uttoxram75 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Brave attempt in the end with a decent spirit and a few good individual performances. Don't agree with so many changes personally as i would have preferred us to have played as strong a side as possible. If we go up i'll let Mac off!

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I wouldn't criticize any of them tonight. I was worried about Mitchell at the start but his confidence grew. Back four were good. Midfield kept the ball well and mid to long range passing was pretty good. A little lightweight up front as we have been quite a lot this season but overall not bad at all. For those who like stats they look pretty good. http://www.sportinglife.com/football/live/match-stats/369897/leicester-city-v-derby-county We lost to slightly the better side but only after their big guns came on.

Mafiabob Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Enjoyed the away day..... few and far between. Sat on train ready to go home. Derby fans were immense..... Confirmed that Leicester fans are the aids of football..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWC1983 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 The team that played did us proud tonight. Thought we looked comfortable most of the night and made Leicester look very very ordinary. My only niggle was that we got into so many good crossing opportunities but looked for heads instead of whipping it low into the six yard box. The big Leicester lumps headed them away all day. Lots of positives from a lot of the players, let's go on another winning run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Ram Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I thought the ressies did quite well. Anya looked a threat first half I thought Shackell was excellent, Butterfield did well but for me De Sart was our best player and must be pushing for a start on Saturday. Disappointed with Vydra, since he has played for the Rams, he certainly doesn't look like an 8 million pound player to me, much as I thought when we signed him...more of a 2 million pound player from what I have seen of him over the last couple of seasons. If you think Burnley spent about the same on Gray..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scapegoats will be scapegoats, but that was a better performance by vydra than Darren bent has been doing recently- Ive been watching the Rams since 2005 and I've seen countless worse performances than that, remember Conor sammon?

ram1964 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Didnt make the game tonight, but if i had the two hour drive home would have been tolerable considering our overall performance.Hopefully the next 3 results will put this one into prespective.Its not a tin pot cup but we have other priorities.

TimRam Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Anya did well. On the whole we did pass it around well at times. Need someone who can beat a man and get a shot on target though. Might have won with Ince and Bent on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Happy clapper assessment follows: Mitchell - slightly nervy & lucky with the handball. Made some smart saves nonetheless & the experience won't be lost on him Christie - back from injury he ran his socks off - crossing appears to have improved but must leave space for his winger to play Keogh - always got mistake in him - ship him out, sharpish Shackell - critical tackles and generally did pretty well Lowe - future star - tad rusty after a long absence but talent is clearly there De Sart - growing in stature 7 impressed more as game went on - useful understudy to a fit Thorne if we can keep him Butterfield - quiet game, never really hurt Leicester Camara - positive and ran hard - slice of luck for the goal but clearly wants to play and will improve further with game time Anya - little star - ran his FB silly until fatigue set in - had we a lumpy striker his crosses might have yielded a goal or two Johnson - blood and thunder performance without really dominating - good shift nonetheless Blackman - starved of service and quiet as a result - perhaps playing ahead of Hughes would help but will that happen with a surplus of strikers at the club Subs: Vydra, Russell and Nugent all added to the performance - Vydra needs to play off a striker, maybe that could be Nugent unti Martin returns. Nugent cameo too short but looked tidy. Russell workingnhis way back to form at a time where his input could prove critical to a successful Championship campaign. So, not the result we might have wanted but probably the result most of us expected. B- can do better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malagaram Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Did say on this forum 18 months ago when Birmingham sold Demarai Gray to Leicester that we should have made a bid,if we ever get to the promised land our Chairman is going to have to spend big to compete,Leicester were bringing subs on in the game,15 million,25 million,what chance have little old Derby got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 With so many players who don't regularly play in the team it was a fair enough performance. Bit disjointed and some runs missed / combos not working. We don't have great fitness in my view throughout the squad and haven't probably since cloughie. Just one of those things. No players fault. Although obviously keogh was completely at fault for the second by atempting a block and going off his feet. He should have copied shackells "down on one knee turned to the side" pose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ram Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Just got back. first game i've managed to go to in nearly 2 years so i may be a little rusty on the observations but here are a few things i took from the game: Mitchell didn't do too wrong much wrong, might have saved the first goal if he stayed on his line, not much he could do about the others, had good hands when crosses came in and grew into the game well, distributed some balls very well in the second half. Thought Keogh played very well, defended excellently, covered shackell a few times when Leicester got in behind and passed the ball very well, maybe should've stopped the 3rd goal but grey had an absolute stormer of a game. Thought De Sart was excellent, won plenty of balls and distributed well, broke up several leicester attacks with his strength, my rams man of the match and he has to start, he plays the thorne role very well. Camara looked very liveley when leicester scored and we really started attacking, caused havoc down the right side, something russell didnt do when he came on, often stood still and not even trying a run when we were countering. Nugent looked good, worked hard and linked up play a bit, definitely helped when he came on as nick blackamn was garbage, made no runs, build up or hold up play. it was like were were playing with 10 men.
