Ramrod 258 Posted October 3, 2020 This kind of match where the opposition sit deep is ideal for a striker like Hugill. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzar 1,702 Posted October 3, 2020 Derby have set up well, giving our advanced full backs the opportunity to hit balls in they can defend comfortably. Also making it difficult to play through them. But they're having to work hard, so hopefully more space in the second half to score. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's made some decent challenges yes, but has no awareness of what those ahead of him are doing. If we're saying he's been one of our best players today, then I'm even more worried than ever.

I agree, on top of dictating tempo, he is aways available to receive the ball and he links defence to attack. He may not get many assists but he does a really good job of getting the ball to our dangerous players in positions where they can do damage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Il Pirata 249 Posted October 3, 2020 1 minute ago, Ramrod said: 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. I can't see Buendia finishing the game today... I'd love Pritchard back, but we can't afford to put all our eggs in one basket with another injury prone player. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingston Yellow 220 Posted October 3, 2020 Very much like last season. Nice attractive football, opposition comes with a game plan to sit back, soak it up, no end product from all the possession. Then the game starts to turn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People always say that Leitner didn't get enough goals or assists, but he can dictate tempo! I think it's both. I just get the feeling with the sale of some of the big guns going we're seeing the start of the end of the Farke story here, just feels like a natural conclusion at the moment.

Christoph Stiepermann 1,138 Posted October 3, 2020 Pleased with Rupp today, when the opposition sit off and don't compete physically he looks pretty nifty. Hugill on soon for me, the only space is out wide and nobody on our team can get on the end of any of these crosses. This looks more like our last Championship season, but I can't help thinking that's more to do with Derby not pressing or outmuscling us like other teams do. Think we'll nick this with a very nervy 1-0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFN FC 1,123 Posted October 3, 2020 3 minutes ago, Dr Greenthumb said: 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 Buendia is being a little b1tch, agreed. Needs to show some professionalism. Rupp has been playing well, he just needs to add a touch more weight to his passes to speed it up a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We'll agree to disagree, not saying he's been crap, but he's been far from the dizzy heights of good. Not really sure what his strengths are to be honest, bit of a McLean without the extra running. 😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keith Scott 244 Posted October 3, 2020 Rupp mom. Buendia looks up for it but getting frustrated as players aren't playing to his level. 2 or 3 times he made great runs in behind the defence but a pass was not forthcoming. Maybe needs Vrancic. Constantly whipping in crosses which is a complete waste of time with our height. Another toothless performance so far. Cheers K Scott. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WD40 720 Posted October 3, 2020 Pukki not doing enough. If we’re crossing the ball, get Hugill on. Gibson looks comfortable and Skipp looking well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The last time he came on (last week) he barely gave the ball away, and started at least 3 very dangerous moves resulting in goal scoring opportunities with pinpoint accuracy!

ged in the onion bag 855 Posted October 3, 2020 Would replace Rupp (tactically as we seem to have enough in there) for Idah or Hugill and go for it. No point in waiting around, needs a brave move to take this by its scruff! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The whole 'legs gone' rhetoric is nonsense. Yes he has always been more effective as a sub for 10/15/20 minutes. Not relevant to the guy advocating we put him in our first XI, which is who I was replying to. If you have an issue with Vrancic not starting then that is your problem with Farke's selection and decisions, write him a letter or something, I don't pick the team believe it or not.
