I thought Watford would always win this game as they have quality Premier League players. Let’s see if MM can hold his nerve Yep, just about sums up how poor Cocu is. On the whole we've improved our squad from last season and even some of those in favour of Cocu have low expectations of how far he can take us this season.

ollycutts1982 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I remember when Clough was here going through the motions because that’s all we had gotten use to and then he was replaced by Mac, how nice it was to see positive attacking football. Sat at home I can telegraph where the next ball is going. I find myself saying ‘don’t go backwards, don’t you dare go backwards’ followed by inevitable backwards pass. At 0-1 we were tip tapping it round our back 3. I just belted our ‘they’ll let you do that all night’. This really isn’t good for my stress levels.

twinthe_12 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 This was the most ugly and boring gameplay Derby has produced in years. Evans and Clarke losing the ball and couldn't pass the ball. At a homegame only playing Rooney up front is just not enough. We should dictate the game instead In midfield Bird did nothing apart from playing the ball back - no creativity at all. But I think it's all down to Cuco's way of playing - it's so dull. This game only opened up the last 10 minutes and still we couldn't create anything that could give us a chance of goal. I'm about to lose my patience - and if it's the same next time I wont even looking at future games before Cocu has left Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I said before the Norwich game that with that formation /team only the result mattered. Obviously we won and it was hailed as a tactical masterclass. Same today, but this time we are out-Derby'ed. Everyone saying we were unlucky. Afraid that's the risk you take when you set up so negatively. Full backs looked good, as did Clarke. Keeper is an upgrade. Knight worked tirelessly and Bird and Shinnie were workmanlike. Rooney looked a bit sharper but should have scored. Holmes decision making was poor. Lawrence looked to offer a spark. Boring match tbh.. Not sure if we were solid and encouraging or just dull.

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Periods of fast smart tidy football. Obviously not enough up front but what do you expect with Kamil, Waghorn, Lawrence, Ibe, Beilik all missing. Thought we looked quite solid in defence although George needs to sharpen up a bit and as usual Curtis needs to mind his passing. Thats all. No drama.

Anag Ram Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Fair play to Rooney. I have been very critical of him so it’s only fair that I should single him out for praise tonight. He used his strength well and was tidy on the ball. He also produced our only two moments of quality and was a foot away from scoring on both occasions.

Haven’t they sold most of the. Whilst the other half weren’t playing? Ultimately it doesn’t really matter who we play - we simply dont look like scoring.

Wish Sky would climb out of Watford’s collective arse though. Jesus Christ, you’d have thought we were playing Pep era Barca the way they were brown-nosing them... They do that for whoever Derby are playing. Since Lampard scuttled off to his daddy, and even though we are now WAyne rooney county, Sky don't like us and never have.
