BFTG - Derby

[John Madejski's Wallet]

Well that was a painful slog for a 3-0. Carved open through the middle time and again

Not happy with Joao, he was woeful today. And Ovie really guilty of overplaying with zero end product.
The rest distinctly average

Apart from Raphael, who kept us in it. Top lad


Still, a win's a sorely needed win. Onwards and upwards

Moaning about a 3-0 win

Moaning about a 3-0 win

Not surprised, fielding an early 16th century Italian painter was always going to be risky even if he did end up keeping us in it.

Hes talking about the ninja turtle. Get a grip.

[Snowball]

Moaning about a 3-0 win

He's right.

For moments we looked class but for a lot more moments
we were ripped a new one by a side in free-fall.

We will remember the result, but!

What about if they were all own goals, 5 of our players break their legs and the manager takes a shit on the centre circle?

What if Miazga had played and picked up a three match ban?

[URZZZZ]

If there’s a lesson of how not to play against 10 men, our first half was it. Ejaria and Meite too narrow, created too much emphasis on Gunter and Blackett to create. Both were poor for different reasons in that area

Meite stayed wider in the second half and Lowe couldn’t deal with him. A simple tweak changed the game for us

If we’ve learnt one thing though it’s that Pele has to start if we are to play a 2 man centre midfield. Him and Swift please next game

Think we all know Miazga is immune to retrospective 3 match bans. Sure, he punched an opposition player and told the ref he was going to oxf*rd his father that night when we played QPR and didnt get sanctioned.

Strange game;at times Derby with ten men looked better than us in the 1st half and then they went mental come 2nd half.At one time they had seven players on the pitch on yellow cards with one off following a straight red.There should also have been another Derby straight red on the 2nd penalty.
Yet only Gunter had a poorish game and there were a couple of very good performances.It seems forever that we are just ten percent off being a really good team.

IMHO
Rafael 6 Solid .couple of regulation saves and one really good one.
Gunte 5 If only he had a bit of self belief.
Blackett 6 One brain fade 2nd half ,but generally good.Unlucky with the yellow.
Moore 9 At his best.
Morrison 6 A very limited player,who believes in safety first ,because he gets caught out when he takes a touch.
Rino 7 Much much better today,seems to have recovered his confidence,up against a really good player in their number 23.
Adam 9 But for a couple of missed passes,would have been ten.Even at his advanced age, makes you realise what a great player he was.However did Blackpool get hold of him.
Ejaria 7 Not at his best today,but still some wonderful bits of play.Over egged it at times however.
Meite 8 The best of Meite today.Suprisingly good penalty.
Jao 7 Just dont know about him,but well taken goal.
Baldock 7 Ran his heart out with some good runs and some great tracking back.Once again however did not quite work for him.

Swiftly Needed the game,poorish start.But got better and better.
Pele Did his job effectively.
Boye Unfortunately did nothing right,there is potentially a good player in there somewhere.

Ref showed his inexperience and lost control at times.Bottled it on the red for the 2nd pen,but fair does on the red so early in the game and the dive by the Derby player.Not helped by his linesmen.

Derby will moan about all the cards,but they were fully justified.

Bowen as usual summed it accurately in his post match interview. Players took on board the half time instructions. Second half was defensively better.

Players looked far comfortable in 4-4-2 formation. Linked up well up front. Meite put in a good performance.

What an ill disciplined bunch Derby were. 7 yellow cards in addition to the straight red.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

That makes two of us then.

Needs to use his footballing brain better. First half was pushing far too high up the pitch to press the opposition out of possession. Leaving a lot of space for Derby to play in.

Just had a look .Have they changed the rules ? Last man and all that.If they have you are correct.

[Singing Defective]

Was impressed with their fans..well apart from the bunch who got booted out early second half from Y23..

Was that first half in fact longer than the runway in Fast and Furious 6?

Their supporters were terrible. Nothing to be impressed by. Leeds supporters were the benchmark for away fans this season.
