Popular Post dounavilla Posted December 10, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2017 Are Derby the new Real Madrid or something ? we certainly can beat them at pride park. I' not saying we will but it is not a certainty we wont. If this division has shown us anything, it that anyone can beat anyone. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking several years in this league. And people wonder why people on here are so critical of Bruce. It's because there's a big chance we'll be a Championship team for years to come if we continue playing the way we are. Also given what we spent in these last 2 years that should not be the case! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also showed us that more often than not we go to direct rivals' grounds and play like they really are Real Madrid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I said after the Terry injury that I thought we would be out of the play-off places by the start of January. I really hope my fears aren't realised because we need to get wins against these teams that we are playing in the next few games, if we want to make it easy on ourselves going into the second half of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Terry injury has greatly effected us, we're not suddenly porous at the back. What's harming us, and what wasn't addressed in the summer, was how devoid of attacking ability and intent we are. Adomah's purple patch has kind of papered over the cracks a little, but now he's been identified by the opposition we're toothless. Davis might work hard and prove a good target for the midfield but he's not going to score enough goals, Onomah is a waste of space and our attacking options are all injured, in Oz, or well out of form. Automatic promotion is nearly impossible, maintaining playoffs is the aim so we need attacking options brought in in January for that to be the case. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact we are so scared of Derby is a reflection of our performances all season and our results against the better teams. We have to improve. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So trust, we don't need a Real Madrid to be turd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but the problem is that they are the kind of games where a team might take their eye off the ball and be hit with a sucker punch, losing a game they were expected to win. However teams are always up for it against us, so that doesn’t happen. And remember Reading took us to the cleaners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 5 forwards in the squad to launch a promotion bid....whilst the majority of the league had 6/7/8... its poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Performance sounded even worse. Not good. We're going to have to win a couple of the big games over xmas to stay in touch. This is pretty much what I said a few weeks ago, only for you to call me a doom monger. It seems you can now see the reality of the situation. We just aren't as good as you seem to think whereas I think we are doing ok considering the players we have available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Crunch time right now. This period of games with us short on strikers and with Chris Samba running on fumes, well the odds are stacked against us - but we've seen a reaction from this squad a few times this season so there's no reason we can't go get something against Derby. Gloves are off now, time to fight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they are exactly the same. Two games on form and paper both teams should have won, they didn't. Nothing to do if they are exceptions or not, the point is games don't always go the way they should. Just ask Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
