LazloW Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Thought Holmes played well tonight actually. In other news, listening to Ramage on the way home is making my ears bleed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first half was abject dog?and they obviously recognised that it was not acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKWORTHRAM Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Until we start playing Marriott and Martin up front together, Lawrence in the 10 and a regular back 4 in the same formation week in week out, we will go nowhere. All this changing every single week will not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't expect him to do all the work himself and also expect the quality from his final ball. Bielik would have made a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilsonram12 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Much better 2nd half but only just! Too many lazy and poor passes tonight, Holmes and Lawrence worst offenders and the forsyth mistake was like the forest goal, boot the thing upfield!!

Davies - Doesn’t suit his style Forsyth - Left back playing centre half no creativity in midfield strikers with no service due to lack of creativity. we are easy to play against when we have no creativity as we can just be pressed high. martin won the long balls tonight and when we got people playing off him, it paid dividends. so many brainless fans that support this club, expect instant success like it is our god given right. Get behind your team and not boo every player everytime a pass is misplaced. Probably the ones who leave after 80 mins Absolutely right. Three loanees who dragged us to the play offs have gone to smash it in the Premier League. Keogh....well you know. Midfield: Bielik, Shinnie, Huddlestome all injured. That said, I thought Knight played well but I agree with @SaintRam, with a booking already he was getting near the line. I think the thing is we all want Derby to do well. We do not like what we're seeing - made even harder by watching the videos of TBE's team flying high. This team is poor and it's hard being patient for it to be built up again but I'm afraid that's what we have to do ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes had the best passing accuracy of the front 4, made the most successful dribbles and made the most successful tackles in the whole team tonight. Second best Derby player on the pitch after Martin. Don’t get why he’s become a scapegoat. You want a poor midfield performance, look at the other two. Non existent.

IslandExile Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 On Holmes....I think he flatters to deceive. Every time he gets the ball and runs with it, I am on the edge of my seat but I cannot remember anything ever coming from it - in any game.

Probably the ones who leave after 80 mins If your a paying fan like most on this forum you are then the right to an opinion. Another dire performance with no formation and some players looked like they had no clue were they were supposed to be playing,that lands at the feet of the manager surely His team selection tonight stank of desperation and a get out excuse if we had lost the game,then when it looked like the game was about gone we just stuck on two forwards with little instruction,luckily we did get a point from a very soft penalty which saves Cocu some explaining to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans was one of our better (not totally awful) players in the atrocious first half and then the game completely passed him by in the 2nd. I hope Bieliks not out for long; thats all we bloody need.

chewbacca Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 A soft penalty award has made the result look acceptable, but the performance is clearly not. In the build up to the game so much was said about Jim Smith, and how much his players wanted to represent Jim, the club and each other with good football and effort and respect for the club, that performance tonight was the complete polar opposite in every way. The players and coaching staff need a long hard look at themselves, disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans' role was to sit and break up attacks but he's not that mobile and certainly not as good as Bielik in taking it forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Bielik is back on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything has broken down when he gets involved. Wrong IMO, Lawrence had a dreadful game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
