Murraysrightplum Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Disagree. Look at the positional play in defence. A huge improvement over DMC and it stifled Hull. I agree. No quality on the ball is what meant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Jordan Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Good honest performance, Hull if they go up might break Derby's points record on that showing. However if anybody believes that we do not need a creative midfield player they are dreaming, we do not have a player who can accurately pass the ball more a couple of yards and certainly nobody capable of passing the ball accurately forward in any way shape or form and as for Albert yes he is a talent but he is just far far too casual and wasteful and Baldock and Davies are not and will not ever become a successful strike partnership they do not compliment each other. Agreed, Baldock and Davies do not work together. I think SOD will play with 1 upfront next season when he's had chance to change personnel.

Talk Of The Town Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 0-0, matched the 2nd best team in the league, can't knock it tbf. Wasn't a terrible performance, and I think we were just as good as Hull. No pressure on us and hull have practically got their cigar out. We are still **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 In fairness, if we could have done that all season away from home we would still be in the league. Shame we only pull out performances when nothing is riding on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchay Red Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Odd. Looked solid at the back, busy in midfield but pretty woeful up front. Ah well, build from the back so well-done SoD for getting things organised. Just reinforces my unshakeable view that our best striker went to Bournemouth. I hear lots of rumours that Baldock & Davies are on big wages, if so I'll be happy to see them go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exiledinwatford Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Bit dull but can't fault the effort with some solid performances all round. I guess it was always about The Hull show but well done Flitcroft for giving us the credit we are due for tonights performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne allisons tongues Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 A typical city performance under sod compact but just lacking that killer ball. Desperately need a cm that can play that quality ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 On that showing though, I could say goodbye to Davies and have us partner Taylor and baldock next season which could be a good partnership. Burns, Ajala, Bryan and Anderson as wingers should be good with krans as sub striker. So ta da stead, Davies and adomah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Jordan Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 That'll be an exciting season then. Not 2 up top is a thing of the past. Football can be very exciting with 1 upfront if you've got enough attacking players around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brizzle Jordan Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 United play two up top They are the kings at it. 4-4-2 is a dying formation these days. The last 4 in the champions league all play with 1 striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Blimey you are easy to please. Bet your missus loves you then. !! I recognise it. It's what AD did when he started building THE promotion side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibs Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 The commentators give us credit, the presenters give us credit, the opposition even give us credit but its of no surprise to me that a couple on here are still moaning. It really says a lot about your mentality toward the club. We just got a point away at a team that will almost certainly be promoted to the PL. They hardly caused us a problem all night. If we had a bit more quality with the final ball we'd have been in 3 or 4 times. My only issue is that SO'D waited so long to get Burns on fir Davies who had a poor game and quite honestly looked completely shagged after a bout 30 minutes. Take the point, it was deserved and cheer the **** up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderbeans Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I can see SOD is organising the defence for next season and have a feeling Cunningham, Moloney, bates and one other will form this. On tonight's showing, positive steps have been made. Next is to transition play from defence through to midfield. All we need is a midfielder who can pass and create.
