Now we have to somehow fight off Sheff Wed, Norwich, Fulham, Huddersfield, Barnsley etc for a play off spot. Cannot see this squad making it to be honest. Yeah let's not bother, seasons over.

Sparkle Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Well deeply saddened by not giving our best team our best shot at the FA cup What have we learnt? Mitchell- good cover Lowe - decent cover Camara - great sub, not so great at starting Anya - still busy but can we do something from it Vydra - still doesn't look likely Nugent - intelligent- can anyone read him? Blackman - firmly established behind Martin bent nugent Vydra Our reserves are better than festers in my opinion and I am serious. Oh and Butterfield he did ok but it just seems to me he could slide lots of balls through the back line to forwards looking for it but always chooses to stop and turn sideways slowly - I find him very frustrating as I think he can so much better but never does.

bigbadbob Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 At least they didn't get the usual 4 and it's another nail in their premier league coffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made some good challenges, and has a good eye for a pass. Useful player to have in the squad. Agreed. Good tho it was to see christie , Lowe and even Blackman coming back they really weren't fit for a 90 minute game leave alone 120 minutes. Good match practice tho and it seemed that Mac was just using it as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffle Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I think there's a lot of positives to take from tonight's game. I was impressed again by Mitchell who looks like a natural successor to Carson. Richard Keogh bleeds Black and White blood. Vyrda showed the level of footballing intelligence and work rate I've spoken about before, I think given more opportunites he'll prove to be a fantastic addition still. He's been written off by too many on here. Max Lowe and a few others in their first game back against a Champions League team showed they could compete. I wasn't impressed by Butterfield or Blackman, it's also a shame to lose during extra time, but I think this has given McClaren a good opportunity as to what he has in his sleeve.

They bring on £50mil vs our reserves what do you expect. Great effort by all of the players considering we have gone toe to toe with the Champions of England for 180mins only to get beat when our reserves were blowing. If the likes of Hughes, Bryson, Bent were all fit I expect we would be speaking about another result as that Leicester lot were very ordinary. Bring on Bristol City Spot on pal Old concentrate on the league cliche time but our largely second string with mix of others getting fit, we were no way second rate, they were. Nothing lost, nothing gained apart from a fixture less. Good effort considering the team. Bring on Brizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Good: De Sart, Anya, Johnson, Lowe (he is really good). The rest: Meh Not going to slate the much changed team who basically were knackered by extra time. Can't say they didn't try. Just knew when it went to 2 all in the first tie that was it, we did better than i expected by taking it to extra time. Not the end of the world, decent cup run vs 2 PL teams, well one PL team and Leicester. Derby fans clearly the louder on the night, even when Leicester were winning.

LesterRam Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 So Derby reserves lost against a Premier League side, not bad until they bought on £100m worth of talent, the returning injured players wilted badly which is only right, and we lacked most of our first team, Leicester have gone down already unfortunately.

LittleEatonRam Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I really don't think it's going to work out for Vydra here. To me it looks obvious. I think he (and possibly Nugent as well) will prove to be another poorly thought through buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I'd say whichever winger starts they have their work cut out playing on the same side as Christie. Not saying Christie is a poor player, he just doesn't link up well with team mates.

Duracell Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I think it's good to make conclusions about our season based on that game, picking a team we obviously won't pick again, against a team we literally can't face again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect one or two will blame him for getting cramp though. You can as they play 90 minutes in training. The diet, Physio and conditioning these days they should not cramp up.

Indeed, I think this is the long term plan. It's the way vydra played at Watford, 4231 with a hold up man- and I think that's what we'll try to do eventually as I think that formation is more suited to getting out of this league. Blackman proved he can't play upfront imo, still think there's a player but he needs to be on the right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
