SallyCinnamon Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Jeez we've got along way to go if we want to be fighting for promotion. Patient build up play, always a man in space, players driving forward, bringing it out from the back, no hoof whatsoever, quick closing down, neat passing. They've had a number of years at this level and spent money recently, I just hope we can one day be as good as that. Hughes, Hendrick and Ince all top quality. Fair play to us for going twice in front, but I'm gracious in defeat because truly the best team won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest OWLSCHRIS Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 All is good then, I mean were only 3 games away from relegation places but the chaps gave it a cracking go!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 nothing special at the back, but the amount of quality they have in midfield and attack is very impressive. They have a glut of players with technical ability and creative edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you expect us to win today? If we lose Tuesday then we can start to worry a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OWLSCHRIS Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 No I didn't expect us to win but you'd think being infront twice would at least yield a point ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrs Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Derby are a perfect blueprint for us really. Last few seasons they've finished 19th, 12th, 10th, 3rd and now 1st without ever spending big sums of money. I'd like to think it's where we could be in a couple of years, but to take the next step they ditched an average manager in Clough and brought in a good one in McLaren - hope we do the same.

Swiss Toni Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Derby were poor by their standards. I had to sit in with them due to their ticket allocation being poor for away fans. Lots of fans around me saying it was the worst passing display they had seen from them this season at home. We restricted them to not many efforts on goal and they only really looked more threatening when we went down to 10 men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 There isn't a good team in the league. Just because they are better then us does not make them good. No. Derby are a very good side. Defensively a bit suspect, but going forward they're very very pleasing on the eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sheff Owl Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) If we was in for Tom Ince then you know why he choose Derby over us or anyone else. Derby are a good team, fighting for promotion or go to Sheffield Wednesday who are erm...useless and in mid table. They have some quality players and not forgetting how long they have all been together. It does take time.

They've not exactly had a budget of £0 though have they! They spent £2m on Thorne! Just not bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 To have Jesse Lingard and Jamie Ward on the bench shows you what strength in depth they've got, that's without there top scorer Chris Martin aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget how well Gray is at getting clean sheets though... And he's such a nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Toni Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 No they are not. You idea of a "very good side" and mine obviously differ. How do you think they will fair next year if (if) they go up? Better than they did a couple of times ago. They still hold the record for lowest ever points total in a Premier League season.

How do you think they will fair next year if (if) they go up? Teams don't tend to start the premier league with the team they finished the championship with. Impossible to say how they'll fair.
