lukedcfc Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Defence not good enough, our goals conceded was good before these two homes games, but we got lucky on many occasions. If it wasn't for Bent and Ince, we would be mid table, the squad is not good enough. The playoffs are not going to happen this season, we are not consistent enough, and mentally weak. No ones to blame, we just don't have players good enough to get us out of this league. We have spent unwisely, vydra not being in the squad the past two games proves this. Burton next and it's a must win game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't recall anyone pointing that out then. Of course they did. They said he was doing well when Pearson was **** with the same players. Didn't mean it was going to last or be consistent!

According to a quote I read in the Times " Derby are perennially efette " had to look up efette but it's a great description of what happens most seasons.

Mick Brolly Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 2-0 up thought we were Barcelona , crowd giving it the ole's and we weren't even playing that well , we stop concentrating and are made to pay , can't blame the ref even though he was **** , why are we relying on our centre back to make the forward runs , still 45 points up for grabs anything can happen just keep the faith COYR !

We are pretty much where we should be to be honest....I knew this would be the reaction when we got ahead of ourselves fortuitously... Earlier in the year,when we were at the be bottom of the table,I would have been reasonably content with 10th... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't mean it was going to last or be consistent! Er. You're losing me. I'll repeat. I said earlier that before Christmas I posted that I would hold fire on Mac (when we were doing well) and wait to see how he handles our performances should we go into a slump in the new year. What's wrong with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripperg-ram Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 It's just stunning how short some people's memories are. Before SM came we were dead set for relegation. Anyone dissapointed by tonight's result, is so based upon the expectations increased by Maclarens improvements. We're in a slump, sure; 7 goals shipped in 2 games at home is bad. But in the context of the season it was our first home defeat since September. As a fan surely we should just be hoping for 8th and anything better than that would be a bonus. this squad with the additions of Martin and Thorne and a full pre season in them should set the championship alight next season. And if it doesn't after that, then you can bitch to your hearts content, complain about players wages, commitment and all the rest of it. But right now it seems a bit subjective and bit premature.

If it were possible to lift the toxic atmosphere of expectation mixed with nervous apprehension then this idea would be time well spent in my view . Isn't that how will and Jeff were initially brought through? Would need a more supportive atmosphere tho I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 In response to my admittedly over the top hissy fit, the Mrs has just offered the opinion that I shouldn't make such a fuss as 'it's only a game'. I've just choked her to death with a dozen red roses. Valentines Day my arse........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuffLuff Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 3 minutes ago, G STAR RAM said: For 40 minutes I thought we were fantastic, they never had a kick, the movement up top was great and we looked like blowing them away. The first goal was shocking and they soon realised that bombarding us would pay dividends. Mac is normally good at reading games but tonight got it wrong. I look forward to the slating of Keogh, Pearce, Butterfield and De Sart. In reality Hughes was probably out worst player tonight. In the 40th minute, they started this slow passing and playing keep ball. 'Daydream passing' if you will, the crowd start yelling that stupid Ole to every pass and everyone is seemingly lapping it up. All of a sudden there's a big tackle from Cardiff, fed up of having the mick taken out of them, on Olsson and the tempo of the game all of a sudden changed. A few minutes later we are sucker punched and the game changed from that one point. It's because we took our foot off the gas/neck/whatever. Pure arrogance and no excuses for it. We look a great side with tempo and directness, but look like a kickabout team passing it around. There is no outlet to get the ball to, but also no one who is assured in what they are producing. I would have probably said the same before the 40th minute too. To he honest I could slate a lot of them if i really wanted to but I do agree with Hughes. Keogh is the only one who played with any sort of intensity out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which wAs more shocking the performance of Derbys defence or the ref I can't decide . I would say our defence as that's 7 goals we've conceded at home in 2 games an absolute shocker both times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I am choosing to forget large parts of this evenings entertainment i have decided to fixate on the following things 1) we scored from a corner .. Is this a first for Derby County this season ? 2) Darren Bent twisting like an acrobat to get that header in just the right place. Yesssssss ! 3) Speculating causally how many people might have placed a bet on no yellow cards in this game or indeed if it possible to do that sort of thing. 4) wishing Anya could be 4 inches taller As for misplaced passes, poor defending, getting muscled off the ball, Will not being match ready/fit ... Well I'll forget that and move on the Burton next week or in the words (more or less ) of the late great Dusty Springfield .. I closed my eyes and count to ten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
