Should have had a definate penalty in my opinion, you cant have your arms out like that and block a shot surely without it being a penalty. It would have been harsh, he turned his back on it..... seen them given, but I don’t think it was for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect this is why they don't stay away Unfortunately there are all sorts of people , we moved to change our out look from the northern end of the east stand to the southern end, now sit next to a bloke who bellows abuse at the Ref, Ball boy/girl and the South stand for not singing loud enough and getting cheap seats , but he makes me laugh so I am happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 I was bored, but the weird thing is we did have chances, so why was I bored? Maybe it’s the terrible finishing by Weimann? The final ball? The long pass that gets cut out by a defender? I don’t know, I shouldn’t be bored really, but I feel I am. Could it just be the time of the year? Short daylight hours? Maybe all these chances will get converted one game and we’ll give a team a good towelling. Ive never had the thought of not bothering to go to a mid week game before because of the weather, ever. I’ve had that thought this season, maybe I’ve just got old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we are playing unattractive football? We played a bit more yesterday, but having 2 wingers who never look up whilst on the ball doesn't bode well for flowing football.

I'm not sure though how much of that was down to having Thorne in for Huddlestone and how much was Martin for Nugent. Probably a combination of both. We were only denied really by some top class blocks of the ball when we would've been in and poor finishing. Thought Lawrence played well enough. He looked so much better when running at them. Even though he scored I don't think Russell has earned a start against Barnsley. For all the grief some people are giving Burton they could've snatched a point with better finishing. They probably would've won if Weimann hadn't headed the ball off the line. Personally I thought they were far more adventureress than some other teams we've faced at Pride Park this season. If they had better finishing and we did likewise, our winning margin would have been 3 or 4 not just the solitary goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not denying that, just saying that they weren't completely unambitious like some people on here are suggesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 I’ve noticed I don’t kind of half jump up if we get a chance anymore either, it’s like I’ve resigned myself to substandard finishing. I’m only commenting on home games, as we seem to do better away, which raises expectancy why we return to PP. Ipswich being the casing point. I really didn’t want to go to QPR but made myself and glad I did (after 44mins) I was looking forward to Ipswich, but wish I’d stopped at home. But, we’re in the play off position, that’s good isn’t it? I can’t explain it, but I know I’m not alone in this feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PodgeyRam Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Also, knowing this Derby squad so well, Clough put a man on Keogh at all times meaning our play from the back had to come from Davies. That's probably why our play from the back looked a little bit laboured at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a situation in the second half when it took ages to get the ball after it went out of play at the North end - no ball boys there yet there were 2 sat together near the half way line.

RamNut Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I did predict that the GR style of football wouldn't sit well with Derby fans even if it is successful. We like a certain type of player and we like to see a bit of flair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We like a certain type of player and we like to see a bit of flair. I'm quite happy with most of the players we have and the style of football we are playing. I thought we were unlucky yesterday and played some good attacking football. Thorne was a massive positive for me and was always looking to get us on the front foot and Martins link up play is something we need. Give him and Vydra a few more games together so they can get to know each others style and I think it will pay off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
