bcnram Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 At the risk of becoming boring and repetitive, I like Nigel Clough but his stubborn streak and his obsession with 'not losing as oppose to winning gets on my nerves. I'm not a coach I admit. But Ive seen enough football to know that Connor Doyle is not anywhere near the standard we need to achieve our targets. I love Nigel, but he gets on my nerves I view it a little differently than you. I like the way our defence is hard to break down. After the games against Stoke and Barnsley it was important that we got something out of this game. As the late and great Brian Clough used to say: "If you keep a clean sheet you only need one goal to win" or "You start of with a point given to you, why throw it away"?

-JW- Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Just to let everyone know, Connor Doyle has been the best player in training for the past month and the improvement in his football has turned a lot of heads, including international scouts! From someone who works in Derby I got told he has been head and shoulders above everyone in training, as well as putting in a lot more hours than asked! This is why he got a place in the squad, and exactly how it should be! Best player in training should be in the playing squad at least, keeps everyone on their toes... they know what to do!

DerbyRam! Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 awful game tbh, neither side had more than 2 good chances, though we had the best chance on about 43minutes when craig bryson missed an absolute sitter of a rebound :/ apart from that i dont think either side had a shot on target? pitiful, and cloughs tactic with 10 minutes to go was take of tyson, bring on buxton - a move i despise atm, utterly puts us under pressure for the last 15min and gives us no chance of a goal with ball as the loan striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Lack of creativity? We're not that bad. Yeah, we haven't got a Biaino or Bueno but most teams don't. The reason why we're not creating chances is we don't have any midfielders on the top of their game. All of them, I feel, are working hard enough but I think they can all play much much better...

Ramarena Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Buxton came on in the 86th minute. Seven mins of injury time puts him on the pitch for 11 mins 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ph34r' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ph34r:' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammie Steve Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Doyle really turned this game in the last 10 seconds. 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' /> A bit like Hector against Poland. He nearly saved England's blushes in a 90 second appearance by making a brilliant solo attack. Perhaps Nige expected the same of Doyle. Oh well.

AndyB Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Well we've improved on last season while further reducing the wage bill so I'm happy with Clough in the context of the playing budget he has. I'm not happy with the board though. In business you need to speculate taking sensible managed risks if you want to grow the business. I don't think we're many sensible signings away from a top 6 side. The board are unwilling to take this step. Board out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Yes, the new rules will have minimal impact over the first few seasons as I understand them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Teale Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I'm pretty sure they won't be that strict otherwise all them other clubs who dont have such a wonderfull board as us who are all so much in debt, well as many keep telling us on here wouldn't vote it in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 GSE have been subsidising the wage bill to the tune of £2-2.5m a year. Now we are on budget, the same investment in fees, could see us a top six team next season, with a bit of luck on the injury front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Wishful thinking GSE are going to fund, I think they're trying to save money. Fans are being asked to fund with increased ticket prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to slightly disagree, my complaint is that if you know you are going to play a tight match every game, then you focus on looking from scoring from deadball situations, would be very interested to know the stats of how many goals we've scored from a corner or a freekick? Or even last time when we scored a goal from a shot outside of the penalty area? Thats the problem with me, we are stuck between two dismal stools at the moment. And the stat about us not scoring in the last 10 mins sums up Clough's attitude to being adventurous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GboroRam Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 and what's wrong with that? Exactly. I get bored of the "the board should grant us a large sum of money" mentality. If football can't fund itself without a sugar daddy, something's fundamentally wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
