v Ipswich Town (H) Match Thread

[Derbados]

Why is Ledley bombing forward and making runs into the box!?

surely just sit and screen the defence, have we learned nothing from the first few games?

[Topram]

Southstand is toxic, full of moaners whilst we are trying to go forward, go watch it on tele ffs! They act like they make good atmosphere 

[thederbyram]

Ledley's infuriating. Why is he already trying to bomb towards the box? Sit in, let Bryson do that!

[alexxxxx]

Like playing a 2 brick walls here.

[Mr. P]

Ipswich playing their usual frustrating game. Nothing happening yet.

I was too late saying the same

[SaintRam]

I understand it when Lawrence doesn't try to skill past defenders. But why cut inside when he has acres of space in front of him and the defender racing him? Bizarre.

[SaintRam]

Derby cut an opening out for Nugent, who bends his shot wide from the edge of the box.

Because he’s brainless.

It's something that happened vs Leeds and cost us, the player, or the coaches clearly haven't learnt from that because he's still bombing on. So far, as Ipswich have less quality than Leeds, it hasn't cost us but that doesn't mean it won't at some point.

I thought Evans was doing a good job of holding his position and giving us better shape. Surely Ledley is experienced enough to know that as a holding player, you can't go charging past the rest of your midfield every time?

That's the part I don't get. If it was a coaching decision, surely Evans would have been doing that? The sooner Huddlestone comes back the better. Enjoyed what Evans was doing and I pray to God the injury isn't as serious as it looked.

[Cam the Ram]

Keogh's drilled passes into feet still look like our best way of creating chances which is worrying. Bennett has had a good go down the right but not much has come off and Lawrence has just been really poor today and lost it nearly even time he's touched it

[wixman1884]

Lawrence is exceptional at slowing down counter attacks and giving the ball away unnecessarily. truly impressive 

[Comrade 86]

So ducking fed up. Please let us not have done deals for Tom and George1. Somewhere between pre-season and the season proper, Joe seems to have had some form of schizoid embolism.

I don't think it can be the coaches unless they've specifically told him to get forward by them. As a defensive midfield player, you shouldn't even need to be told that you should be holding your position.

This is boring.

Still prefer it to Rowettball.

[Mr. P]

Our passing in the final 3rd is frustrating. 

[Kernow]

For duck sake Keogh.

[SaintRam]

Keogh's slipped 3 times off the ball by my count. Inevitable he'd slip to give the ball away trying to do too much

[Posh Ram]

Keogh is awful.
