Day Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I'm glad you posted that video, I had no idea what a back heel pass was. Andrew3000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Just to clarify then, is a back heel pass a pass done with the back of the heel? This soccer ball is so confusing. angieram, Curtains and Day 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtains Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Being serious now I thought Sonny played very well yesterday and has been getting better and better by the week at Derby. Back to the form he showed at Luton. Deserved MOM yesterday Crewton, S8TY, Eoghan1884 and 5 others 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I wonder if he is any good at centre forward ? Because he shouldn’t have been starting in a back 5 with 3 centre half’s at home again and Cashin and Nelson being fit.in my honest opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1976 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 He did play well yesterday, obviously if Warne reverts to a back four then it’s Nelson and Cashin. Glad he’s picked his form up though, at the beginning of the season both he and Nelson made bad errors (Nelson passed straight to a Wigan player who scored I believe) but I think Nelson stayed in due the right foot left foot combination with Cashin. Then with a run of games and team form improving Nelson got more settled. Bradley has been involved more in recent weeks and has grown in confidence given the extra game time.

Anag Ram Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 So I’m going to be controversial here. Bradley was better on Saturday but for his size he is physically weak. He gets pushed over far too often for a centre half. I fear for us when we’re up against a real strong centre forward like Bishop or Vokes. Bradley seems a bit of a flat track bully to me. Hope I’m wrong and that he establishes himself as we will need our defenders to be top rate between now and the end of the season. sage, europia and bimmerman 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had several inches on everyone on the pitch on Saturday, and got more involved with fighting the strikers than just winning the header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said to my mate on Saturday that every Stevenage challenge comes with an underhand dig, a shove, an arm-grab or a shirt-tug, all designed to put an opponent off-balance. It's like they'd been coached by Eddie Howe. Being passive in return gets you nothing from the officials in this division. VulcanRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Stevenage were doing all that because they were so much shorter than most teams, did they even have a player above 6ft? Sonny should've powered the lot.

Bradley completed more clearances than any other Derby player, and only Cashin with 11 to Bradley's 9 won more aerial challenges, so whatever he was doing, he did it fairly successfully. I've watched Bradley wrestling with opposition players and it certainly isn't one way, nor is it generally instigated by him. Perhaps opponents target him because of his height and perceived threat, but he seems to be on the receiving end more than Cash or Nelson.

I'm not sure the crowd noticed on Saturday as Stevenage had a player, at every corner, standing next to Wildsmith and either baulked his movement towards the ball or was pulling his shirt as he tried to jump for the ball. This is a similar tactic that Arsenal having been doing this season in the Premier and has been highlighted a couple of times on MotD, especially in their win against Liverpool recently.
