Derby County at home match-day thread


Recommended Posts

3 points is 3 points.

It was good at times today, poor at others. Just tired in the second half and lost discipline at times, but we had the goal and defended it.

Home form slowly turning around, another step to getting through this season and we're moving, slowly, in the right direction, now closer to the top 6 than the bottom 3 in terms of points, with only 3 points separating 8 teams between 10th and us in 17th.

The bottom three are really starting to cut adrift at the moment. Way too early in the season to say anything for certain but none of them look that well placed to drag other teams into it at the moment...

It`s worth noting that we`ve beaten all of the bottom five. If we hadn`t............................................................................

We're digging games out, while still not playing great.  It may not be pretty but its better than losing/drawing in last seconds of games. Keep on picking up points till we get to Jan and a few loans to strengthen areas.  We seem to show glipses of what Nigel is trying to achieve, at last.

It`s a psychological thing. Winning while playing poorly still gets confidence up.

Yep and look as if we’re trying to do the right things a lot of the time, just failing a bit too often. A slightly better press and significantly better passing/ball retention needed to help us avoid being out on our feet in the last 15 of every game. We had the better chances overall and should have been out of sight. Still restricted them to not much, despite some very panicked play later on, which think is fatigue as much as lack of composure.

Be glad that we won and we are 10 points clear of that place that would ruin our Christmas.

I will take a few wins like that. This season is about surviving and maybe making a few boundaries in our team to prepare for the next.

Indeed! 10 points clear of the drop aswell.. the bottom 3 are starting to get cut adrift which is happy days!!

10 pts less we'd be in the bottom tree. Ten points more we'd be in the play off places. NP told us mid table this season and we're getting it.

What's the point of loans in a midtable season? Save the dosh for permanents in the summer surely

A good & very welcome win! 

Still very concerning that, again, we have around 30% possession in games - it's simply not good enough and invites pressure & problems - that need rectifying ASAP. 

A good with though, so can't complain too much, but stats also need to improve to build some momentum. 

Every 3 points are massive at the moment. Get safety guaranteed ASAP and then build from there.
