Derby Match Thread

[Westway]

What a dreadful game of football. Criminal that Ollie didn't take Pawel off earlier when it was obvious he wasn't fit enough to play.
Oh well, if those three points are enough for Derby to push Phleghm out the play off places then I'd be happy.

[Olly]

Didn't watch the game, were they pressing us?

Poor end of season nothing game for me.

Derby had an edge, at home vs a hated opposition and a new manager on board. We we're hopeless and going through the motions.

Onto the next one.....

Exactly Jeff.

This was a shocking performance. Devoid of almost everything other than a lack of composure and determination.

How Olly could even consider continuing with such a poor set up after the break is beyond me. Not that it'll have any real effect on our season now, but he needs to stop being so stupidly stubborn next season.

In Ollies defence he doesn't know we would play like that when picking his team. Apart from giving them so much space we lacked a real dominance in midfield. It's almost as if we played with defence and forwards and that's it. Could really have done with Makie on to shake things up and close them down. But it was not to be. We move on to Tuesday and Aston Vanilla and Brighton next Friday. Lets hope we will be a bit more solid then.

Nothing to press. We didn't turn up.

Not great but let's be honest if the header goes in off the post.
...... Hard fought draw. Good run continues blah blah blah. Still think we will turn Brighton over next week.

This must be one of our worst performances in recent months. There was no positives from the game. Most of the players were rubbish and looked like they are already planning their holidays! Even Freeman was very poor today. Hope this is only an exception as we have some tough games coming up. Luongo was sorely missed in the middle of the park. We kept giving the ball away and looked without any sort of ideas. Tbh, cannot see the reason behind the four changes made by Ollie. He had no option in regards to Luongo. But why drop Sylla and Yeni when they did have a terrific game against Rotherham? The only good chance we had was the header by Sylla.

[Olly]

Wow

[Macca]

Strange line up why did it take so long for IH to work it out that it was not working two of the worst players on the park Furlong and Birdwell we need a couple of decent full backs, but let's see how we finish the season can't complain to much after the last few weeks, just worries me about some of IH line ups and that could be a problem next season

[LoftusRoadLad]

Gave them too much space on the wings . 3 at the back dont work without propa wingbacks.

[nanocopic]

Poor performance but in general we have been fantastic recently and Macca that includes Bidwell who has probably been one of our best players. One loss doesn't mean we should forget we are still one of the top teams in the championship at the moment. As everyone says one win doesn't make us world beaters all of a sudden.
It wasn't a strange line up at all. Exactly the same formation as always, just we had Perch and Manning instead of Lynch and Luongo. Every team has bad games and this was ours, hardly end of the world.

Be interesting to hear Ollies take on it

[James1979]

Agree with most of above. I thought Goss looked good when he came on.

[The General]

We played with no width tonight just hoofed everything up to smith

Ned gave away 4 suiciidel passes ..Pavel and Freeman very poor tonight ..lucky it wasn't 3 -0

Derby closed us down so hard we could not breath reminded me of the play off final game
