slartibartfast Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Too much tinkering . Also... We scored a lot late on early season. I just think we were a lot fitter than some of the others, but during the corse of the season eveyone's caught up . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A point at Derby, regardless, is a good point. And more that pretty much anyone on here would have predicted when looking at the remaining fixtures. Everyone is entitled to their opinion on head coaches question:- Is it better to get a draw when winning 3-0 well into second half, or better to get a draw when losing 3-0 well into second half ? You and I give different answers to this question. Fair enough. Wonder what others think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Problem on saturday was the substitutions were wrong. We needed to refresh the full backs rather than the strikers as golbourne especially was knackered. We needed to defend the lead and hold it out by simply putting on fresher legs at the back. Tammy and Taylor could have continued harassing up front. It was poor decision making from LJ after what was a very good set up to start with.

downendcity Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 1 hour ago, 22A said: Earlier in the season Villa, Ipswich, Forest & Leeds were all beaten. On this forum defeats to Newcastle Norwich were accepted by most as both opponents had just come down from the Prem, City played well against them and only conceded one goal. I've been wondering what has happened as those earlier results are becoming a distant memory. The first half at Derby doesn't bear this theory up, but have the players decided en masse to only play when they feel like it? Those early games were very tight, and I suspect the players were concentrating hard and throughout the game. Earlier in the reason it was often our defence that kept us in games so that we could stage a second half comeback. I wonder on Saturday whether, when we went 3 up, the defence mentally relaxed, lost concentration and once Derby got one back and had their tails up they couldn't get the concentration and intensity back.

You and I give different answers to this question. Fair enough. Wonder what others think? Well, to use your phrase, you only get points for the final score, right? A few weeks ago people were lamenting the 'style' of football, saying let's at least go and have a go. I'm glad we did that, and it could easily have been 4-1. Obviously drawing from 3-0 up is tough to take, but sometimes to you have to credit the opposition too. In my opinion, again we've been undone by lapses in concentration and a lack of mental strength, interestingly often from the same few players, over and over again.

wendyredredrobin Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 There is no excuse for squandering a 3 goal lead anywhere, anytime. Either keep going and score 6 or shut up shop and keep posession. We did neither and paid the price YET AGAIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nest Egg Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Basically, imagine the feeling when a top Championship side begins to claw back and figure you out and your lionesque leading figure is nothing but wet blanket and professional human cauliflower, Dean Holden. After that our back 4 could defend an innocent man all the way to Death Row in some Cambodian jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny that because I believe Freeman has been been a used sub, an unused sub and had one start since moving. And his team have drawn one and lost two since he moved, so he is hardly pulling up trees with his new found confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being brought in to his new team gradually, playing well when on the pitch by all accounts, and a superb goal at the weekend. As for QPR not doing particularly well so Freeman can't be pulling up any trees, you must realise there's actually there's no correlation between the two. Freeman's a good Championship player imo. who LJ could neither instill confidence in, nor improve. In those respects I think he was ill served by LJ as a coach. Hollowhead, for all his manifold faults, knows how to breed confidence in his players and I expect Freeman to go from strength to strength under a manager - even a buffoon of a manager - who believes in him.
