WalthamOwl Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 We need to set up with a positive attacking line up, Derby are as crap as us so let’s take the game to them, like we did against Cardiff. No use sitting back for 90 minutes just hoping for the best. None of this pathetic negative crap like we saw against Forest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costello 77 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Has anyone mentioned that we need to get plenty of swerving shots away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should only be Gung Ho if we need a goal in last 10 mins and nothing to lose. Predict for the neutral it wont be a very good game to watch. Too poor sides, low on confidence and plenty at stake rarely makes a good match. Might be interesting though if 10 mins left and we both need a win.

bladeshater Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Must be clever constructive play at a decent tempo and hope we get a bit of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHERSTATE Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 We said all this before the forest match and look what happened. Whats changed? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HillsboroughOwlNI Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Agreed, no excuses. We always looked tired and tbh hopeless, in second halves when we were playing twice a week. Now it’s only 1 game a week, we can press hard and attack for 90 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gparrish Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I wouldn't go gung ho from the start. I do however want to see some positive intent from the start, rather than a passive hour then deciding to show intent. Which can be demonstrated by our tempo and pressing.

The weather is going to be horrendous apparently, so get Reach unleashing some. We need to win this in the first half. We’ve only scored 1/3rd of our goals in the 2nd half so it’s no good sitting back hoping to nick it at 75 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Don’t expect that. These hyped up games usually aren’t all that. Both teams will be terrified to make a mistake. A 1-0 win either side for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 The key time for us on Saturday is 11.30. When we open the teamsheet. This - we’ll win. Westwood Urhoghide Hutchinson Borner Palmer Joey Paterson Bannan Reach Rhodes Windass If it’s anything like the abominations he’s picked for Bristol City, Boro and Forest we can’t win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pughies Jockstrap Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 13 hours ago, Tollertonowl said: If we go to Derby then we better be throwing everything we have at them for the full game in attacking football, as we just haven't (or had) the players capable of sitting back, inviting them on and seeing out the games (for either short or long periods) on a 1-2 goal lead. Dont think we have anywhere near the quality to do that - if we had we wouldn't be in this bloody mess. I think it will be like a cup final very nervous start players terrified of making mistakes although it hasn't stopped our lot from making plenty so far this season. Ultimately it will be down not who dares wins in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby (of late) have been scoring first, that has been game over (all season) as far as we're concerned. You can also flip that as well because SKY said at the weekend we have dropped 27 points from a winning position. Going to be a nail biter, just hope they turn up and don't roll over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlyegg Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 6 hours ago, ChapSmurf said: All out attack for any football team is suicidal. Think that depends on who you are playing...normally I would agree though. This game is different, if we can score early and keep the pressure on derby could easily roll over, I don't think rooney would know what to do...panic probably. The reverse could also be true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Anyone told Borner of the plan and which colours we are playing in ? Given the quality of some of his recent back passes he’s more likely to make an incisive through ball to the Derby strikers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
