Srg Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Few thoughts from that first half: - Soft free kick goal and Derby County are an iconic duo - Sheff Utd very well drilled, as you’d expect - We haven’t looked too bad considering - Still desperately lacking any creative force - Shinnie a little redundant in this formation given his skill set. Don’t need him when you have Bird and three centre backs. - Those naff pink shirts are hard to distinguish in the bright sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4ev6is Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I dont think Derby played to badly at all but one thing I would say we need get selby ball more and Holmes perhaps having swab supporting Marriott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I dunno. Lots more positives for me than negatives. Some individual errors of course but some bright moments and with a little more composure we might be level. Buchanan has dwelt on the ball a couple of times but looks a decent recruit to the squad. has wheels, can beat a man and is a bit of a target man too. Jack has absolutely worked his socks off and looks so much more like the player we saw under Lampard. Bird picking some lovely passes and Shinnie popping up everywhere. I'm pretty happy with that bar the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Not a bad half, let down by a poor defensive structure on a corner. I don't know who cleared it Dutch Mike/Forsyth, but I can't for the life of me understand why we aren't picking up players on the edge of the box. Big Sam kept Bolton in the Premier League off goals like that early in his career. Clearances from corners are always going to be difficult, not many clear the box with any conviction, so it pays to watch the players on the edge of the box. I think it's a really poor goal to concede from a coaching point of view more than anything. I guess they would've highlighted that being the case. Other than that, I think it's been ok. I don't think Bogle or Buchanan are at all comfortable with playing wing back. You really have to force the issue and play higher up the pitch. It looks more like a back 5 at the moment. Forsyth is playing with fire with his passing, but it's no secret. We knew that was going to be the case. I personally really like Evans at CB. I really think he has the intangibles to grow into that position and get to that next level. He's still got a lot to learn, but he looks very comfortable in that role. Marriott is playing well, working extremely hard, but lacks assistance. Sibley isn't getting involved as much. Holmes is almost doing too much. It looks a little disjointed in that respect. All in all, this looks to be a team that is learning. I don't think we have a lot of depth in attacking areas and we don't have much money to sort it out. It's going to cause frustrations for sure this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossieram Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Buchanan looks to be more of a threat on the left than Bogle is on the right. I'd like to see Bogle take on his man more rather than turn and play it back as soon as a player looks like he going to go to him, that lads got the talent to do it.

Been shouting the odds about him for a while now as I'm convinced that there's a decent player there if he gets games and a little more confidence.He's been very good today.

We lack height, pace and width but are very good on the ball, no change there then. Not played much preseason, him, Holmes and probably a few others need to get minutes in today.
