Crewe Alexandra versus Derby County - Match Day Thread ( FA Cup 1st Round )

[Goldstar]

I'd just like to see some decisiveness in the box, we're literally walking and taking 10 attempts then a half hearted shot. Tedious stuff.

Bradley still complaining to the ref at half time. He needs to calm down. 

In fairness, the same players had 2 goes at the elbow.

Quelle surprise, a corner was not turned on Tuesday. Back to our losing ways under Warne

Yeah I was thinking if I was a Crewe player I’d leave one in on him soon and watch him get himself sent off.

That's the difference when you get space. 

You can't just rely on the opposition giving you space though? You have to move them around a bit to create it.

We've managed to do that a couple of times but that's nowhere near often enough.

[EulogyForEvolution]

That was the most f****** Derby County half of football I've ever seen.

[PrideParkhead]

11 Crewe players in the box every time we attack. Gonna be a long frustrating day. Can't seem to win back to back games whoever the opposition is 😬

Why? The only save their keeper has made has been from one of their players trying to score an own goal.

You've seen the chances. One of the line. A save.  Bird put over a sitter.  Barkhuizen/Washington combo.  There the ones I can of offhand.

[Srg]

When Korey Smith jogs out for the second half. 

[Kooklaram]

Zero quality upfront , can't understand how we miss the target so often

Switched off again at the back

 

 

 

[Caerphilly Ram]

One moment of real quality the difference in a game we’ve dominated. The ball getting out wide for the cross they scored from was far too easy, the midfield was non-existent.
There’s plenty of time and options to turn it round, would take Smith off for Sibley and perhaps get Ward on for his crossing/set piece/shooting from range. 

[Rev]

We'll win this, comfortably. 

[Carl Sagan]

We have a team of hopeless finishers. I'd bring on Sibley (for Smith) and Ward (for Barkhuizen) at HT so our shooting and crossing improve. 

[StaffsRam]

Our creativity and decision making in the final third is shockingly poor. When we have a defence that always has the ability to gift a goal away that’s not a good combination.

A half that’s almost a perfect showcase of what’s wrong with us this season. Depressing.

At least wait until full time.

[TINMANTED]

absolutely toothless up front,have we actually had a shot on target?loads of the usual crosses to the invisible man and shots into row z,think we must have goals the size of the south stand on the training pitch

Found the Crewe fan.

Same old problem, distinct lack of quality!

Im one of Warnes biggest critics but he can feel let down so far by our players.
Set up to dominate and have but my god the players have been rubbish. 

Absolutely no quality. 
 

Forsyth is having one of those occasional games he has where he doesn’t look like a footballer. TB and NML have both been very wasteful. They need to just sort it out themselves. 

Agree I’ve been on Warnes case recently but the players have been very wasteful and we are trying to play football ..the end ball is poor at times and we could be 3-1 up 

[DCFC1388]

Forsyth been woeful, passing been poor & his defending for their goal was pathetic. We have acres down the right but Nyambe is too defensive.

Need to take either Smith or Hourihane off & put Nyambe LB with Ward or Wilson RB.

Go 4132 with Ward & Collins on.
