angieram Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I don't think he was the best player on the pitch yesterday, but I do think Holmes had his best game for us for some time. Similarly with Davies, his sharpness in defensive situations is improving game on game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDerbySuperRams Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 You just can’t underestimate Chris Martin’s performance yesterday. He’s been impressive up until now but he was elite yesterday. Bullied a hardened Preston defence and was vital in getting Lawrence & co into the game. Not quite sure where he’s pulled this form from but he is going to be a serious asset this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having just seen the highlights, I was wrong... it was so much better than that! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Has anyone mentioned how poor in taste the Lawrence song was? Regardless of whether he’s been forgiven/the justice system has dealt with him/the away fans were mocking him it doesn’t excuse singing a song that celebrates what he did. There’ll be fans at our ground that have lost relatives in drink drive collisions. Why not use that creativity to come up with a song that doesn’t make us look like arsssholes?

You’re always at the most threat of losing the ball when you’re the one carrying it and making the difficult through passes etc. When a few of them come off like they did yesterday, and when he works as hard as he did yesterday, credit has to come where credits due.

I don’t think scapegoat is the correct term but he clearly can do a lot of highly effective and simple things much better which leads to disappointment in him and for me it’s get your head up and look for your teammates in the best position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he made up for them with some absolutely brilliant vision at times yesterday. Hopefully it gives him the confidence now, and he starts to get his form in general play back to what it was last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember the specific incident, or indeed the specific player, but as one of our players received the ball wide left in our own half, the guy sat 2 seats to my left yelled "Look Up, Look up. Pass the bloody thing!"... just as the guy in the row behind simultaneously shouted "Get your head down and run at 'em" or words to that effect! Fans eh? Who'd have 'em! ?

It was revelling in Lawrence’s drink driving. I agree that it’s a terrible song in bad taste, but it shouldn’t be blown out of proportion. There were probably about 50 people max singing it (from the video I saw) and I can’t really seeing it catching on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe their lumbering front man helped a bit, but he wasn’t shy about bringing the ball forward and was passing more quickly, I think maybe Fozzie gave him some confidence ? And let’s not forget he won the header that went in off Waggy’s Torso. I actually first thought Curtis had scored it in the goalmouth melee.

It’s been a bit of a baptism of fire for him and it’s taken some time to click but it looks like he’s starting to work out what is required in this division and the partnerships/blend he needs to get the team functioning in a rough and tumble league like this!

MaltRam Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Performance of the season so far. Best I've seen Max Lowe play. Chris Martin's one touch link up play was Mac I vintage awesome. Best thing about yesterday though was seeing Fozzy back and playing well. Loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A win would be great against Fulham but at this stage I’d just like to see this level of team play repeated, regardless of the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interchange between Lawrence-Martin-Holmes which resulted in Holmes's volleyed shot was sublime especially as it was at full pace; the little, single "keepy-uppy" by Martin which Holmes laced onto the bar was pure Brazilian blend.

WTF was Waggy trying to do with his shirt after the goal? Shades of Balotelli and "That bib incident"! ? It seemed to be something to do with him showing he was the Derby number 9 as he was attempting to drag the number around to the front, presumably in reference to Chris martins stake for the number /position of late. Bit weird tho,there seems to be room for both of them out there and i would surprised if waggers is that insecure about the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
