Derby County (A)

[kent_white]

Hard to be that annoyed with them.

I hate it when when we don't turn up to games like this. But we dominated Derby for 80 minutes and created a few decent chances. 

Derby defended well saying that but we're always going to need a set piece to break us down. 

I'm gutted with the result but not the performance. 

Plenty of twists left if we carry on playing like that.

Bingo

Pompey away, miss huge chance, then concede a goal from a corner and lose.

Copy and paste. 

I'm sick of it and quite frankly can't be arsed anymore with these big games, same shit always happens, we bottle it.

I couldn't enjoy any of that game even when we were on top because I could just sense the inevitable happening.

We are absolutely dire at set pieces, Pompey and Derby are higher up for a reason, the score from them and can defend we cannot. And unless Evatt takes account of them I can't see us getting out of this league.

Predictably painful yet again.

Just defended one set piece badly and paid for it. Id like to see the corner again but I thought Coleman could of come and I would like to know who was meant to be marking the guy that scored. 

 That last 10 minutes was why we shouldn't play hoofball. Desperate hoofs in the box and we couldn't even win a header. Get it on the fucking floor and create a chance. 

Should never of lost that game. 

 

He couldn't come out and was unsighted for the shot, Waghorn stood right in front of him.

They made five substitutions before we made one. Evatt 15 mins too late again with his subs. Ogbeta and Maghoma looked knackered ten minutes before they were replaced. What on earth has Dempsey done to sit on the bench untill the last 6 minutes in a game like this

Not over by any stretch of the imagination.Derby will drop points they are a poor side

The only remaining fixtures they have where they might get troubled are Blackpool and Pompey if they're not already on their holidays.

Which is why we needed to win today. Ah well....

Sometimes your best just isn't good enough.

Can't be littered with strikers that don't score goals and expect to get results at places like that. 

We played brilliant and dominated in 2 thirds of the pitch. Wouldn't have scored if we played till next Tuesday.

Exactly this. There's always a chance of a narrow loss in an away fixture of this variety. What's cost us is Orient (a), Northampton (a), Charlton (h), Wigan (a), Blackpool (a), Exeter (a). 

Wigan (H), Carlisle (H)

[W.cramp]

Wouldn't like some of you lot in the trenches,  jeezus.    

[Lostock Whites]

Most typical result today, I just thought that once it could be slightly less predictable.

If somebody said to me before that game, we would mostly control the game but lose from a set piece I would not be surprised at all.

Not one of our subs made any impact or were likely too. 

That's our problem.

[FrancisFogarty]

As it has shown all season if we don't stamp our authority early on things tend to get out of our hands and we hand the game to the opponents. We keep going to the last minute now, but don't have the nouse (if that's a word) to take control back.

He's been poor since his back injury.

[TroySwoosh]

They'll drop points in the run-in, it's not over for the auto's, hopefully have Dion back after the break (maybe Baxter too)

[L/H White]

blackpool, wigan, derby, all the ball, little created, they take their chances

rinse and repeat 

it's getting tedious, we have to find a way to win these games when they matter most

Aye. I was focusing on what's gone on since New Year but you're right. 

[noxid]

How can you make an impact in the last six minutes

No team is going to rollover for them or any other club.They will drop points of that I'm certain

He hasn't been good enough to get in the team. Maybe changes could have been made earlier but he hasn't been good recently.

And all 5 of those subs were fucking shite

[deeane Koontz]

Not mad. 

They didn't go hiding like on other occassions.. just didn't have enough quality to put it in the net.

Desperately in need of some pace up top to stretch teams as an option as Collins and Bod like coming short. Hopefully Dion is back soon

I wouldn't like Evatt in charge of me either, with a pocket full of receipts as we went over the top.

No doubt we'd be all tactic'd up on our objectives but the Germans would just machine gun us dead.

The problem is when this team is in the trenches, they come out waving the white flag time & time again.

Derby were there for the taking.

We bottled that game.

Felt like they were there for the taking, they looked nervous at times and played like they would settle for a point, were as we looked like we wanted to win, can’t fault the players today , in total control for long periods and nullified there main danger man most of the game.
