reddogkev Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I'm not of the mind-set to fester, reflect on the negative, or fixate on the fact we drew 3-3 after leading 3-0. Instead I'm going to celebrate a well-earned point, and raise several glasses to the fact we didn't lose 4-3 (which we must've all feared). A point away to Derby is a cracking result, irrespective of the finer details. Don't forget, 3 games undefeated, building a bit of confidence now. And as for the fans there today, you lucky sods, must've been one hell of a match! If we could do something about our defending though lads - cheers!

Guest Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Absolutely not for me. 3-0 and we ****** it up, simply. There is no excusing 1 point when half way through you are 3-0 up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Probably would have been easier to lose 4-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all confidence was lost when it went to 3-3 and they could have add a 4 on 2 attempts which went narrowly wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globe Trotter Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Can't agree with this. It's all about the context of the result, a point at 3oclock - everyone would have taken it. A point at 5oclock after being 3 nil up; feels like a defeat - and could be a huge confidence hit for Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not convinced throwing away a 3-0 lead does much for confidence. I admire your positivity, it's a refreshing antidote to many on here, but let's not pretend failing to win with a 3 goal advantage after nearly an hour is in any way satisfying.

reformed_red Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Well done to the business manager who, after building a portfolio worth £500million, blew it all but still ended up with £157.89 more than when he started and an impressive stockpile of stationary.

We were 0-3 up at HT and we end up drawing 3-3? No matter how utterly shot the confidence is, you cannot do that. Absolutely ******* criminal, we deserve to be in a relo dogfight!!!

Red Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 LJ knows we can play 442 and have the striking power to score. Now he has to find that ability to keep hold of a lead and find the weak links between midfield and defence and who is prone to switching off.

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 It's a good result, great to see the scorers score as they did granted- and we didn't lose any ground with teams beneath- again good thing. But- that was appalling 2nd half. Appalling- did we stay 4-4-2 too long? Quite possibly, terrible collapse- as it turned out Burton and Wigan lost and Blackburn could only draw with Rotherham. QPR, Forest, Brentford, Villa all lost so not a BAD day but could it have been significantly better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any confidence built from the Wednesday and Rotherham games and the first half today will have been absolutely shattered after that. Back to the drawing board for the players. For me, the biggest positive of today would be Wigans late defeat at Fulham after being 2-1 up, and Burtons hammering at Brighton. That wont do their belief any good either.

Heartbreaking, but decent overall. I'm not excusing the fact that we exhibited the same frailties as against Rotherham (away), Sheff Wed (away), Cardiff, Reading etc...But the difference that this time we managed to build a big enough buffer that it wasn't a total disaster...just a partial disaster. Overall a point away at Derby is a decent result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
