us a dimension none of the other midfielders can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerbyMark Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Big, big win today... All hail Bent's bellend haha ( it came off his thigh I reckon lol) Ref trying to make a name for himself..8 mins injury time! Giving them soft free kicks around our box...c***! These free header's from corner's are becoming a worry...put unnecessary pressure on ourselves when the game should've been wrapped up at 3-1. But can't complain... we're still in the mix for play off's. Bring on Lestah..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that Ince was booked for his dissent at the refs bad decision, bit of effing and Jeff in general I fancy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult defending corners when you have Olssen, Bryson, De Sart, Hughes, Ince and Russell in your team, none of whom are going to win many in the air. The other four have to mark usually the two central defenders and two forwards. We miss Johnson and also Chris Martin, who couldn't win the ball upfront but always seemed to win it when defending.

KBB Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 All of their set pieces were built around blocking and "screen" style plays, more often seen in basketball timeout restarts. their second goal was a result of a good ball in, a player making a front to back looped run with his marker being screened by other players to stop them tracking his run to enable him to get the free header. a free header from a set piece isn't always the result of shocking marking. Yes it often is, but not always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As unfashionable as he is, the fitness he showed getting up and down the left all game was remarkable considering he's only had one weeks training. Good on you Marcus, Olsson, Baby. You were at a different match than me,at fault for the first goal,he can only kick it the way hes looking.useless/hopeless. max lowe for left back if he can keep fit.

No these players aren't going to win many headers but the least they can do is pick players up and put pressure on 'em...we seem to switch off at corner's sometimes.. allowing free header's is criminal when u you've just gone 3-1 and the game was won.. Still, Derby always do it the hard way.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless pea rollers to Carson count as chances these days! "We've got the ball", their fans "chant". Well get better with it then, awful for our second Derby under Clement Reading are.
