Mafiabob Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Massive two games - can’t comprehend how much of a battle we are in currently. 10 points from 9 games since Cocu went. That return is not going to be good enough to keep us up. Goals needed more than ever. Do we have the bottle to step up and change this? Sadly I fear the worst the longer the “takeover” goes on. It needs sorting either way it goes. Thanks, a fearful and sad Derby fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 A team that doesn't score vs. a Karanka team. Sky have really picked one here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they don’t have to worry about it being safe for fans around the ground tonight. As long as the bin dippers have got working undersoil heating it should be ok. Yes, usually games called off with weather like this due to health and safety of the fans rather than the state of the pitch ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellafella Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 On 27/12/2020 at 18:57, Carl Sagan said: I expect we'll have insufficient energy after playing with 10 men from the 20th minute and failing to make any subs (until one in the 85th minute). Because of that a lacklustre performance likely beckons here. I really hope I'm wrong but this Covid season more than any other is about managing energy levels across the fixtures. You can't expect the same 11 players to perform with really high intensity for 98 minutes every 3 days. It's not physically possible. If they somehow manage it here, they won't the game after. Alternatively, Rooney's poor choices against Preston may now force him to disrupt the team with a lot of changes. I would rather we played a settled 11 starters with 5 finishers to come on in a planned manner through the match. Very wise words @Carl Sagan {no wonder the DET is quoting you ?}. We depart though on the emboldened bit . . . I think we need fresh legs from the start. Bird in for Shinnie? Sibley for the Red Card Merchant, Ibe for Kazim? Go for a 2-0 lead then shore it up. Wazza really needs a win. A draw would be a good result given the context ...but we need a win and goals. Tough call for Wazza but I've got faith in him to get it right. He can use the anger from the injustice of Boxing Day to get the Team right up for this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisley is starting, Ibe not in the squad as he overslept and missed training so been left out! Kaide Gordon is on the bench Thank god you’re here! With the demise of so many ITKs on the takeover thread I was close to going out and finding old trampie for the inside track on all stuff DCFC. As he’s entirely fictitious though there’s no way I was going out in this snow for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than good enough form especially with at least 3 teams in this league that just don’t have our quality. Mindset and mentality is right and that will see us survive no problem.

I hope you take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror ??? Has the time arrived to delineate the levels of flouncing. It has been all too vague for me. I think five levels would be ideal. I certainly would not want to flounce at less than level 4. I have standards and they need to be clarified. Flounce Levels (1-5) Low to High Level 1 - Shows little flamboyance Level 2 - Shows potential without stirring the emotions, could go either way with time and practice Level 3 - Intermediate level - lacks a memorable parting shot Level 4 - Very good but lacks a certain 'Je ne c'est quoi' Level 5 Thespian, nay Shakespearian - proper job. If you dispute the Level awarded you should be able to go to arbitration. COYR we need a win today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been so stirred by the poor performances of the team and have been working hard to come up with sensible suggestions. There is such a range of opinions on here, someone may be in complete accord, others holding pretty much opposite views. The balance between humour and appearing to not be taken seriously is fine. I like your posts and you have some great insights but getting everyone on here to agree is incredibly unlikely. Keep posting mate, we need your input in this Covid world. We are all fans and just want to see some good football and us shooting up the table soon. COYR Mafiabob.. . what a guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that’s enough social media for me until later. Fair enough. I could easily look at our situation pessimistically but I’d be permanently unhappy and it would probably affect my family and in particular my football hating wife so tend to err on the side of the positive when there are several legitimate reasons not to.

Most of the time completely horizontal to Bielik. The big improvement to our game came when he stopped playing horizontally to Bielik. He was in the first couple of games under Rooney but he’s now playing further forward in the same role as Knight, come the summer thats a position I’d like us to improve.
