Matchday Thread: Derby v Norwich

[Geoff Parkstone]

Same old same old after 25 - no possession no chances created and no ****ing hope. There must be an old episode of Only Fools and Horses on that I've only seen 8 times in my life Somewhat less than I've seen this sort of performance in under 3 months.

Dunno about Only Fools, more like one foot in the grave

A lesson from history - twice I can remember the tide turning with the introduction of a great defender - Stimac as we ran up the league and West as we made a great escape. Langas has the same potential, what a difference he (and the change in formation) made to the team.

Couldn’t agree more. Absolute chalk and cheese in terms of first and second half performances. Langas made a huge difference - as did the change of shape which his introduction made possible - and if fit (please!!) should start as captain on Saturday, imo. Natural leader and great example.
Might have been out of it by half time as we looked completely hopeless, but equally could have been 3-0 up by the time Norwich hit the inside of the post.
Huge relief, not least for JE who, from about 15 metres away, looked like a man on the edge last night. Still at least he cares and I reckon he was as relieved as any fan at the final whistle.

[Geoff Parkstone]

I think MA will be the most relieved as his run of overseeing bad results for us ended - although not necessarily bad performances

[SithHappens]

Langas is quality, needs to start.

As rA suggested Langas certainly made the difference. Eustace made the changes and deserves recognition for that. QPR coming up and they will offer more than the Canaries but another 3 points will be most welcome.

Langas could well be the catalyst. Chalk and cheese when he came on
