Rowett said after the game he wanted Olsson to get forward and that's what he's good at. Bit like Christie really. Least he got cover tonight Forysth got 0% help last game. Yes that's a fair point but thought he was defensively sound too last night. The only player to cause us any trouble was Mcquire? when he came on.

MuespachRam Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 My assessment.... the negatives.. if Davies plays like that for the rest of the season then we are in trouble, he was terrible against a VERY average striker. JR's first half was as bad as anything I have seen for years, head down and run to the corner, just look up....! Huddlestone did one really bad pass or made a really bad decision for every good pass he did if Martin had missed the chances that Nugent and Vydra missed he would have been totally slated Bryson....his legs have gone, if you didn't know you would have thought he had played the full 90 minutes when he came on....any pace he had had gone the atmosphere was rubbish the positives both full backs were great, Wisdom is a class above anything at the club and Olsson did great bombing forward, the combination of one staying and one going worked well when we got to the play offs and looked great last night Weimann ran around a lot and looked energetic and positive nugent, vydra and Johnson all linked up well, nice to see Nugent keep going after missing that chance too. We won we signed a pacey direct winger....because we are missing one so badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 2 hours ago, LazloW said: The criticism of Martin for not winning all the long balls punted to him at the end is a bit unfair. Everybody knows that isn't a strength of his game. Can't see the point of bringing him on if that is going to be a tactic. Also, there was never a player within a mile of him to pick up any second balls or support him if he had got hold of it. I too was not as enamoured of the performance as many seem to be. Much better than Saturday, but still a long way to go. Martin would much prefer to drop off, and join in the play with the ball on the deck. And thats what i'd prefer to watch too.

Rowett said himself that it's what you do with the ball. Tonight we looked much better making decisions etc. Amount of times we've had 65%+ possession and ended up losing / doing f*** all with it. Yes but......rowett is obsessed with what he calls 'transitions'. I.e. What happens when a team gains possession, either by pressing high or more usually when the opposition attack breaks down. hhhhooooooofffff. long balls. Less accurate. More difficult to control. More scrapping around for second balls. Lower league rubbish. i'd rather have possesion and good players who can actually do something with it.

RamNut Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 One further thought on the 4231 preston only had two central midfielders - browne and johnson. (we allowed johnson to have the ball. Sat back and "kept our shape") there was an oportunity to go 442 and actually get vydra up front. in the slightly more withdrawn role, he was the one playing the final pass instead of being on the receiving end of the final ball.

Topram Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 so after sleeping on it, big big win, sold performance could have been more, after Saturday think everyone was down, but with a win a clean sheet and Lawrence signing it's what we needed, Can't wait for Bolton now, think we are a better side with Nugent in it, Lawrence Weimann Vydra Nugent is one bloody scary attack! We can steam roll teams! A special mention again for Weimann one of the best preformances I've seen from anyone at Derby by a mile! Tackled ran all game was great as was Olson and many others! Same team for Bolton? Personally I'd put Lawrence in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'd take exception at your comments about Weimann. I think he did a bit more than just run around a lot, look energetic and positive.

HAZ Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Thought we were decent last night. So much more dangerous and effective in a 4-2-3-1. Huddlestone and Johnson playing it in to Vydra gave us the attacking impetus we lacked on Saturday. Hope GR gives Vydra and Weimann a run of games now in that formation. Lawrence to replace Russell for me 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I can't believe how much better I feel about our prospects after last night. we are all saying, 3 points, played better, all good etc but I honestly enjoyed last nights game for slightly different reasons. 1) the number of one touch passes in a forward direction. 2) the number of times two or more players combined playing 1-2's and ran on for each other, over lapping - in essence team play and communication 3) the level of energy and eagerness all over the pitch 4) the solidity of the defence. A beaten player went on and made the tackle and the level awareness/organisation when corners were coming in. We looked like a unit .... But for a few odd bounces, fluffed shots, refs decisions, a save or two blah blah ...That game could have been 4-1 and we would have been purring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashz09 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Thought the Atmosphere was better due to showing a bit more Energy and fight. Confused when the started singing "Is this a Library" when we was singing for a good 10 Minutes previous to them singing that. We got nervous and quiet at times which is expected with the results lately. Good job in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Did anyone see Alex Neil's interview? It was bizarre. He was genuinely annoyed and moaning about the fact the penalty was given more by the linesman than the referee, not the fact it was a penalty, because it was. It was like the ramblings of an insane man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The logo was indeed there, but again not from the SkySports. The actual quality of the video shown was so low, I should really claim damages from the SkySports for distributing such a poor quality of programme. They are breaching my consumer rights.

Gary Teale Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Weimann seems to have become a god for running around a lot. I thought he should have scored when there keeper lost it and he missed the wide open goal, i do accept it was from 30 odd yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Can't believe it's taken him this long to set us up in 4231 when it was clear last season our best performances were when we set up like that with Vydra in the 10 role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
