V Blackburn (A) Matchday Thread

[SaintRam]

Another Blackburn corner. Claimed by Hamer.

Our defenders are actually playing well. And our midfielders are playing quite well when Blackburn have the ball. 

But with the ball, our midfielders & Waghorn have all been universally awful; and our defenders have only been average.

And how's Dowell doing?

Just back heeled it to a Blackburn player ?

[Bob The Badger]

I'd like to see Dowell left back. 

And Waghorn right back. 

Left back in the dressing room and right back in the dressing room.

Cannot imagine the existential crisis Rooney is going through right now

What is this witchcraft?

[Millenniumram]

First bit of movement seen by the table footballers in Derby shirts results in a goal... which doesn’t count because, as usual, Waghorn is offside

[SaintRam]

Waghorn played in behind. But flagged offside. Nice finish though. 

You know Waghorn's offside because the defenders were yards behind him and there's no defenders that much slower than Waghorn. 

[Mr. P]

Hope this isn’t our good half! 

[Sheikh n Bake]

This is tragic. 

Our build up play is so slow. All we gain from it is more possession. But then a combination of either losing the ball through individuals not being competent of playing 5-10 yard passes or being absolutely clueless in the final third, we offer absolutely no threat.

I hope I'm wrong, but if Blackburn find a goal I don't see how we are going to get back into this game. It's pretty clear to me why we are so terrible away from home. We're just a sitting duck waiting for Blackburn to score and then maybe we'll react after that.

[lukedcfc]

One positive, the defence seem a lot more comfortable with Hamer in goal.

[May Contain Nuts]

Who passed it?

[CapeTownRams]

Somebody please wake me up when Blackburn score.....

 

 

Totally toothless.

Didn't see tbh - wasn't expecting positive Derby play. One of Bielik or Lawrence, I think.

 

Meanwhile, Blackburn work a good chance but Hamer saves well.

Bielik's not played well in possession today so far; but that particular competition is not close ? 

Correction he’s playing terribly in possession nearly gifted them a goal from yet another carefree pass

Holmes 

But he’s got no quality in the final third like 

[SaintRam]

Kieran Dowell gets the ball in space, an excellent opportunity to create something just before the half.

His pass isn't within 20 yards of a Derby player. 

[Bob The Badger]

There's o minutes of added time. There should have been but everybody agrees it best not to keep going longer than necessary.

[Andicis]

I'd like to see Knight on for Holmes/Dowell and then Martin on for Waghorn. 

[sunnyhill60]

What a terrible game

He's got tons of potential quality. But one good pass vs 10 shocking ones does not a good player make. He needs to massively improve the rate at which he finds Derby players with them.
