People will accept a defeat if the level of performance in good enough. It isn't, and hasn't been often enough this season. Hence, why people are fed up with what we're being given. So a comment about the toxic atmosphere gets a toxic comment from a usual suspect. Seems the haters are taking over here. Cheerio. It’s really not worth the bother if you are just going to get shouted down. So much for discussion.

Archied Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 2 hours ago, G STAR RAM said: Few random thoughts from yesterday now the dust has settled. Wildsmith back to his best and but for his efforts it was a much worse defeat. Full backs both did ok defensively but offered little threat going forward. Nelson was ok. Cashin poor in my opinion. Got dumped on his arse a couple of times. Passing woeful. Looking like we've missed a trick with not taking £4m from Brighton. Midfield, other than Bird, who is the only player that looks capable of doing anything creative or exciting, were pretty poor. Sibley, as usual when starting, was largely anonymous. Barkhuizen probably our biggest attacking threat. Collins always seems to be everywhere other than where he should be. Think the longest he spent in shot was when he was arguing with the ref about a foul on Wildsmith in our area. Think that pretty much sums things up about him. Out of the subs, Hourihane was probably the best but only really based on effort rather than any telling contribution...other than his goal! Warne has got to have the balls to front up to the fans after that performance. Throwing the lambs to the slaughter will inevitably not end well for him. Looked to me like Shrewsbury had moved the touchline in 5 yards, knowing that would ruin Warne's one and only plan. Referee had a stinker, with some really bizarre decisions. However, until retrospective action is taken against cheats, like their forward, they will continue to have an impossibly hard job. Seen this idea that shrews made the pitch narrow in size for yesterday’s game posted a few times , pretty sure clubs have to give dimensions ( within limits ) at the start of a season and then stick with them all season 🤷🏻♂️ Tomchope and jono 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can change the dimensions any time within the max and min limits. They usually keep them the same as they match up the training pitches and training drills to suit. Seem to remember Jim Smith moving the side lines in and out a few times depending on who we were playing. But some places are tight so never move, the BBG and Highbury spring to mind as they were the smallest pitches in the league back then.

Rule 13.2 of the EFL handbook states that clubs must register their pitch dimensions at the start of the season and these can only be altered during the season with the EFL’s written consent which will be only be given in exceptional circumstances. Maybe it was different in Jim Smith’s time. WystonRam, Archied and jono 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Pearson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he did though, it must have been a preseason change or the rules were different then. The current rules are clear - you can’t change your pitch size mid season.

Someone definitely did. But yeah, has to be done at the beginning of the season. Just like when you chose or declined the multi ball system.

Walkley Ram Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I picked up on it as Rams TV mentioned how narrow the pitch was. They suggested it might have been changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Shrewsbury play on the same pitch? But they sussed Warne doesn't have a Plan A or B?! 😄 Bald Eagle's Barmy Army 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC Kicks Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Yesterday was the first time in my life I've ever stopped watching a game while Derby were still in the game. I stopped after around 75mins because it was just too boring. Worse football I've seen us play ever (except 07/08). Chris_Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s getting boring reading the intransigence and polarisation in the conversations we seem to have running at the moment. It’s hardly worth reading 50% of the posts because you see a name and know exactly what the tone and message will be. Predictable, knee jerk reactions. Anyway, see you all Tuesday 🤣 Tyler Durden 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
