Anag Ram Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Those blaming Davies for the goal need to look at Roberts’ feeble effort to block the first header. He really is dreadful in the air defensively for someone who supposedly has aspirations of being a centre back. derbydaz22 and RoyMac5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewton Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 It was an aerial assault like I haven't seen since we played Wycombe at their place in the Championship. Eventually, the strain started to show and we were fortunate perhaps that Burton put two good chances wide within a few minutes, but largely it was percentages stuff. Dobbin could have won us the game on his own, but never even tested the keeper. A second goal in the first half might have quelled Burton's fire before it even got ignited, but we were often sloppy in possession and wasteful in the final third. In the second half, we didn't really possess a threat until Mendez-Laing came on and too often lost out in 50/50 challenges. Overall, a draw was probably a fair result, but we need to see some improvement in that performance starting next week. I think criticisms of some of Warne's choices today are fair - his substitutions didn't make sense to me either. I thought Max Bird was our best outfield player, while Wildsmith again was a safe pair of hands.

I presume Sibs was injured because him going off made a big difference. It not only felt like 2 points dropped.

Under normal circumstances, I think both LR and PW would have signed different players. It doesn’t matter if we’ve played 2 games or 20 games. Both LR and PW have had to make do with what they could get/have got.

TomTom92 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) A very poor display today and Warne should take a lot of the blame because none of his changes worked for the better. However, if we end up stumbling, blind folded in to the top 6 come the end of the season then it’s a job well done. We’re nowhere near automatic promotion quality and unfortunately we’re 2/3 players short from having genuine options to steal us points. January could be a key month but Warne will have the same problems with the restrictions as LR did. Really we need the EFL to be charmed by Clowes and for them give us a bit of leeway. Knight’s a gonner I’m afraid to say and for a fraction of the cost that we should’ve got. Probably along with Stephen Pearce the last remnants of Mel’s era. No point us getting too down hearted though. Those who don’t like Warne’s football will be licking their lips at this result. But they need to suck it up and accept this is the way Clowes has chosen to take us. Unless the wheels fall off spectacularly Warne’s safe in his job.

YouRams Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I can't work out if we're missing something or the tactics are off, Warne needs a transfer window or two to get his own players in before we can make full judgement I think.
