Official match thread - Derby

[Drazen Muzinic 1,446]

We need less faffing and more direct threat when some of those crosses come in. Hugill or Idah after 60 minutes please.

Same problem as last week. Pointless putting the ball wide and whipping crosses in without Hugill up front.

In fairness, quintillia has put some decent crosses in. Problem is that isn't really Pukkis strength 

[Michael Wynless Jones 161]

I'd bring Rupp off at half time and stick on Hugill, need some height in their box from these crosses, and Rupp is especially noticeably slowing us down far too much, and with Derby almost playing 4-6-0 I don't see the need for both Skipp and Rupp.

Emi and Stieps have gone missing so the service to Pukki dries up.

Buendia on a tightrope now

 

Derby will work on him now...

Very average.

Best player for me. I do think him and skipp are very similar though.

You called?

[Icecream Snow 761]

Emi has spent half the game kicking and fouling people

[cambridgeshire canary 6,738]

What's the point in all these fantatsic crosses when we dont have any players up top on the pitch who can head the ball?

Gibson has settled well, Rupp is mixing it up in the middle and playing well, Max is getting plenty of the ball.

Crosses need to find targets though.

Flat after the first 10 mins.

[Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,821]

Not exactly one for the neutral. Five shots, one on target, but not even a half-chance.

[Dean Coneys boots 1,400]

We play some nice football but have become very blunt up front. If we can’t put this team to the sword the season will be looong

[Teemu’s right foot 53]

Not sure what to make of that half, some nice play but very little end product and their keeper hasn’t been tested. Little point in continuing to get wide and cross high with the players we have out there. Concerned that if the match continues this way that derby will get a smash and grab breakaway goal 

[vlad666 203]

Idah for steipermann for me. 

[NFN FC 1,123]

Rupp just can't weight his passes accurately. He slows us down on the counter

[City 101 83]

Promotion contenders 🤣🤣 not a chance . Toothless garbage .

[Uncle Fred 526]

Dreadful half we need to invest in attacking players very very quickly

Looking at the bench, I'm not sure how the team could be improved. Maybe Vrancic for Stiepermann or McLean for Rupp, but both would be sideways moves rather than actual improvements.

Can anyone please explain how Steeperman gets in the team instead of Vrancic!!??

 

[TeemuVanBasten 3,327]

I don't know if its Derby doing a good job on us, or us struggling to get into second gear, but the tempo feels so slow.

People always say that Leitner didn't get enough goals or assists, but he can dictate tempo!

Probably because Vrancic's legs have gone and he always looks like he's pulling his boots on for a charity game five years after retiring.

He has become a liability.  Suspect temperament and he was unable to cut it in the EPL.  How many goals did we concede from his losing the ball and sitting on his backside complaining?

I would prefer to see him more central but personally I'd rather sell him and buy Pritchard.

Rupps not the scapegoat this time, he looks up for it. My biggest criticism is Hernandez constantly offside and Buendia having little meltdowns every 5 minutes

With Pukki in the hole.

We've got a few crosses in, I'd want Idah or Hugill on the end of those.

This rhetoric again! 

[Kenny Foggo 1,116]

Started well, faded.... Bit toothless from some real promising positions. Bit dull. Need to shoot, only one on target.

Oh p*ss off, Pritchard is rubbish and done nothing at Huddersfield. 

That would complete our transition to mid-table team. 

[Clint 221]

Rupp has been our best player. Anyone who says otherwise is simply looking for a scapegoat.
