It's mathematically possible in the same way Man United can win the PL. And if the team were bottlers why would you expect them to win? Can't have it both ways I don't think many people realistically expected it to be fair. And those who did were dreamers. Doesn't hurt to be a dreamer when you're a fan. (It's just not nice getting the rude awakening, hence the reactions.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember travelling all the way to Southampton and we lost 4-0! Charlie George was playing for Southampton which made it worse.

Can someone explain how that works? Do you still think Will Hughes is the answer. Seems to me he is giving up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because most of us knew play offs was unrealistic but the dream was there. However ANY team aiming for promotion can NOT be turned over 4-0. Will we lost throughout the season? Of course. We cannot be dicked 4-0 though by anyone never mind this being the third time we've lost by at least 3 goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel a bit sorry for Baird and Olsson as they are under pressure all the time. Now Baird has been booked he can't do a lot to stop the crosses. Yes, defensive mistakes for goal but they have been under the cosh for most of the first half. Ball hasn't got to our forwards very often but when it has they haven't been able to keep hold of it. Interesting to see what Rowett will do to change this around for us - will hopefully see what he's made of now. Hughes is coming on. PS Our fans are woeful - so much for terracing! Was going to write a full time match report but I think that this will do instead - just rinse and repeat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope is fine, if people are mature enough to manage their expectations and deal with disappointment like adults. I've just about had my fill with spoiled reactionary "fans" who greet every defeat as if the sky has just fallen on their heads and start demanding that every player is sold. I'm honestly at the point where I wouldn't mind a few seasons of mid table mediocrity just to get these people to **** off and leave us in peace and quiet until the next time it looks like we might get promoted.

When we win we all think we're the best team in the world and all our problems have gone and we are the next Leicester City. When we lose erm.... find me a rope.. Exactly. What is wrong with these people. This is what I'm saying about McClaren and Rowett. The very people spunking over Rowett and moaning at those that aren't will be the first to bitch about him and moan that others aren't. Do people not know the sensible middle anymore. I mean the praise being heaped on the team for a poor 45 vs Forest, a hit and miss game v Fulham, a poor game v Brum and a win over QPR was remarkable. Now look! ffs Derby are a midtable side getting... yep, midtable results. They were the same under McClaren. It's just like stepping into the mind of a 2 year old.

jono Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 59 minutes ago, EnigmaRam said: Well rowett made the same mistake playing the wrong formation and players in the wrong positions. Winning and getting used to 4231 nudge and Vydra doing well then changes it and been no threat since. maybe the players think oh dear here we go again with the 433 that hasn't worked for most of the season I wasn't there and am a half fan but on the basis of radio Derby commentary this sounded very like the Brum game. I am curious as to why, when 433 lacked an edge, we did the same again today ? My guess is that Gary had an idea that 433 with the extra midfielder might be his preferred away set up. On this evidence it doesn't work ! Which brings me back to what we have been missing and that is a commanding midfielder, or alternatively a set up that puts the opposition on the back foot. 4/2/3/1 433 with the current players isn't effective. Might be different with George or CM ( conducting and holding respectively ) but the 4/2/3/1 with this group has looked much more fluid both at the end of Mac2 and the beginning of Gary. That however doesn't excuse the way heads dropped and fight seemed to be missing in certain quarters. Anyway .. Not worried one little bit .. This is experimentation and learning .. It's a harsh, early pre season assessment of what we can do to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
