Tony DaWonderful 35 Posted October 3, 2020 Its time for my return! Too many pant wetters have taken over this forum...Have they actually watched the game today?! Do they understand football at all?! It was almost the spit of the Stoke game 2 seasons ago, dominated the whole game to be undone with one bit of quality (Stoke game was Tim's own goal I know). However we went on a good run after that and I fully expect the Farker and the team to turn it around this time. These sort of games today come round at least once or twice a season. I saw our back 4 seldom worked, the midfield totally dominant and Pukki, Aaron's and Hugill so very unlucky! So I suggest to reflect before you post the negative comments the game was no where near the disaster people are making out! Otbc 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clint 221 Posted October 3, 2020 It was nothing like the Stoke game. We cheered the players off the park after that match as they gave everything and played well. We were not unlucky today, we were powder puff in attack, showed no urgency and were average at best, against a poor Derby team. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony DaWonderful 35 Posted October 3, 2020 Its the knowing whats going to happen that makes it oh so frustrating...but that's football! A real assured performance today just missing Lady Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Wynless Jones 161 Posted October 3, 2020 Do they understand the game? My understanding is to score more than the opposition, which is something we've done once in 18 games, unless I'm missing something ground breaking of course? 🤷♂️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cantwell dragged a shot wide in that game and that was it. We dominated that game and got nothing too....and sorry for not being able to cheer the boys today!

Otbc Leaving aside the penalty miss that can happen to anyone, please clarify how Pukki was 'unlucky'? He is carrying on the Project Restart form unfortunately.

Tony DaWonderful 35 Posted October 3, 2020 If we dominate games like this every week we WILL win more than we lose. Only one team attacked today! If we had created nothing then I would say fair enough to the negative comments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's always very difficult for you to visualise anything positive happening regarding NCFC, I agree. We have Rotherham, Birmingham and Wycombe in our next three games.

Teemu’s right foot 53 Posted October 3, 2020 We didn’t dominate the whole game, We dominated possession but done very, very little with it. You make it sound like that should have been a convincing win and that we’ve peppered their goal with efforts. There was some nice intricate passing with very little end product Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very binary argument, could it not be argued that Rooney was lucky not to fall over?. I suppose his two air shots will be conveniently forgotten to support the negative narrative in respect of Pukki. Maybe Teemu could become the new scapegoat when Todd leaves?.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
