There’s enough quality on the pitch there to be playing a lot, lot better than this. Poor tactics and use of the talent we have out there, completely one dimensional.

Old Spalding Ram Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 This pushing Forsyth forward at every opportunity and dropping Shinne in to play behind him is an interesting tactic. ...........interesting as in who in their right mind would think this would increase our attacking potential!

DCFC Kicks Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I don't understand what Morrison is doing in this game. He's supposed to be playing behind the striker but he's never there and CKR is isolated. He keeps drifting back to get on the ball but has no one to pass to. I'd take Bird off for Sibley or Jozwiak and move Morrison back alongside Shinnie. Ramarena 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) Getting nothing from our left side going forward, Shinnie been really poor again. Bird not playing the ball through the lines enough. Morrison & Lawrence are way too far away from CKR to impact us going forward Edited August 14, 2021 by DCFC1388 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
California Ram. Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 While i’m more concerned about our ‘give Festy a run’ attack - would be good if either Byrne or Festy picked up their number 3, who’s getting lots of space. and can everyone stop posting about how useless Marriott is, you know the consequences kevinhectoring, Ellafella, David Graham Brown and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silko Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 We still look far better than we did for almost all of last season …. Same problem though nothing up front at all Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbados Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I don’t actually think we’re playing that bad, we look relatively solid and comfortable on the ball with a couple of moments of madness but it’s Derby, to be expected. My only gripe is Bird yet again, he has to stop hiding (yet again!) and show for the ball, Morrison and Lawrence are having to drop deep because Bird is terrified of being passed to.

ollycutts1982 Posted August 14, 2021 Author Share Posted August 14, 2021 We must release the ball quicker. Just before half time Bird was bringing the ball out and dithered and dithered and then got tackled. I’m not a fan of Bird at all but today at least he is trying to play forward but I’d put Morrison there to try and get us ticking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IslandExile Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Woeful. I never learn. I was realistic but as the season starts, I get ridiculously optimistic. I start thinking maybe we're not so bad, maybe we'll do better than I expected. Some hope. We are really poor. Where's those who criticised Cocu's team for passing it around at the back? Why is Lawrence playing so deep? Getting the ball from the central defenders, then giving it back to them. So Rooney's tactics are to push the full backs forward. Did anyone tell Forsyth? In fact, is Fozzy even on the pitch. Shinnie and Bird, short passes going nowhere. Why two players of that type? Pleased to see Ebosele but he's naive giving away free kicks when attacking. I despair. This hurts. Ramarena, Ellafella, kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Individually I don’t think we’re too bad. Tactically it’s just so naive though! strawhillram, DCFC1388 and Deej 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your saying the job Bird should be doing - building play- he is totally incapable of doing and others are covering for him. Rammy03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully anticipated we would struggle at times in this game and expect plenty of this over the season. Certainly could do better with set pieces though. It won't be great but I think we will survive this season. We're currently playing a newly promoted side who have conceded 7 goals in two games, have scored none and we look absolutely awful. poo football. Even with what we've got we can do better than this.

Ellafella Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Shape and system not right. Need to see a change unless we’re playing for a 0-0. I really expect better from a Derby County team. This is dull, tedious and uninspiring. There are 2000 fans who’ve travelled and deserve more. Deej, DavesaRam, strawhillram and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I also don't think Byrne and Ebosele are cancelling each other out, I think our offence is just so lopsided it's easy to play against. There's no threat down the middle or the left. If we can show some danger down some alternative channels we'll stretch their defence. Don't know which of Lawrence or Morrison is supposed to be on the left but whichever one is supposed to be there, they're absent. Use the whole width of the pitch otherwise the overload is crowded out on the right. With some effective changes I think Festy and Nathan could have a strong second half kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong, DCFC1388 and Ellafella 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlsonDerby Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 This system is crushingly bad. I understand the idea behind pulling a CM into the left back spot to allow the left side forward to come inside and Forsyth/Buchanan to provide an outlet out wide but I just don’t understand doing it both sides. It creates congestion on the sides and loads of space in the middle that we have no one in. That’s the reason the ball is doing the old horse shoe around the back of our team today because there’s nothing in the middle.

Get him off. it’s the same every season and people just don’t want to accept it. He has done nothing at the club and continues to be pointless. The most frustrating thing is he could easily score a 30 yarder at any moment out of nowhere. David Graham Brown and Chris_Martin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
