Sparkle Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Allsop - showed that he is an experienced keeper - he did well Byrne - did ok Stearman - deserved some game time and did well Davies - excellent apart from his one blooper Forsyth - Great to see a home goal from Forsyth - he is our out ball isn’t he Shinnie - he’s just a very good pest Bird - looked settled Morrison- surprised he stayed on so long as he looks shattered by 65 mins in most games knight - worked very hard closing down the Reading players Lawrence - I thought he had a very good game Baldock - not sure if he came of injured sub - Stretton - I do like him Reading - lots of decent attacking players but you could tell they were missing their more confident defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to see the assessors report .. It won’t be good. That's where I come down on. It was honestly surreal at times watching him; 2 similar challenges a couple minutes apart and one wouldnt be a foul and one would get a yellow. Inconsistent is what I'd say if I was feeling cool headed and generous. Incompetent feels more accurate though. Personally I'd like to have a had a neutral opinion on him because it felt like we certainly an unfair amount go against us but I don't know how much of that is my own bias.

Stretching every nerve and sinew Mentioned it in the other thread but Stearman's performance can largely described as "just enough". Couple really nervy moments and yet always seemed to do just about enough to snuff out what they were doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I had to go out so missed the second half. We're showing all the right kinds of battling qualities needed to stay up. Clean sheets go a long way, and right now we don't look like conceding many goals at all. Turn PP into a fortress and we'll have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheresOnlyWanChope Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Great performance today, Forsyth won lots of headers and deserved a goal. To overcome his injuries and play like that... fantastic. Shinnie great as well. The whole team looked more like a Derby side from a few years ago. Incisive passing, fluid, solid midfield and threat down each wing. Looked completely different to last season. Fans were great. Some dodgy decisions against us. Looked a penalty to me! Should have been out of sight but 1-0 home win will always be welcome ! First home match in 18months. Loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the major reason why I'm more supportive and willing to cut Rooney more slack when things don't go our way. We are going out to try to win games by trying to play a good passing game and impose that on the opposition as opposed to react to what they are doing. Does it always work ? No but the intent is correct and I think we are on the whole improving in terms of performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times do you see the ref make a player leave the pitch from the nearest touchline? Every sub I see is from the dugout side, accompanied by adulation from the crowd (or wild abuse).

Sufferingfool Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 This team is playing better than the sum of its parts, that is credit to the players and importantly the manager. Every player out there is working hard for the club and has/does face criticism at times on this board; not good enough, too old, lazy, past it, not quick enough, too slow etc and fair enough, opinion is what this board is all about but at the moment we are a team, players management and supporters together and long may it continue. Very Proud to support this team and manager! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve How Hard? Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Great win that could and probably should have been more comfortable. Hard to pick an actual m.o.m as every player put in a shift tonight. If I was pushed to pick then Stearman would just shade it due to coming in out of the cold and producing a pretty flawless display apart from his yellow card. Tonight and moving forward isn't about picking out individuals though. It's a collective effort that is gonna see us through this turbulent period. UTR.

He's been in the way of our intended passes a dozen times or so, meaning we've not been able to play the ball we wanted. And now a blatant handball penalty not given for us. Astonishing! I am furious. Absolutely stone waller not given to us. What is wrong with these officials? Twice under Lawrence’s feet on the edge of the box, interfered with a late break. 10 pretty innocuous fouls by each side and somehow that becomes 4 yellows to Derby 0 yellows to Reading And the penno ? And what happened whenRavell was crunched in the D ? .. I was too far away .. but nothing ! Furious .. sometimes moaning about refs is about hard cheese, luck of the bounce 50/50 and fan bias but this guy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn PP into a fortress and we'll have a chance. In our circumstances pre-season I wouldn't have given Curtis a contract as I didn't feel we could risk him after the injury. But he is proving himself a star defender. Makes me wonder what might have been had we built the defence around him a few years ago. I think that was his 100th start for us tonight. According to the stats guys I've spoken with, a clean sheet averages out as worth 2.5 points. I just wish we had a bit more threat up top, but Rooney is doing well with the terrible hand he's been dealt. With such a solid defence we are always in the game and we can finally hold onto a lead. My hope is we can now accrue enough points to stay positive when the EFL hit us again. The target for this team is to show they'd have made the playoffs if it weren't for the ongoing issues. Which would be miraculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m one who has to say that he has surprised me , I just couldn’t see him getting us playing the way he has this season , all credit to Rooney he is doing a very good job and we look very decent , full of pressing and energy , passing and moving well and well organised , if we had a touch more up top we would be very dangerous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
