His bookings of Wood and Mattock were totally unjustified. He constantly fell for double salco dives any time a Rotherham player got anywhere near a Derby player - Waghorn in particular. We could well have had a penalty in the first half when Williams went down in the area and we only got a penalty awarded in the second half because the Lineman saw what was obvious to everyone else in the ground apart from the ref. Quote Nice to see a ref be strong in our favour for a change Quote thought it was 50/50 that [Mattock} might get a red Quote Vassell was also fortunate to not get a red when he charged in to the post Laurence tackle melee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Quote One of the most undeserved draws in footballing history! but we’ll take it! Quote Stunned that we escaped with a point, and a clean sheet. A good result despite a very poor first half performance. A lot better in the second half which was crucial. Quote Stunned that Derby can afford close to £7million for Martyn Waghorn, yet can't afford to pay for a dozen ball boys/girls. Helped add to the ponderous atmosphere of most of the game, and suited us well. Quote Extremely fortunate to come away from that with a point. We were crap. Evans was MoM for me. For the money Derby have spent and the furor at Lampard's appointment....they were not much better. Quote Great result, proper reaction and spirit second half after we really struggled to contain Derby’s attacks first half - they really are a proper midfield unit, we hardly had a second hence the early change and Dack being quiet. ... No surprise that Derby are topping possession tactics, they made us chase all night. Don’t think they’ll do much though because some of their final third stuff was woeful. Perhaps they’re missing Tom Lawrence! Quote Derby had chances but they have more quality but the last 20/25 mins they faded. ... Derby only 3 shots from 22 attempts is awful Quote Derby were poor too, they ran out of ideas and a better side would have scored a hatful tonight Quote I was certain we’d lose at half time so I’m seeing it as a good point against a decent side. Thought Derby passed it well and have a decent noisy home support. They will be up there at the end of the season. Quote It's a good job Derby didn't have a striker like Simon Garner! I thought their midfield was excellent but they lacked any real presence up front. That Mason Mount is a terrific player. Most Blackburn fans think they escaped a battering. Praising our midfield 3, closing down, our passing as a team, but didn’t think we were a threat up top. Mixed bag in terms of how good they think we are and how well we’ll do this season. Bit like this forum in that respect.

Day Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Feels like 2 games took place last night, where half of each sides fans watched one game, the other half another. I watched the one where Blackburn were lucky to get away with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all Nugent's running there's no real threat or presence. I was hoping to see Waghorn given a run in that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marriot should be our best striker based of his pace ,movement and last seasons form so I think we should start him in the next few games to give him a proper chance to prove his worth. If he turns out to be as successful as Blackman more due to a lack of game time with Waghorn not doing much to justify his price as well and with Malone on the bench who we paid 3 mill for our summer recruitment will have proved to be pitiful and a real concern.

It would also be nice to see the players we signed for big fees and probably big wages get given some starts or else we should have just stuck with the attackers we had like Martin and Nugent and bought in some quality in midfield I am not saying they aren't good palyers, I just think if they don't get many starts they won't get the confidence and sharpness they need to make an impact when they do get the odd game and they will end up not doing anywhere near enough to justify their transfer fee and wages like many of the other signings we have made in the last few years. I think the team is crying out for a box to box midfielder who can run pass and tackle like an upgraded version of Bryson but instead we choose to buy more attackers than we can even fit on the bench. You would think with Lampard being a midfielder he would realise the importance of the most important position on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The schedule is going to get a lot more hectic, we'll need those players we signed. It takes time to bed players in. Maybe you should have some faith in Lampard, I'm sure he signed Waghorn and Marriott for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, Mel shouldn’t bother with a manager and just put team selection out to a fan vote. Because clearly all that matters is which names appear and how they are ordered on a piece of paper, the rest of this management lark is simply irrelevant!

He might start to improve if he gets a run in the team and prove a great signing but on current evidence he doesn't seem worth the money we spent , I still don't understand the need for Nugent, Waghorn, Bennet, Jozefoon, Holmes ,Wilson , Lawrence and Marriot in the same squad 8 attackers for 3 spots in the 11 and 3 on the bench makes me think we would have done better to not bring in either Wilson or Waghorn and brought in a midfielder instead. We still have Anya as well who would do a job as an impact sub so that's 9 attackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nugent will probably only have this season with us at his age but I think Marriott will learn a lot from him. Waghorn is being introduced gradually - he had the start at Rotherham and didn't do enough for me (or Frank, obviously!) All this does is give him the message to go away and try harder in training. He'll get plenty of chances - long season with games coming thick and fast. If you recall, Vydra had a whole season not quite working out before his really good season last year. I actually quite like that Frank is judging players on their current form and fitness, without respect to their status or price tags! Try not to worry about that - it's not our money after all.

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 News from the inside before the game was that a lot of us were saying how well Blackburn had started and how difficult a game it might be. News from the outside after the game is that Tony Mowbray said he would have been embarrassed if they had won but he is delighted with a very hard earned draw against a very good side. Very encouraging and backs up what most of us saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t click and paste but notice the DET comment about him being impressed by the intensity of Derby’s play and picking out Bradley Johnson for his display in a defensive midfield role. Shock for some but an opposition manager recognition and quoted as saying “I think the lad Johnson controlled the game”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
