Popular Post shandypants Posted December 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2022 Like all Wednesdayites, I wanted three points but: We haven't beaten Derby at their place for years Warne knows how to beat us Derby are no mugs - they have playoff ambitions and have assembled a good squad We had key players out in Defence, Midfield, and Attack Our bench lacked creativity We haven't lost ground on Ipswich We've gained ground on Plymouth We still have over two points per game Three points would have been brilliant but a point sort of works for me also. 30 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quinnssweetshop Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 A little bit of effort over a ten minute period with the right tactics, and we could have had a couple at least. Poor tactics today..... Playing safe when you need to win to get more points than the other side.... He bottled it 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveClark Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I'll take the point, and also your point about key players out. I think most people grumbling today will be all mentioning the same points though about abject performances, lack of attacking intent, players in strange positions etc. A point isn't wrist slitting territory, especially against Derby, but ......but. There are just some big "buts" to think on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clud17 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I always hope for three points at Derby but always content with one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieB Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Think most are happy with a point away from home, but were just frustrated at the performance. Then again derby were equally crap. It was just a boring game of football overall wasn't it. Move on to next week, we're in a good position with a long way to go. Last season was far more frustrating than this let's be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Anyone who thinks that wasn’t a decent point then they’re off the head and let’s face it, most are on here Seriously we’ve gained ground on Plymouth and kept Derby at arms length. Yes, Barnsley are creeping up on us but I think we’ll keep them at bay. On to Exeter next Saturday, with one or two key players back, we hopefully will get the win. As I keep saying, we’ll be fine but it suits the narrative of some to keep thinking everything will turn to sh!t. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I'd have taken a point. But if I'd known it was going to be a scrappy 0-0 draw I wouldn't have bothered going 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Owl Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Opportunity missed, but agree with OP I'd have taken a point before the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What were the poor tactics today? Interested to understand what you would have done differently, other than saying something banal like ‘go for the win / 3 points’. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) Point was absolutely fine. Performance was a bit naff, but then Derby were pretty dreadful too. Two teams who seemed more worried about losing than winning the game today. The gap to Plymouth is down to 2 points and we are right in the mix.

lukeyswfc Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I’m happy with the point because that was a dreadful performance. 2 shots on target in 90 minutes? We didn’t test Wildsmith enough. Disappointing, but we’ve gained on Plymouth so with it’s a bad weekend for all 3 of us but worse for Plymouth. Barnsley win their game in hand and they are 5 behind? The 3 horse race maybe opening up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kew Owl Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 This is definitely a point gained, not two points dropped, IMHO. I don’t think too many sides will be coming away from Pride Park with all 3 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morganowl Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 bit of an awful game both sides played as bad as each other but this season like many games this season we can scrap wins/draws without playing exciting football . we have become hard to beat but to get top 2 we need to improve in the final 3rd . we could have played till sunday and wouldnt have scored today. but happy with a draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouth are probably quite relieved and pleased that after a bad result they're still top and "got away with it" - the gap only closed by a point with Ipswich conceding late and Wednesday not winning, they could've easily been in third place now.
