Shinnie cannot do that, and it would cripple playing through the middle. If you want Shinnie in the team I think I'd have him over Knight (who's not been great lately) playing a bit further up in a role where he can press around the pitch as you can't really do that as a sole dm as it leaves gaps but I honestly think we might be better off dropping him.

Yani P Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Rooney knows he has a fairly narrow band of best 11..has to rest a few sometime with constant midweek games..hopefully a fit and firing Lawrence will help going forward when he is ready to return to the squad..results went in our favour elsewhere so no damage done..

Van der MoodHoover Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 When I was younger (and we were still in the championship) I pitched up to Cardiff and saw us get mullered by 6. So a 4-0 ain't nothing...... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Byrne missing, Marshall missing, Baningime full debut, Wisdom out of position, Edmundson out of position, CKR missing, Mengi first professional 90mins. Not sure how you can say the reason we were bad is because Bird & Knight didn't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarodyDCFC Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Just me or has Buchanan been dreadful since Rooney said that stuff about him playing for England one day? Seems to have regressed as a footballer the last few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also pretty much the only midfielder we have fit that can miss players out with a pass, who actually offers the ball and doesn't just play the ball back the direction he got it.

May Contain Nuts Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 33 minutes ago, RamNut said: This made me wonder how much of the silly tinkering under cocu was also due to the influence of our championship specialist no2. Indeed. Also how long after he's gone do you continue to excuse our impotent attacking threat from central midfield and the wings by saying "Cocu coached the attacking play out of them", it's 3 and a half months later but without CKR we look just as unlikely to create something in open play as we did early on in the season. There's very little to suggest that Rooney & Rosenior's coaching methods are having a positive influence on any of our creative players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Ultimately, we are a poor football team that can sometimes grind out results without necessarily playing well. A team that has any ounce of ability aren’t the third lowest scoring side in the division with the vast majority of the season played. It just means when we don’t pack our defence and midfield then we’re likely to concede goals too. Let’s just be thankful that when the fake Sheikh completes his takeover and completely kills the club that we can start up Derby City Football Club away from any gypsy curses and hopefully run it correctly.

Seriously hope that isn't the management team believing a hype, almost a lack of respect to the competition of the Championship...it was that "off". I hate losing games like this, rather get trashed knowing we've given it a shot, tonight we've turned up to fulfil a fixture, nothing more. Not sure I understand the tinkering in defence, we were solid as a rock for weeks, I thought the problem was our lack of creativity and goals, not defence. I had the same thought mid match, that Rooney was beginning to believe the hype about his progress as manager. He has made good selections and substitutions but not this evening. Reminiscent of Lampard in this respect cos he did the same sort of thing with the same consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought Watson looked really good when he came on. Great movement, great energy, good passes, always looking forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
