Jortat Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Loads of flaky results today. 2 week break . Let's hope we get 1 or 2 more in and ditch/loan a few out. This season will be all over the place with at least 15 teams in with a shot of the playoffs and we will/be 1 of them. Its gonna take a lot of patience . Easy to say but very hard to stomach. Patience is a virtue. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have such a mismatched squad with too many 'niche' players it's a mess. You drop Johnson for Bryson and you lose strength. You play Johnson instead of Bryson you lose energy. CM with energy and strength needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team with over paid and over rated players v a team that works hard and is probably under rated. I expected us to get beat as we will against hull and any other decent side.

He's not been here long at all, and hardly been thrown in at good moments has he? Get a grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andicis Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Surely if we play Huddlestone in midfield we have to play him with someone more mobile than Johnson? We all know Huddlestone isn't mobile, but he needs someone to cover him for that, Bryson is the man to do that as he has the legs to run for two I'd say. Personally, I'd start Bryson next game.

Johnson was better then Hudds today by a mile. So Johnson and Bryson in midfield? Same two that got dragged off after 30 mins last season playing together! Bad day at the office now let's move on. Hudds and Johnson have been really good the last couple of games in the 2 in front of the defence. weve been shocking playing 433 also. All a bit head scratchy really as to why we turn up one game and not the next. Been like that for three years and no matter what players are on the pitch, what system we play and what manager we have its been no different.

It was his third game for Derby. Two of which came late on as a sub. He's human. He has to learn our system, and to play with his team mates. How on earth can you pin any of this blame on him, rather than our established squad? It's bizarre. He didn't pay his fee, so the money factor is irrelevant.

Alph Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 The Good On the counter Huddlestone's passing was ridiculous. Vydra and Weimann drove forward ok. Olsson too. Final ball was always done with eyes closed though The Bad We surrendered the whole pitch to defend our box. And we didn't defend it well. Never got go grips with Sheff United's system. They too were wasteful with more regular promising positions. At one point a simple pull back of 10 yards would have lead to a tap in. He chose to cross to the back post. Why? No idea. But they got in behind us constantly. Fair enough when we're chasing the game but it happened when we set up camp on our goal and refused any challenge unless it had Last Ditch!! written all over it. The Ugly Russell's og. If you kick the ball really hard the way you're facing and you're facing the goal from 15 yards then there's no real surprise if it end in a goal is there? Not a terrible performance but one of the least composed efforts you'll see. Panic at every opportunity. Often panic for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not there today so can't comment on his overal performance, even so I have never nor would I ever boo a DCFC player. The fans who regularly do boo our players should have a word with themselves. It's so demoralising for not only the individual, the team but also the rest of us as supporters. Look at the effect booing had on Bradley Johnson last year and Chris Martin the year before, at no time is this acceptable. Rant over!! Piss poor result today but still no need to Boo ? He was no worse than anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't have to, but would look better with Bryson covering him. Some players look better with some styles, Huddlestone has never been known for running yet is one of the best passers in this league. Would Bryson have looked as good in 13/14 without Martin to ''cover'' him as such, with setting him up with chances? I'd argue not. Some players just compliment each other. Maybe Rowett doesn't favour Johnson, and knew that when he signed Huddlestone? Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
