Igorwasking Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Matt Clarke looks short of confidence - last seasons POTY has become a shadow of Keogh this season. Bird has had positivity coached out of him. He never turns on the ball. Drop Bird - replace with Knight. Play Holmes, Sibley and Jozwiak across the three. When (if?) Ibe and Waghorn are available - we might just start to turn the tide. Bielik was a monster today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Would love to go into the clear positives that were there on show tonight, but it's really been spoilt for me by the absolute overwhelming feeling that we are watched a team destined for relegation. To drop two points like that. At that stage. Against opposition of that quality. It's awful. When Cocu went we had to make the positive change, as our neighbours Forest did. And we didn't. We'll look back on these past four games as the crucial point in our season, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is that we haven't seen this kind of intelligent sub-making for years now. And unfortunately you won’t get any with Wayne ‘Britains Smartest Man’ Rooney in charge ....

Ramathorn Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 My issue with Wayne Rooney cutting his teeth here is that I don't think he feels particularly threatened by the prospect of relegation. We go down, he leaves (or is sacked) but probably prospers in the long run due to his reputation and doesn't spare a thought for us. I'm not sure this captain is going to go down with his ship.

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Numb with that. Impossible not win the last two with the most basic composure you find in the Sunday league. They had nothing up top. Totally pathetic For the first time in 38 years I'm done, bit like this lot. See if we can salvage some respect this season by getting a manager who shouldn't manage the dog and duck is all that's to be hoped for.

I agree you can't be "slightly pregnant", but I'd argue you can be "almost 60", "Just under the drink drive limit", live "just inside the English Border, or indeed be "marginally off side". From a footballing perspective, I'd describe us as "Ever so slightly crap"! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mckram Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 1 minute ago, Abu Dhabi Ram said: Even interim managers of past regimes get a reaction. There has been no reaction. There has to be major issues behind the scenes, because these players are more than good enough to make the play offs. I agree but usually the interim managers are number 2’s with 10+ years experience doing that. We have people like Rosenior who was a pundit until how long ago? Rooney with zero coaching. Given is about the most experienced there! None of them have ever coached a team in this position. Rooney doesn’t know a relegation battle, he’s never been in one. I just hope that McClaren is getting a lot more involved than his title suggests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBRammette Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 3 minutes ago, Cam the Ram said: Some positives to take from that but once again we showed the same weak mentality and crumbled under pressure. Bielik must start and the team must be built around him. If we're against a team who aren't likely to be as dangerous going forward we can sacrifice Bird to have a more attack minded player instead. Lawrence should be dropped. Jozwiak and Waghorn on either wing unless Ibe is fit enough to be involved. Stop subbing Byrne off to go more defensive. Get one of the midfielders off for Davies if it's really necessary to get an extra man in there for crosses, but please stop shuffling the back line late into games because it just leads to more confusion and problems. And last but not least, get a new manager in that has some experience and won't be 'cutting his teeth' at a club in a desperate position. Perhaps you could apply.

Andicis Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I didn't see the Wycombe game at the weekend. I thought tonight was ok. I thought Bielik was excellent, Kazim-Richards had a great game and really deserved his goal. I would have liked to see Jozwiak on for Lawrence much sooner. Byrne's cross was absolute perfection. The defending really is criminal though. We got away with it in the first half, and eventually we got punished. Matt Clarke is **not** a good defender. It's the first Derby game I've really enjoyed this season, so I'm happy enough with the improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyinLiverpool Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Just now, CBRammette said: It wasnt Davies though it was just messing with it with a couple of minutes to go with no apparent need. Indeed. We have a long history of this. I remember Billy Davies putting Michael Johnson on when we were leading 1-0 at Sunderland only for them to equalise in injury time.

jcidaho Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 The football Gods just want us down this season for whatever reason. So be it. Gutted for everyone, the fans, Mel, Cocu, Rooney, the team. It was a try-hard performance, albeit lack of confidence. We've got a killer naivety.
