IE has done a great job of lowering a lot of people's expectations Collins has been a good addition tbf other signings are questionable but let’s be honest he’s had the tools for automatic and failed he now has another chance Edited April 16 by radcliffe white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnston missing the whole season . 9 players missing at the same time in feb . Has he had the tools really to get over the line Edited April 16 by Farnywhite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Lofthouse Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 All the defenders were poor tonight even Toal. Only Paris showing for the ball in midfield and fuck knows what’s happened to Dempsey. We so struggle against shit house tactics, but we’ve only ourselves to blame with so many wank performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmjhb Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) Derby have a whole host of injuries too. The best managers find ways to win, apart from rinsing and repeat. The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again and expecting anything but the same result.

noxid Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Head's spinning after that. Really missed Santos at the back. Hope Sheehan our player of the season had a nice rest and a comfy seat on the bench whilst watching that must win game. Dempsey had a good second half as he got into the game after weeks on the bench but to me something seems a little off with him. He looks pretty miserable compared to last season. Hope he can find his spark again as we will need him in the playoffs. Subs made too late again of course. Don't know if its no Plan B or a stubborn refusal to accept that the initial tactics are not working. Frustrating night for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ph31 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Thomason isn't disciplined enough to play the holding role, we lacked control of the game and were caught on the break too easily without Sheehan there. Classic example where we've conceded the corner for their 2nd goal where Thomason has run into trouble high up the pitch and we've been left wide open at the back. If Sheehan needed a rest we're better with Morley there and Thomason playing higher up where he can play his natural game. Too many poor performances and mistakes tonight. Another miss from a yard to add to the collection, can't work out what Baxters done for their 2nd, it was well struck but straight and he had a good sight of it. Positives: we scored from a corner and corners were generally better, Dion is back, it would have been a worse result if we'd won on sat.

Sheehan did a sprint down the touch line, disappeared down the tunnel and never returned. Hopefully he’s not tweaked something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazBob Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Felt sorry for Maghoma tonight. He was so much better than everyone else on our team it was quite embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter only1swanny Posted April 16 Site Supporter Share Posted April 16 The plan went to pot when we brought Charles on, and we reverted to our tactics from Jan/Feb where it was "get it out wide and cross into a full box". Didn't seem to do much when he came on. Whole set up was wrong tonight, and I wouldn;t fancy our chances in the play-offs right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter superjohnmcginlay Posted April 16 Site Supporter Share Posted April 16 That’s proper took the wind out the sails, proper deflating that. even after Saturday and knowing pretty much play offs it was, performance was great, expected to roll onto tonight in similar fashion and get the job done. It’s been a tough draining season being outstanding one game then not so outstanding the next. There’s not been much middle ground. trying to stay positive, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted April 16 Moderators Share Posted April 16 1 hour ago, TroySwoosh said: shows how big of a miss Santos is. if he was playing they wouldn't have scored 2 Im not going to disagree, hes easily our best, but i think it was more we were missing both santos sheehan, and replaced by toal thomasson Leagues apart And another thing, on tonight, forrester is not our best centre back, prob not top 5 Id say first choice players tonight numbered 7. Id still expect us to win but its not so difficult to see why we struggled I thought maghoma was great We can still do it but it needs charles, santos, jones, sheehan proper fit, then we have as good a chance as anybody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them started today, I’m struggling to see how we have them 100% for play-offs. Charles looked well off the pace when he came on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a different player making a mistake each week. Those two goals were so bad defensively. I've just seen the replay of the second. The guy was completely free but it's right at baxter, he should do better. The second Looked like a bullet with a big deflection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
