rammieib Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I’ve seen two comments on this thread suggest what they had seen was ‘good’. Heaven forbid what bad looks like. This is atrocious. Two shots both of which went 30 yards wide. Local park football defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 No real surprises given the poor side we've had to put out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDerbySuperRams Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I will hold judgement on te Werik until we have played 10 games (especially after slating Tomori after his debut), but he has been horrific. Not that he’s the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Well that was thoroughly awful. Don’t think any of us expected anything else though with the options we had available, this current side is relegation scrap quality. Very disappointed with the goals we’ve conceded though, very basic errors. The fullback selection that I mentioned before the game has been proved the wrong call, slow fullbacks against Readings pacey wingers is a recipe for disaster. They just look quicker all over the pitch, first to every ball, whilst we’ve been very lax and appear half asleep. Fitness doesn’t look up to the right levels either which I feared after a poor pre season. We’ve got a long season ahead if we don’t get some players in, we really have.

The Reading player was running horizontally into Derby traffic. Sibley clattered him unnecessarily through petulance. Don't put that on Whittaker.

DanS1992 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Just now, Coconut said: Pressed pretty well in midfield but haven't been able to do anything with the ball when we've won it back. All 50/50 decisions being given in their favour by the ref João has killed us, if we'd won the ball and been able to give it to a player like him this would have played out quite differently. Even if we had a player like Joao, our slow pedestrian football with no urgency would make him ineffective. We play in front of the back four, sideways and slow. Reading a least tried to inject some urgency and movement. We have done neither. This may not be popular, but Cocu's style of play does not work in this division. Leeds went up with high tempo. Brentford nearly made it with high tempo football. We nearly did under Mac 1. Wolves did (albeit with way superior players than we have). I buy into bringing the academy lads through, what I don't buy into is Cocu's style of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossieram Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 That 1st half was garbage to put it mildly. No service to Marriott or Sibley at all and they are just running through our midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimsbyRam Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 3 minutes ago, Andicis said: Our players and our manager have approached this game like cowards. Just pass the ball sideways and backwards, never take a risk and go forward. Don't press, just let them pass it between their back four. It's ducking boring. Reading haven't looked good, we've just been gash. Play with some ducking tempo, go press the ball, show some desire to get the ball forward, take risks in possession, and stop being pussies. How can this style of play work unless we have Messi who can do it all alone? Even with better attackers, it wouldn't fix this lack of desire to go forward. Agree this is so slowly and they are picking us off easily as we cant stretch them Knight and Whittaker sadly are stretching their full backs like theirs are ours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcfcollie Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Very poor again today - unless we make some serious additions next couple of weeks think we should be very worried about getting drawn into the relegation battle. But at least it can only get better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I nearly went 0-2 to them in my prediction but I suspect it might be more like 3 or 4 nil in the end. Zero end product and miserably slow in all aspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Sadly the youngsters are not playing to a high enough standard. Can't keep the ball which is why we have no attacking threat. No creativity going forward. Same old same old.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're so predictable. We must be so easy to defend against, sit your back 4 in a line and watch Derby pass it around in front of you for the game.

Guest Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 How is Whittaker even considered over Hector-Ingram? The lad is so weak, needs loaning out. Bird looks the part but is in no way captain material. All horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for two, Whittaker has been our best attacking player and has been hindered by everyone else offering nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
