Lanterne Rouge Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Fam coming on seemed to give Bobby a new lease of life second half, he has really been missing having him out there. 2 Quote Link to comment

WECANDO Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Well that was a lucky point. A few of ours are well and truly knackered. Brownhill, Pack and Bryan. Could have been a 1-0 win if Bryan had been the position Patterson took up. Johnson failed to bring on our last sub in extra time to give the lads a breather and slow the game down. Must ask Warnock to have a word. If we play like that against Man C we will lose 6-0. Still a point is good. Quote Link to comment
Major Isewater Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Happy with that . A sacrifice needed to the Football gods for a non penalty ! Well done lads . They've ground out a result and made Derby look very ordinary. We weren't pretty but stuck to it . Forget the performance concentrate on the clean sheet and a point at Prude Park . The promotion dream is still on . 1 Quote Link to comment
Cider red Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Weird game; if we weren't so knackered I feel we are better than derby. We take a point, run of winnable games now. Quote Link to comment

BTRFTG Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 To everybody getting after Hodour tonight use your Sky + and rewind 30 seconds and, if your not so blinkered, you'll see an entirely different game. Cease blaming the player who's been forced into difficult positions or making errors. Pack was woeful, nee a dangerous liability most of the night. Bryan not far behind him post yet another stupid challenge, but as he's 'one of our own' you forgive him. Just how far does he think his talents allow him to stand off opponents? Premiership he is not, but no worries as we'll blame the foreigner who mops up his failings. Both's positioning and combativeness cost us dear. Brownhill and Patts shut up shop but offered little going forward. Reid is not a striker. Good point to stop the rot and those who usually stand up did so again. Steele did now't wrong when coming on but hope Fearless isn't out for long. Jerome was fouled but paid the price for exaggeration. Deserved. 5 1 Quote Link to comment
Keith Welch Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Thought Pack was excellent. Some much needed calmness on the ball when we started to panic. Quote Link to comment

1bristolcity Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 We were never going to play sweet passing football with the run we were on, dogged defending and a bit of luck, sometimes that's what you need to get back on track. 4 Quote Link to comment

Still a point is good. No reason for them to be knackered after a week off really. Maybe not quite 100% some players, maybe mid week at the back of their mind, who knows, but for whatever reason to many players not quite on their game. No league goals in 3 is a worry, but Fam suddenly gave us more options. Lucky for sure tonight. I did think considering we were away at a good side we managed posession pretty well, just without any real thrust. Against that had to use up two subs because of injuries so the luck was not all one way. Excellent point, average performance. Edited January 19, 2018 by cityexile Quote Link to comment

cidered abroad Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 I expected the worst so I'm, that's a very good result. Oh me of little faith. What I'm more surprised at is the amount of vitriol against some of our players. It's a team game and away at in form second in the table, that is a very creditable draw. Another point, the losing run halted, and still in the hunt. 4 1 Quote Link to comment

BCFC Rich Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 A good result, us Wolves and Ipswich are the only sides to stop Derby scoring at home this season. They also have 8 clean sheets in the last 11 going into this one (9 in 12 now). So a really good result without even considering current league standings, injuries etc. 1 Quote Link to comment
You Do The Dziekanowski Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Good point, still in the promotion mix and we’ve only got 2 of the current top 6 left to play, Cardiff and Sheff Utd. Whereas Derby have to play Wolves (H) Cardiff (A) and Villa (A). Villa have Sheff U (A) Wolves (H) Cardiff (H) and Derby (H) - The last 2 are just before the end of the season. Cardiff have Us (H) Derby (A) Sheff (A) Wolves (H) Villa (A) - The last 3 are back to back in April! Looking at it, our run in is easier on paper and with a fully fit team here’s hoping we can pick up points when the others drop them. Cardiff could seriously struggle over that 3 game stint in April, looks like the fixture computer had it in for them 1 Quote Link to comment

RED4LIFE Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Not a vintage performance compared to some this season but definitely a point well earned. We kept trying to play our passing game but we seemed to have ran out of ideas in the final third. Not sure if its because we are knackered or if its because teams have began to suss us out.

CiderHider Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Who did Johnson go nuts at towards the end? Was it Mags? He had a tough game, but i thought he did good, Ice cool Icelandic nothing seems to faze him to the point i think he's occasionally being too casual, you can tell he has Italian pedigree which is good and he is getting better, but whatever is going on between him and Bryan they need to improve, Johnson likes to mix them up, which will confuse the opposition, and occasionally the players? Aye, i think its more tactical than anything else, must be annoying having no one to cross into, the Fam coming back hit them like Caffeine though, they all knew what to do and having Fam took the pressure off a bit, glad he is back, it was a lift that was noticeable. COYR! 1 Quote Link to comment

I think so, see the number of times he was out of position or ceded possession in key areas. His lack of pace was exploited by Derby all night. He also gives the ball away far too much, very few of his Hoddle balls connected tonight. He needs to pass and move and whilst he's good at the first, for the second he struggles majorly and after the hour shouldn't be on the park. Quote Link to comment

The team looked really tired in the last 15 minutes, and if Baker is out, we'll need to change something in the starting XI. That being said, having Fammy back is like a new signing.

Midred Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Disappointed with Joe tonight, he appears to be believing his own hype and seemed to be bollocking alot of people when he couldn't be arsed to run after the ball. Whilst not every ball was to his toe he seemed to be expecting it. Tin hat on! 1 Quote Link to comment

CiderHider Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) Always liked McLaren, shame the media done him good like Miliband. The amount of games and the quality of the opposition in this run has been hilerious, Wolves, ManU, ManC, Derby, Villa to name a few. Christ, some serious football right here.
