March 12, 201412 yr Rotation, rest, knocks on Saturday amongst other things come to mind, All respectable reasons .......... sometimes, when necessary. Not convinced it's what DF is thinking though. We'll see. Popular theory is we're waiting to get big earners & poor performers off the books, then DF can bring in his own players (if the club can afford that), and then we'll see what DF is made of. What's the timescale for this - summer 2014, January 2015, summer 2015, longer ?
March 12, 201412 yr When Mason first came, popular opinion was he was wank. Second come proved us wrong. Trotter getting the same sort of press ATM, lets hope next season he can do a mason (though I can't see him getting a start with current midfield four still being there)
March 12, 201412 yr Not been. Not listened. Point away from home to 3rd in table with illness robbing us of our first choice team. Happy. You wouldn't be happy if you'd paid £22 to watch that shite though
March 12, 201412 yr @MarcIles: Illness stopped Joe Mason starting today. Other absentees Eagles (eye infection) and Lonergan (ear infection) #bwfc Christ we're riddled.....
March 12, 201412 yr Ended up staying in Harvester until last orders, just got home. Trotter was bobbins, and bringing on Wheater was the ultimate "shut up shop" substitution. Don't think Spearing and Medo played their roles right tonight, offered little protection to the back four and weren't looking to take the ball off them like in recent weeks. Danns and Davies were pretty anonymous though which didn't help. Hutton, Knight and Ream all did well though.Fuck me, we've done well to keep a clean sheet with two midfielders doing nowt, two doing it wrong and one just being plain shit. Good job Mills was out.
March 12, 201412 yr Bogdan was time wasting on orders in the first 5 mins. I'm sorry but that was an awful way to setup. We defended well and bogdan was excellent but Derby were woeful going forward. No ambition to try and win that last night. Kicking the ball back to Derby to come at you again was a odd tactic.
March 12, 201412 yr I didn't go so i saved myself £22 but no matter how we played we got a point where as a month or so ago we would've got dicked, it's up to the home side to try and break us down and go out and win the game. I would've taken a point before the kick off so to me we did exactly what most people would've wanted.........not to get beat
March 12, 201412 yr Didn't Danns have a number of chances? I don't understand why some folk are complaining about bringing Wheater on with 2 minutes to go neither, it was the right decision. Derby had 4 strikers on the pitch by then and had us on the back foot. Take the clean sheet and a point. I'm happy with that. Roll on Saturday! COYW!

March 12, 201412 yr Alot that went seem to be critasing the performance. Do they need sectioning aswell? We were unambitious and negative like the majority of this season. People keep saying take the point as if we're going anywhere. Its all about the performance from now till end of season for me. Yes I appreciate we can't play like we did against Blackburn every week. But we can try! We have a defeatist attitude.

We were already under constant pressure, so taking off a worn out striker & bringing Wheater on to protect our point, was the right decision.
March 12, 201412 yr Anewman yep. Nice to put a face to a name, you was sat near the door when I was leaving with the gf, black coat

Yes I appreciate we can't play like we did against Blackburn every week. But we can try! We have a defeatist attitude. It's about staying in the championship 1st of all and at this moment in time we're no where near safe so sometimes it's about the result and not the performance, i wish we could combine the two everyweek but the Blackburn and Leeds performances are a bonus in a very bad season so far, if we can get anywhere near that from now until the end of the season well that will do for me

Why not carry on and pull away even more? Why revert back to what has put us in this position in the first place? It was working and great to watch. I am totally convinced that if we approached last nights game like the previous three we would have got a point minimum. I appreciate this seems harsh on what on the face of it is a decent point. However we are capable of better. I can take us dropping points anywhere as long as we've had a go. We've all seen recently what we are capable of if he lets them go. But I'm a lunatic what do I know? Edited March 12, 201412 yr by Carlos
March 12, 201412 yr Definition of insanity : doing the same thing over and over again. But expecting a different result.
March 12, 201412 yr Alot that went seem to be critasing the performance. Do they need sectioning aswell? No, but their emotions were skewed by being there and watching it. I didn't go and didn't even listen to it on the radio, therefore my opinion that it was a good, battling defensive performance is the correct one.
March 12, 201412 yr Definition of insanity : doing the same thing over and over again. But expecting a different result. Indeed. So why keep posting the same utter bollocks on here?
March 12, 201412 yr Decent result imo. 10 points and 11 goals in our last 4 games. I think most of us would've accepted that before we kicked off against Watford.
March 12, 201412 yr Nice to put a face to a name, you was sat near the door when I was leaving with the gf, black coat Should have had a word. Think I've only met about 5 people off here in 'real life'.

We've all seen recently what we are capable of if he lets them go. But I'm a lunatic what do I know? Wasn't Mason feeling unwell and that's why he was on the bench? so that's why we couldn't carry on as we were. 2 up front especially at home is what we should be doing but sometimes because of illness/injuries we can't
March 12, 201412 yr Fuck me, we've done well to keep a clean sheet with two midfielders doing nowt, two doing it wrong and one just being plain shit. Good job Mills was out. Medo did a decent job of breaking up play, but his distribution was terrible so it sort of defeats the object. Thought Spearing was poor but maybe I'm being too harsh in comparing him to his recent high standards? We just seemed to offer them far too much time and space in midfield when realistically with a five man midfield they shouldn't have got a sniff of getting it to the front two without lumping it forward. As I said in an earlier post after the game though, we came for a point and got one, so job done in that regard.
