Loach seemed capable but the goal should have been cleared at front post, not sure he could have got to it as bodies in front, think the delay and absence of 1 of their players affected the concentration. Deserved equaliser though. Cashin not comfortable on the right, but not helped with poor display by Barkhauzen, not just defensively but giving ball away cheaply, not only guilty 1 though. Wondered how it would have worked with Stearman on right and Cashin on left with Fozzie in middle as more natural position for Stearman and Cashin, looked imbalanced as it was. Roberts very hit and miss going forwards, some good balls, especially for the goal, but at least 2 crosses straight out of play, no excuse when not under pressure on a good pitch, although 1 miss-hit one needed touching onto post in nd half. Was very disappointed with Thompson, arguably the worst player on the pitch, but didn't realise he's not played for a month, off the pace and too easily brushed aside, not the terrier like displays we got used to from last season. Midfield bypassed a lot, hence Sibley didn't get involved much as the ball didn't stick with Cybulski or Dobbin either to allow him to play off them. Dobbin looked too casual right up until he scored, which was excellent and hope he gains confidence going forward. Cybulski should have done better with header 1st half and sitter in 2nd, not been convinced by him in the brief amount I've seen him play but won't right him off yet, especially as good sharp effort that hit the post, hoping just needs the confidence a goal will give him, but does need to hold ball up better and press with more energy. Knight and NML showed some good touches and quality 2nd half, no way was it a booking for NML, pos not enough for a penalty either as not really in control as he entered the area. Def offside late on as ball going out for goalkick if it wasn't played as came back on the pitch. Generally showed PW he has a lot to do and we are lacking depth, although if Smith, Osula, Rooney and McGoldrick were fit then it looks better straight away. Credit to Mansfield, can see why they don't lose many at home, fit, strong, big, move the ball quickly with purpose and can tell they are a settled team.... The young Forest loanee looks a prospect. Felt sorry for the lads who tried to Stoke up the atmosphere a bit. Especially after the train was cancelled. I was hard to get exited as you can’t get much lower down the football pyramid. Warne’s interview on the way home lifted spirits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldben Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I wasn't impressed by the game. I feel a positive result could have been achieved if 7 changes hadn't been made to the starting 11, effectively fielding a weaker team. I get that warne, wanted to give a game to players who weren't getting much game time. That's back fired. I think there's a reason that lr didn't give those players a lot of game time. I think lr would have fielded a strong and not a weaker team. It feels like the fans have been let down on this. That this wasn't the time to field the weaker team. Det: "Reflecting on the shootout defeat, Warne said: "I think our strength in depth isn't amazing. We have to look after the first 11 quite obviously and we've got another game on Saturday. "There are a lot of lads here who need game time. I thought the senior pros committed themselves really well and the young pros are playing against an experienced League Two team. "It is what it is. It's men. There were times when we were a little bit outmanned and a little bit open. We had a 20-minute spell in the second half when they smoked us." We know we don't have a strong enough team in terms of depth, strong available substitutions. The heart of the team was previously ripped out, as so many players left. Had we played a full strength team, derby win that game. I get that we need to give players a rest, but so many changes to the first team before kick off. I'm also guessing that it doesn't matter, if we lose the game, as we should be focusing on league position. Our best striker Collins, didn't even make the team.

RoyMac5 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) After due consideration I think that we didn't do too badly given the strength both numerically and literally of the team last night. In the first half Birdy looked excellent and the ball through to Dobbin was what the forwards have been crying out for for ages, unfortunately Dobbin missed. He was a bit of a curates egg, offside a couple of time and trying to be too clever but a good finish for his goal. Thought Sibley didn't get a lot of joy from being with Barks who was limited in his endeavours on the right. Cash looked good again. Bart had a better second half, much more involved, missed a glorious headed chance and hit the post. Roberts looked a decent player, not sure where his best position will be though, he put in some great balls and hit the bar with one - a long range shot? Thomson needs to be back in the U21s. Fozzy needs to retire! Robinson and Oduroh both had good second half cameos. Edited October 5, 2022 by RoyMac5 Andrew3000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the flip-side, if we all subscribe to your own hypothesis, how the hell can the rest of us believe anything only you have seen with your own eyes? ? And you wouldn't be much use if you were asked to undertake jury service ? Sorry, forgot this was the internet and there’s no room for interpretation or inferring from context. I should have written: When it comes to football, I don’t believe it unless I’ve seen it with my own eyes. Better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtains Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 So Derby achieved the point they needed and gave players game time . Get a draw against Man City U21s next week at PP and we are through to next stages of EFL Trophy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Clough Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Regarding the 'lack of depth'. We still have to remember we have a few players out injured/ill. Just for a moment, let's pretend the 11 vs Cambridge was our first 11. Wildsmith Chester Davies Cashin Mendez-Laing Knight Bird Hourihane Barkhuizen Dobbin Collins The next 11 with everyone fit would be something like: AnangRooney Stearman Forsyth Oduroh Sibley Smith Tommo RobertsOsula McGoldrick Five of those players (bold) were unavailable last night. Between them, they would have added: a) fresh legs after a tiring game at the weekend b) experience to a youthful midfield and forward line c) greater ability upfront Carnero, RoyMac5, angieram and 4 others 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewton Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Very honest but also considerate response by Warne I thought, making the very valid point that many of the players used last night were either inexperienced at first XI level, short of match time, or both.

Crewton Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I've watched the highlights now and, while I can't comment on his overall performance, I think some of the more scathing views of Cybulski's finishing are a bit harsh. Of the three goal attempts shown, the first (header) he should certainly have done better with; the second (where he hit the post) was great turn and shot, and the third, where he was faced with the keeper coming out and a defender back on the line, he put to the correct side of the keeper and on target - it was just a decent bit of keeping imo. I think there's something to work with there. Carnero, RoyMac5, angieram and 4 others 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 11 hours ago, Kokosnuss said: I would argue though that he had about the same number of chances to put in a decent cross as Mendez-Laing, and at least he put one excellent one in (which would have been an easy chance for a senior CF) as opposed to none from NML or Barkhuizen (who never really got the chance to do so, but honestly I doubt would have done) We don't really have anyone I'm comfortbale with putting at wing back for the rest of the season. He was given far more space than the two right wing backs as Mansfield quite rightly prioritised. NMLs crosses weren't good but he was underr much more pressure.

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Oh dear, more lambs I'd say with that line up I suspect that silence was because most people at this stage had hotfooted to the last train home, before the locals filled their larders for the winter with any stragglers getting stranded.

Collectively, maybe, but most of those players could do a job surrounded by the better players in our first team lineup. Good example is Stearman, did okay when he had to cover for Davies, because he'd got good players around him. What we couldn't cope with is several injuries all at once.
