Derby blood Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 This is why I love the f.a cup, great game last night, full of passion from the players, and the crowd, can not believe the gate was only 25000, those of you who did not go you missed a cracking game, great goals by Bent and Bryson, who was excellent last night, also thought Baird was excellent, Carson very good good as usual, also thought Ince and Hughes showed why they would be very good players in the premier league. Still think we can beat Leicester at the King Power, want to get as far as possible in the f.a cup, as I for one love this competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not how much you have it's what you do with it. That's always been my excuse anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 My collected thoughts having driven to glasgow after the game last night: Decent atmosphere. I don't mid slightly less fans if we're going to support the team. Entertaining game. Leicester are not special - that was a full strength fester side giving it their best to win and only just got the draw. Shame about the OG but it wasn't until we were one down we got going properly. both attacks looked good, both defences flaky. Hughes was not just having a good game, he was showing off for telly a bit in 1st half as well - really enjoying the game and clearly capable vs PL midfielder. Once he went off I got the sense it'll be all them til the end. Gave a good account of ourselves. Loved both our goals, thought both their goals were rubbish goals to concede (although i grant they did have good chances they didn't take) I was gutted JR put his header wide, i would have been beautiful. As a team, I thought we did well, I was happy with the draw in the end, just a shame it was so late in the game they got the goal. When Hughes went off and butters came on, leicester were on top, so it was going to be difficult, he lacks confidence at the moment, I'm convinced that is the main thing with a few of our players. I knew we weren't going to get the shout on the pen. We'll probably lose the replay by two or three goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Totally agree with @jono, @RadioactiveWaste and @Derby blood. What's not to like about a great cup tie against the current Premier league champions under floodlights and on tv? Tickets were reasonably priced too so I was surprised to see how few of my usual season ticket 'neighbours' were around. Of course they could have moved to the West Stand for the night! Fantastic opportunity for both clubs to gain a confidence boosting win and the atmosphere reflected that. I thought both home and away fans were in great voice. A real topsy-turvy game that kept you on the edge of your seat throughout. Bent first villain then hero, Bryson reminding us why he is such a fans' favorite, Ince and Hughes oozing premier league class. Just as importantly Olsson with his best game for Derby, Johnson a battling warrior, Keogh and Pearce defending stoutly and Baird with a mature assured performance thoughout. Carson battling through injury shows the fighting spirit of this team. Yes, we didn't have too much possession and we had to defend for our lives at times but when we attacked we always looked dangerous. During the game it was really hard to predict the result (although strangely before it I did just that!) Looking forward to the replay and I hope we sell out our allocation and make as much noise as we did at West Brom. COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Great post @RadioactiveWaste you made me smile with the "Hughes showing off for the telly" .. Yes he was and wasn't it great to see a player with that confidence in his own ability. He can showboat like that all day long for me because when he has had his little game he still usually makes a pass to his own team. Once in my life I saw George Best as an aging tubby bloke in a testimonial.(Alex Stepney) Came on as a sub, beat a left back .. Then turned round beat him again in the opposite direction, then beat him again the third time and put the cross in. All for the pure joy of it and the entertainment of the crowd. Last night Hughsey with the ball at his feet was getting close to that. ... When he interacts with Ince who also has "the touch" you see what he could be.

Needs to let it go now, its history. Strange time after a great game with a great atmosphere, to play your " I told you so" card And where exactly did I type that I didn't think it's been better since Clough left and the fact I put I didn't think it was poor from us last night, quoting the opposite to Srg's comments etc. I don't need to let anything go and I don't want to play a 'I told you so" card as I enjoyed the game and thought we played well, but I don't think we"ll get promoted or win out with McClaren or Clough, just said that we would remain a top 10 championship side and Forest with Clough may catch us up. And are we any further forward, other than having Carson, Thorne? Anybody else since Clough's squad, you'd be desperate to keep? Probably further forward behind the scenes, off the pitch etc. Not strange, just some of you can't even read, never mind understand football!

rammieib Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 No way was it only 25,000. There were less than 3000 available during the day. East and south stands full. Yes north looked half full but only about 2500 wer available there. i assume West looked full but couldn't tell as sat in it. I wonder if we are pulling a fast one to keep some extra cash?

Ground was definitely less full than an average league game , it just sounded louder than usual. I had a ticket for the North Stand but couldn't go due to illness so watched on telly. Really good game too. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The last two home games I've missed and we've done well and there's been 9 goals in total and we've not lost. I'm back in the room for the next home game so expect a dour 0-0. Yes the Leicester game. Really good stuff and such a bizarre OG from Bent. My God just kick it man!! Superb header for the equaliser though to give him credit and Bryson's goal too. He took it into the box and I'm thinking "what you taking it in there for?! You're obviously going to get dispossessed in a minute!". Then he just kept on going and eases a shot away into the far corner! Excellent. Both goals we conceded I thought were poor and in that respect I was gutted to see Leicester equalise with minutes remaining but great credit to both sides who put out strong line ups. I cannot help but think the chance has passed though but IF we can somehow squeeze through the replay then without disrespecting a solid looking Millwall side, a semi final is ours surely? Anyway, just gutted to have missed the game in person but got to see it on telly so not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverurie Ram Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Anyone mention why De Sart didn't feature in this game, as according to quite a few on here, he played really well in the last round against WBA. Did his Leeds performance make McClaren opt for safety first and revert back to predictability? and how many Derby fans watching the last 10 minutes of the game honestly admitted to themselves, that we wouldn't be able to see a 2-1 result out? I did enjoy watching Wolves win at Liverpool on the Sunday, seeing how organised they were, and thought at the time, we would have let the scousers equalise and McClaren would have been all smarmy and smiley with Klopp on the touch line afterwards, before we let the game slip away in the replay.
