We don't have anyone else who can hold the ball up and at times he's not very good at it anyway. I guess we were spoilt with how well Fam used to do it. Not sure we ever fully appreciated Fam TBH. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Garland-sweden Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 We have taken many points home lately. It started with the Barnsley win. Great with a win today, we could have put the game in bed first half. Time to take an away win! COYR Quote Link to comment

It will be slog and not be pretty to watch but it looks unlikely we will go down. We are playing poorly but still 3 points off 9 th place . Feel calm after that result. Home form is decent now but away form has gone to pot. Agreed. My aspirations for this season were a 14th-18th finish whilst avoiding getting dragged into a relegation dogfight. So far, so good.

NP told us mid table this season and we're getting it. In fact, had we beaten both Forest and Coventry, as we perhaps should have done, we would now be in the play off positions!

CTIDhc Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Derbys number 36, Ebosele, should be on our radar for January imo, quick winger can beat a man and only 19 years old, cracking player 9 Quote Link to comment
The Swan and Cemetery Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) We’ve still only ‘won’ one 2nd half this season, think this has to be linked to lack of possession meaning we run out of steam due to chasing around so much, which is linked to composure and ability to make passes (both passer and receiver) accurately and quickly. Whilst I get why Benarous was left out after Sheff Utd, him and Scott need to be the way forward, as both able to hold the ball, make a pass, milk a free kick. But overall appears as if there are 3 teams much worse than the rest, so we should be fine, feels weird that we’re closer to play offs than relegation.

BCFCGav Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Solid performance today, a clean sheet without any massive Bentley saves is a great sign. And always worth reminding everyone, Cristiano Ronaldo has Alex Scott pyjamas. Quote Link to comment

Blackpool I agree, although I thought, despite their frustrating late equaliser, a draw against Luton was probably a fair result overall. The one that really annoyed was the defeat at home to swansea, when we completely dominated them. 3 Quote Link to comment
Davefevs Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Caught the last 15 minutes, nervy as hell. But if we’d have played well and lost, we’d have all be saying performance means nothing….so 3 points, distancing ourselves by an extra 3 points from relegation, up a place, with mid-table in touching distance. Whobwere the stand outs….the square peg in a round hole getting the all-important goal? Good to see James make the 18 and get 25 mins. Hopefully means we don’t have to rush King either, although he might be ok next week. Good crowd 18,732. Was it a front 3 or Weimann in the “hole”. Rovers in the cup, or Shrewsbury?

Colemanballs Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Slightly surprised at some of the negative comments on here tonight. First half, I thought we saw how Nige wants us to play. Yes, they had more possession, but we looked easily the most threatening, even (particularly) when they had the ball. It reminded me of the Leicester title winning team. Second half, energy levels dropped off, but our shape was generally solid. I don't remember them having a clear cut chance all game. Thought the subs all did pretty well. Personally, would have gone for Benarous for Martin instead of James for Bakinson, but understand Nige's thinking. Overall, I think it was a decent performance. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Weimann in the hole. Standouts were Kalas (as usual), Scott & O’Dowda for me. HNM better than Bakinson but still that tendency to follow the ball.. Shout out to all 3 subs who made a decent contribution, we know all about James but Wells looked lively & won several 50/50s. Derby’s first shot on target was in the 88th minute, they looked as punchless as a side we’ve played & if Martin & Semenyo hadn’t missed very presentable 1st half chances it would have been our first “easy” win.

Davefevs Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Some thoughts from 20 mins viewing: Why does Bentley cut across so many clearances, ending up in a slice and no distance Why does he kick with a slice too. Just drill / drive the ball…lower. Quote Link to comment

Must be clubs sniffing around him in January. Didnt think a single one of their players stood out at all. Punchless, no creativity and they played like O’Driscoll was their manager. The RW gets points for trying but again created nothing, whilst bottling the challenge with Kalas to get him a booking. Atleast he was positive and went forwards with the ball but i wouldnt be shopping in the Derby County January sales if it were me. Quote Link to comment
