I lost count of the times Bentley hoofed it upfield straight to one of their players, putting us on the backfoot again Odd. I thought that we consistently put Derby under pressure through Bentley’s long kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the subs were spot on. This is my point it took for Derby to get a foothold back in befor he would do anything. 3 up at home with 30 mins to go. You tighten things up and shut up shop but he did nothing until Derby were back in it. Yes the subs after were good which is why I say he is a reactive manager. But a great manager would have done something to make sure there was no way back in the game for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Whoever said we played like an away side, at home, has it spot on for me. Yes, Derby had the ball a lot but in the middle and their defensive third, we know we can do that and handled it very well apart from the last 15. Fam MOTM for me, closely followed by Henriksen. Have we finally found a way to play at home? The fans know what we're doing so I, for one, can live with it but that last 10, Jesus Lee, O' Dowda and Rowe? Really? Some of us are past 50 and can't handle your subs and the 'excitement' they bring! As for Derby, lovely to watch their football but they were pretty toothless for a fair share of the game. Thankfully, they went for it too late. Well done City, COYR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course your right but going by the reactions to your comment most of them have a hard lesson to learn, let's hope there truly are better times ahead, bet you like me would love to be proved wrong about our natural sense of foreboding, in my local they call me doom and gloom which is all down to watching city on the telly and expecting the worst, I wish I was wrong more often but even when we were three nil up said well at least we might win three two now, I get a lot of stick for it and wish I was wrong more often but again I was right tonight, wish like the rest of them watching didn't always fear the worst but that's what watching city for 50 odd years does for you unfortunately.

The decision to bring Wells off was truly a shocker and nearly cost us 2 points. But a good win. Maybe we can be reinvigorated by the new players? Disagree. We were losing the midfield at that point and we needed an extra man as Rooney was dictating too much. Diedhiou is too important from defensive set pieces to take off so Wells the only logical sacrifice. O'Dowda has been awful for well over 12 months now, but did well last night. Should have had an assist if Weimman had an ounce of composure and did really well to put a bit of pressure on Rooney. Made them rush and allowed Benkovic and Williams to deal with a lot more straight balls than they had been before the subs. I'm not sure we can play Niklas on the right though, two players who absolutely cannot defend leaves us open to a lot of crosses into the box. Might be worth switching Nik and Jamie round.

I lost count of the times Bentley hoofed it upfield straight to one of their players, putting us on the backfoot again It would be nice if we were a bit more mixed in our distribution, for sure. Bentley started a few good counter attacks with quick, accurate throws in the first half, but at the end of the game we really could have done with keeping the ball a little bit longer at times to kill the game. Tough though, because the risk of playing out at that stage is conceding a goal. Hard to do that when the ball is at the other end of the pitch, so I can see the logic both ways.

If you're honestly disappointed after that then get to the doctor, no piss taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-mat Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 7 hours ago, Jerseybean said: Absolutely agree. We ended up defending far too deeply, with no forward outlet. Meaning that every time Derby came forward they had lots of time/space and when we cleared it came straight back at us. From being comfortable at 3-0 (at least as comfortable as it gets for us) we scrapped home 3-2 and if it had gone on much longer I think Derby were more likely to score than us.....I even had a flashback to that infamous Sunderland game.... Even before taking Wells off we were defending too deeply, allowing Derby the freedom to attack and then started defending once they were in the final third, a dangerous approach IMO. As downedcity points out we don’t defend from the front, if we did, the opposition would have much less time/space to build and create attacks and it would be much better for my heart rate. In the end it’s three points, but in true City fashion it was stressful to watch, a rollercoaster and didn’t fill me with any confidence. You ok hun?

Fair play everyone on and off the pitch.. Could be better but that's disrespectful of a decent Derby. A Derby side , it should be highlighted, who had only lost one of their last eleven matches before last night . We have just beaten a very good side who were on a great run . The difference , as it mostly is in this division, is that we took our chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublime in parts, ridiculous in others and overall, prone to giving us all a f****ing heart attack. My blood pressure was through the roof by the end of the game, had to go and have a lie down. Mind you it was 11.45 here and well time for bed anyway. still felt as if it was a bit high this morning, the tablets help though. Let's hope they can do better against Leeds on Saturday, I don't want the same symptoms then thank you City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
