It's the first time we've done it at home this season from kick off lol.nicholaldo wrote: ↑Sat Sep 29, 2018 4:38 pm
With respect, we're playing that way becaue they're allowing us to. It isn't the first time we've done it.
Just shows what we can do with a positive attitude and a (more) positive line-up!

Two shots on target and a possession rate of one in four. Parky out? No, because it matters bog-all if you can keep a clean sheet, which we did today, through good team work - and a special shout to the stand-in keeper.

Bull. We won that because our defensive set up was perfect. Every time Derby got it we put numbers behind the ball, but maintained excellent structure.Jugs wrote: ↑Sat Sep 29, 2018 6:22 pmIt's the first time we've done it at home this season from kick off lol.nicholaldo wrote: ↑Sat Sep 29, 2018 4:38 pm

We looked dangerous on the counter, but that's a million miles from being on the front foot from kick off.

Virtually the perfect performance against Derby today. They had one effort on goal. One. And enjoyed almost all the possession. But our defensive structure was top, top draw. Probably the only way we can win that day.
Whoever said we were ‘on the front foot’ seriously wants to get their eyes checked.

Aye, we hardly had a sniff for the first ten minutes and when we did attack it was on the break on pretty much every occasion. We didn't always go long and we did play some good stuff as the match wore on, but it was largely because they threw so many men forward that they left us with plenty of space to play in. Oztumer obviously made a difference but it wasn't as though we had a completely different approach in an attacking sense. We've done what we did today before when we've had the room to do it.
Hobbs and Lowe were immense by the way.
Re: Carpe Diem....Versus Derby County at the Unibol, Sat 29th Sept.
Lmao maybe front foot was the wrong way of putting it but this was definitely a more positive, aggressive performance.
I know some of you like to deny PP is ever negative at home, but slotting Otzumer - who was excellent - in there today was a big difference from the Sheffield United game when our flat midfield had no idea how to get out and move the ball forward - or any belief.
Today we had some ideas, belief, desire, aggression and at times even urgency to get up the pitch when we had the chance. We had to defend a lot but there were avenues out of defence and into attack this time.

We accept there's a lack of quality by comparison to many in this league but as long as we work as hard as that every time, we'll always have a chance.
1 to 11 we were superb. Big shouts out to Matthews whose distribution was an improvement on Bens, Hobbs, McGennis and to my Motm - Jason Lowe. Bloody brilliant

Re: Carpe Diem....Versus Derby County at the Unibol, Sat 29th Sept.
I was just going to say the same thing.
First match this season so eight players I had not seen before. Hobbs and Lowe were excellent but so were Wheater and Magennis.
We didn't see much of our two full backs as they kept their shape and defensively both were solid.
Williams was a nuisance all game and worked hard alongside the excellent, Lowe. Oztumer is a busy attacking midfielder but also picked the pocket of Bradley Johnson 3 or 4 times so tracks back as well. He did his job well but today's game didn't really help his style of play.
Noone and Buckley linked up brilliantly for the goal but are equally as frustrating as each other. Buckley summed himself up in one minute of the first half when he reacted first to a poor ball across their box and had a one-on-one with their keeper. I have no idea what the hell he was trying to do fannying about but he gave the defender a chance to get a tackle in when he should have shot. The next thing he latches onto a ball down the winger, gets half a yard on the defender and puts across a great ball for Noone to head in from a tight angle. Wingers can be like that but I wanted more from both of them.
Magennis is fantastic as the lone target man. Won every header and held the ball up very, very well. I like him and a important signing for the way we play.
We have that solid spine down the team now with Wheater, Hobbs, Lowe and Magennis that means we should do OK this season. In particular, Hobbs (my man of the match today), is so much better than Beevers. Better in the air, better with the ball, a better tackler and doesn't go to sleep occasionally.
I was expecting up to get beat comfortably today so to get three points is a real bonus.

Re: Carpe Diem....Versus Derby County at the Unibol, Sat 29th Sept.
Don’t forget SJM defending from the front. Did he really cost us just £200k??
I fancied us yesterday. When I saw Alnwick was out I changed my mind! Absolute class work rate and defending that. F*ck you Frank Lampards Derby County!!!
Ace win. How much did Waghorn cost and he only get 10 minutes?? Yet we compete on a shoestring. Top drawer again and that image of Noone and Darby after the goal is top drawer.
For Steven and for Eddie that one.

Oztumer played well. He did offer an outlet. But we had 26% possession and had two efforts on target. Today was the same as we’ve played every game at home except for Derby pratted about and we kept our defensive shape superbly. The early goal clearly contributing too. If anything it was our biggest rearguard effort at home yet.Jugs wrote: ↑Sat Sep 29, 2018 7:36 pmLmao maybe front foot was the wrong way of putting it but this was definitely a more positive, aggressive performance.

Thought Derby was our bogey team (or one of many)? Great win!

Aye, but Lowe was the man of the match. Hobbs very good and added a new dimension to our back line. Reads the game a bit Gudni like.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Sat Sep 29, 2018 8:37 pmFWIW, Hobbs won the BWFC Twitter MOTM vote.malcd1 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 29, 2018 7:44 pm

But Lowe was critical today. He held it together perfectly in midfield. His partner Williams looked far less assured but Lowe kept him going.

I'd have given MotM to Lowe. Top quality defensive-midfield performance - he must run on Duracell batteries.
