Derby blood Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Good game, played well, did everything but score, proud of the team tonight, will have some big players back after the international break, so with 9 games left we have everything to play for, it's going to be close and exciting, and I believe we will just about make it in the play offs, time to recharge the batteries and come out all guns ablazing.

Don’t think there’s any need for scapegoats after that performance. Yep, we did everything but win. Effort was there, we took the game to them and were easily the best team, cut them open at will, how ponderously slow were Stoke?! Post Rowett hangover for sure. A win was a killer pass away or a little bit better finishing we would have had 3 well deserved points; a goal was all that was missing from a decent performance.

Topram Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 So just got home. Really unlucky not to get the 3 points, personally think it was one of our best performances all season as a team, some really good individual performances from Lawrence, Malone, Holmes and Bogle who looks back too his best, no matter where we finish It would be nice for us to preform like that for the remaining games just score 2 or 3!! Can’t really fault anything though! Nice to see the young lads getting a run out sure Mel will be happy to see his big investment in the youth squad finally be used! Roos 8 didn’t have much to do, comands his box well Bogle 9 brilliant kept McLean in his pocket very strong going forward Keogh 8 solid as always Tomori 8 makes little mistakes but his pace always helps him make up for it, got a massive future Malone 8 big fan, gets forward well wins headers settled in well Johnson 7 battled well did the ugly stuff always seemed to be their Huddlestone 7 calm composed doesn’t give the ball away as much playing further forward! Worked well Holmes 9 brilliant little player, snip at his price so calm on the ball always sticks to his feet. Wilson 7 works hard just needs a goal to get him going again Lawrence 9 worked his socks of battled for everything even with him not being 100% fit, runs with the ball something we need! Waghorn 7 battled but hard up against 2 cavemen! Ratings like we won but unfortunately we didn’t but plenty to build on! COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Deserved 3 points tonight. Ashley Williams forearm smash was a red card all day, what did the ref book him for? "Right Ashley, the Derby player was running past you onto a through ball that would have taken him into the penalty box until you raised your arm into his face to block his run, I have no choice but to issue a yellow card even though you made far better contact than the Brummie chav did on Grealish" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogle decent, as was Lawrence. Don't get the Marriott for Waghorn change, obvious we needed an extra man up there. Stoke are crap. That’s the problem tho isn’t it? By the same rationale we could have gone away 0-1 from one of their few chances. We need to put these poo teams away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ossieram Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Thought we played well last night and were unlucky to come away with only 1 point. Butland made 3 very good saves to keep them in the game and if it hadn't been for the dirty shithouse tactics from the likes of Shawcross and Williams when he came on and Joe Allen who loves a sly foul and then slips quickly into the background before the ref notices him, the scoreline could have been completelet different. A massive shout out to Keogh last night. He was obviously in a lot of pain from his hand injury, but refused to have any treatment until the ball was in an area where there was no danger and then he came back on and finished the game even though we could see he struggling with the pain towards the end. Bogle, Tomori and Malone were all very good again and probably would have had an even easier night if they just cut out some of the silly mistakes at the back. The Ref also deserves a mention just because he did finally cotton on to the fact that everytime a Stoke player hit the deck, it didn't automatically mean he had been fouled (took him about 50 minutes though) although he should have been a lot stronger with Williams and Shawcross. Lawrence will be a great addition to the run in if he can continue like last night and only some last ditch tackling and blocking of his shots stopped him from capping the night off with a goal or two. What a difference in performance from the Millwall game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulcanRam Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Made me laugh that their manager went over to the Stoke fans after the game celebrating like they'd won promotion, while his players spent 90 minutes clearly not giving a poo. At least Millwall had a game plan and Sheff Weds / Wigan gave it a go. Stoke were just, sort of, on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VulcanRam Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 9 hours ago, RadioactiveWaste said: Yes, we can look back and think 5 points perhaps we hoped and needed more, but, the win over Wigan felt like a corner turned and we've played much better against wendies and stoke with a break to get some of the returning players back fitter. We've come out of the slump with 9 to play, in the top 6 with mount back after the break, hopefully Marriott fitter, Lawrence fitter, huddz gets to have a snooze in his cryogenic regeneration chamber and it's all to look forward to over the next two months. We might fall short, but it's been an OK season, seems Lampard can manage (there was always the risk that he might just have not be able to) we've played some exciting young players, Bogle and Holmes as well as Bird and Mitchell-Lawson if we exclude the loans. And next season most of the clement era signings will have gone. 2 weeks ago it all felt gloomy, now it feels less gloomy and we're also unbeaten in three after losing three on the bounce, creating chances even if we've mislaid the shooting boots. happy fappy clappy for the international break. This is all true but we could conceivably be 9th going into the break as Villa, Preston and Forest all have winnable games on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get Waghorn or/and Marriott more involved in games but hoping the return of Mount will be the catalyst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Looked like they stil had that Rowett stank on them... side to side a bit in their own half before hoofing it round the corner to try and turn us round. Can see why they draw a lot, they have a lot of quality individuals and are too good to lose but aren’t remotely expansive or inventive enough to go and win games. Thought we played ok, particularly second half. Bogle and Tomori were very good again, just like on Saturday. Special mention to Mitchell-Lawson who didn’t look out of place in his cameo and looked confident - fair play Lampard not copping out and putting on Nugent. Shame we couldn’t have won, but from where we were pre Wigan, I’ll take the decent performance and at least put it down to we put the effort in and just couldn’t manage it in the end.
