RoyMac5 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Impressed with Elsnick, looked very calm in possession and read the game well. Thought the first half team were playing in porridge. Much better pace and fluidity in the second half. When I saw that tall centre half come on I said I bet Chrissy wardrobes him, and he did, but ignored by the ref, lol. Lovely goal by Mason, well taken. Mason had another good game and was probably MoM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably start a team like this against Sunderland Carson Wisdom Keogh Davies Forsyth Huddlestone Johnson New signing Nugent Weimann Martin I'm not a fan of Olsson but he's played better than Forsyth so far in pre season.Forsyth will need time to get back to his best. His passing looks crisp but to me, he looks a bit hesitant to use his athleticism. Honestly, Olsson doesn't fill me with confidence and playing first team will only make Fozzy get better and better. Like the look of that team though ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre season means nothing in terms of performance it's all about getting fit mason could have 5 man of the matches and he will be lucky to make the bench at Sunderland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, about pre season last year, we opened the season with Blackman and bent up front this year I expect Martin and Nugent to start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 That second half was more like it. Much more intent and better quick passing throughout. Baird, Elsnik, Martin and Bennett were key in that. Bennett, Elsnik and Johnson for getting a foot on the ball and breaking up Macclesfield's play. Hanson played better in the second half too with the calm Baird on his right. Weimann is a willing runner but doesn't always make best use of the space he gets. Anya some good dribbles and both he and Bennett getting in behind the defence much more easily than the first half. I'm sure Macclesfield's constant stream of substitutions helped too. What a prat that player was that took on Bradley! Was he sent off or did he just throw in towel (and his shirt?) Cracking shot from Bradley to make up for his poor free kick but was more pleased that Bennett scored. A well-deserved goal to top off his MOTM performance on his 21st birthday! Magic! He came over to hug his family at the end of the game and he was literally dripping wet with the effort he had put in. That's how I want all my Derby players to finish the game. Leaving it all out there on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got it absolutely spot on, with Bent up front we just completely lost that link between the forward line and the rest of the midfield. Glad he's back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ossieram Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Another good workout and hopefully all players finished injury free. I'm not going to be overly critical but would just say that I think Nugent and the attacking midfielders would be happier playing with Martin in the side rather than Bent and that Bennet could be a big player this season if he carries on working hard.

RamLad1884 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Genuinely think Bennett has a decent shout of starting the first game of the season, his effort is clear but he seems to have some end product too now. Same with Weimann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Again, only caught the 2nd half, but: Was impressed by Mason Bennett, that was a good goal to boot. Jamie Hanson impressed me too, looked assured at the back and passed it about nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
