He and NML regularly failed to close down defenders and created very little. Even when Wash got the dream chance, he fluffed it. I thought he was our weakest player. Everyone else deserved 7 or higher except perhaps NML who still looks like he’s struggling for fitness. I think he worked fairly hard, although you can tell he was choosing when to exert himself due to lack of match fitness. His movement was o.k and moved defenders around a bit, that said he wasn't particularly effective. It's debatable which of him or Waghorn should have started, both look short of match fitness and a bit out of sorts as a result. Also think we've rushed Collins back too early, as he looked even more out of sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really much 'long ball' today but pretty negative in not committing players forward. Not seeing all this 'great football' from Blackpool. They were similar to how Derby can be, lots of passing across the backine but no idea how to create an actual chance. One great chance near the end when Derby heroically threw themselves in the way of a flurry of shots. Derby shaded it, tough watch at times. Not aided by a ref who blew for every tiny bit of contact on a Blackpool player. We said weeks ago that performances don’t matter , just win . Even if you have to “play for time “ with 15 mins to go . We did show a bit of quality when Sibley had the ball around Blackpool’s penalty area .

Sufferingfool Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 The different prism’s through which we see games! FWIW I thought today’s performance was a distance away from some of those horrors earlier in the season and we looked to play some good football at times, if not always successfully. NML was lovely first half but tired as did Washington who made some good runs including one wrongly flagged offside, another where he would have buried a cross from Ward had it not been cut off and the chance when he was free was at an angle where you would only back a fully fit striker to score. For me he did fine and gives us something different. Rammy03, norwichram, Ilkestonian and 8 others 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally disagree, I thought that Collins and Thommo were excellent, non stop chasing down 3 defenders between the pair of them. Some nice touches from Collins showed us just what we've been missing lately and he's come back not a moment too soon, imo.

DavesaRam Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Well we got the points, and Blackpool went away happy with a record medals haul for their second sport of Olympic Diving! Actually, with Blackpool coming to play it was quite a good match of football in the most part, and our whole squad played their part. I don't think anyone played badly, with Hourihane perhaps with the worst bit near the end when he made a typical Hourihane clearance which was a hoof over his shoulder vaguely in the direction of the Blackpool half, with height attained seemingly more important than the fact that it went straight to a group of 3 opposition players. But he did ok during his cameo appearance, so no bother! I thought Ward and Wilson worked together really well today, and the back 4 did a great job. And although people on here have talked about the Blackpool chances on the first half, I never felt that they threatened hardly at all. Apart from the Wildsmith save from free kick, they didn't actually threaten from open play until the 86th minute. ell done you Rams! They were handy with the ball, and maybe had mor possession, but actually did very little with it, while Derby did look threatening on a number of occasions. The holding off and not pressing was a tactical decision by Warne who told them to hold station because when they did press, Blackpool were able to "pick them off (Warne's words), and the tactics worked well. Good on you, coaches! Re the ref - some people say that he was quit good. I think it would be more accurate to acknowledge that he wasn't the worst we have had, and didn't make any match-changing gaffes, although it seemed that the linos were doing their best to balls things up. But the truth is that he gave an enormous number of soft decisions in Blackpool's favour, hence my opening hint at their falling to the floor so easily, with the ref falling for it most times, yet not punishing Blackpool players for a series of bad challenges. And we were all shouting for a penalty when Ebou hammered the ball home, because it was a blatant handball. He clearly didn't intend to give it, so well done Mr Adams! I was expecting the ref to rule the goal out and give the penalty after all, but thankfully he didn't. Which would have been a shame, because the goal was a cracker! And at last, it was satisfying to be at a match where we were trying to do football, and where we were relatively comfortable, and where I didn't feel worried or scared for the whole match long. jono, Caerphilly Ram, DiggerB and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep 😊 There was a panicky moment in our box after Collo came on, a mix of botched clearances, blocks and scrappiness. Collo brought the ball down from one of them, played for the free kick with 2 men on him, all calm and collected. Just killed the the threat by using his nous. He hasn’t got the pace and skill to rip defences apart but he’s a flipping good experienced player with diverse and valuable elements to his game DiggerB, DavesaRam, ck- and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matchday Fred Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 What was left full-back Sibley doing on the right-wing just before the goal ? That’s some version of ‘total’ football. jimtastic56, therealhantsram and RoyMac5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
