SKRam Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Just turned phone on at work and twitter feed from DCFC came through so that blows my ‘no knowledge’ suspense for later. But hell I can live with that now. Hehe, not going to do any research on forum about how well we did or didn’t do and if we deserved it or not, can read that tomorrow. Wow, looking forward to watching later tonight with some ales of course. Oh Derby County how can I not love you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramcoteRam84 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Well Cocu I think surprised everyone today with that line up and the tactics we used, can’t remember us playing out from the back often. Smash and grab it most definitely wasn’t. A classic away performance. A pragmatic tactical masterclass. It was even refreshing to see us clipping balls into the channels. It was exactly what we needed after last week, pick his most experienced team who is going to fight and scrap, get back to basics and build a solid base. Then we can try to work on the attacking stuff from there when players get fit. This isn’t going to be the blueprint for success this season and I see us returning to Cocu’s style playing out from the back but we have shown another side today, a grittier side and that is encouraging. It re-affirms my view that when everyone is fit we have a decent squad and we could do ok this season. Well done Cocu and Well played Derby!!

Rampage Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I have learnt once again that the best team selection is the one that just happens to work. I was mystified by the back three but was certain that Curtis would play a blinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Credit where it is due. He’s still a **** though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bad Bob Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Even before this game, I feel with the squad we have (especially after the new additions) and a bit of confidence we are going to give someone a good dicking. Get the right forward(s) in and one or two more performances to get some confidence, someone is going to get a right good hiding (I hope) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ^ cocu started the same way last season if u remember going with dowell and Huddlestone for The opening half dozen games ... we got out worked in those too little disappointed he’s effectively made the same judgement and u could say same mid judgement but at least like last year it seems he’s remembered In the championship u have to match the opposition work rate otherwise you’ll get nothing no matter how many times u knock it side ways and back loved today ... the two boys in the middle of the park put a real shift in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 2 hours ago, Abu Dhabi Ram said: I thought Lee Buchanan was excellent today, dominated aerially against whoever and always provided an outlet down the left. He made one mistake, but the look of relief on his face when Marshall saved it said it all. Very promising. Yes, I forgot to mention him. Solid performance and defensively as good as either Bogle or Lowe. Morgan Whittaker too. For a young lad with a bit more physique to come showed signs of becoming a serious threat. Great progress from both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few people referring to the performance as "poohousery" etc. I must confess that I listened to the game rather than watched it, but to me it sounded like a textbook away display. I can't recall Norwich having a hatful of chances besides the penalty and the two saves from Marshall. I can understand people who say we were fortunate to get all 3pts but I think we need to separate the result from the performance (yes, I think it's possible to do that even when we win!) Today was about reacting to Saturday's debacle with character and organisation, not scintillating football. All that was required was that we turn up, put in a performance that would get us a point, and leave with something to build on. Job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
