Gerry Daly Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 2 minutes ago, Millenniumram said: Well, after a surprisingly attacking half of football the other day, normal service has resumed. Another ridiculously defensive set up from Rooney, with runners instead of footballers in the middle of midfield - and surprise surprise, we look to have no quality whatsoever. Sitting way too deep, and not pressing them at all. We basically look like we can’t be arsed, no energy whatsoever and we’re just allowing them to play the game how they want to. Don’t know about Stoke being on their holidays already, it’s us that look like we’re thinking about the beach - disgusting lack of effort and desire really considering our precarious League position, especially with results going against us. And don’t even get me started on our passing. Christ almighty, that sort of quality doesn’t even belong on the local park. I started counting how many times we gifted possession back to them, more entertaining than watching the actual game. Just hoof after hoof. Dreadful. Agreed. The problem for me is we have 5 defenders - the wing backs are full backs - and then Shinnie and Knight in front of them who are bread and butter grafters. So inevitably we look sterile. We need to find a better system. We could improve by replacing one or both of the full backs with more creative players maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibley needs to be picking the ball up, facing goal, just inside the opposition half and running at them. Fat chance he has of doing that when he's spending most of his time trying to win headers or getting the ball with his back to goal and a defender up his backside. Yep basically sibleys job at the moment is to close down, watch the ball go over his head and chase the aimless balls into the channels. Hopefully he changes it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I mowed the south lawns and just came in to catch up on our progress, seems I haven’t missed much. You’d think they try and entice prospective season ticket buyers with football to whet their appetites wouldn’t you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I admire CKRs battling spirit in 'playing through the pain', but he really is more of a hinderance than a help today... he isn't playing like his usual self at all. We'd be better giving Cresswell a go from the off in the second half IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LincsRam Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Punting the ball into the channels is brainless unless its played at pace behind the defence with the attackers to run onto it, floaty balls level with the attackers is so easy for the Stoke defenders.

kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Resorted to listening to this one on radio Derby. And I'm glad I did as it's marginally edged out the other form of entertainment I considered which was spending the afternoon staring at a disused bus shelter.

Steve How Hard? Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Interesting to find out CKR has a strap on. Not sure how that's relevant to the match though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 If Rooney comes out after this and tries to tell us its the attacking players fault for not doing enough I'll be bloody annoyed. They aren't magicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LincsRam Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Stoke have started on top again this half, we need to get CKR off for either Cresswell or god forbid Lawrence and go to a flat back 4 as Shinnie/Knight are over run in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
